So I was thinking, after killing an archangel and barely surviving, shouldn't that guy be stronger? Sure, he was powerful. But he simply wielded a base short sword. I feel as if each archangel should wield an artifact weapon. It'd be a real confidence booster to be able to take an artifact longsword crafted by the god that created that angel, maybe a different style of name for them, like "the twisted longsword of (insert god name)". It'd either be as good as an artifact, as in 3x more accurate, or even better, 4x as accurate. In legends mode, you could search up what weapon each god had created for which archangel.
Imagine delivering a god-made longsword to your fortress?

There already are. Here's an example from a world that I just happened to have open.

Code: [Select]

[GENERATED]
[SOURCE_HFID:41]
[NAME:knife:knives]
[ADJECTIVE:twisted]
[SIZE:200]
[SKILL:DAGGER]
[TWO_HANDED:27500]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:5000]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:1]
[ATTACK:EDGE:1000:800:slash:slashes:NO_SUB:1250]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]
[ATTACK:EDGE:5:1000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:1000]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]
As you can see, it's called a "twisted knife" and is associated with the Dwarf diety "Gärem".

I know they're generated by the god, but I mean a weapon specific for the archangel, named after the god, and better than an artifact weapon.

But what if the archangel is a horse?

[StagnantSoul]

I thought it was always humanoid? I've only fought ones that were humanoid.

[Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum]

I thought it was always humanoid? I've only fought ones that were humanoid.

I have only fought two, one was a horse made of ash and the other was a topaz quadruped.

[Arcvasti]

I thought it was always humanoid? I've only fought ones that were humanoid.

I have only fought two, one was a horse made of ash and the other was a topaz quadruped.

I've run into a six-legged quadrupedal archangel. It was terrifying.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

I've run into a six-legged quadrupedal archangel. It is terrifying.

Fixed that for you.

I feel like any further improvements to weapons past artifact level should focus on something other then increasing the chance to hit. Maybe it could do something like causing more bleeding, pain or nausea or it could cut through metal/armor better but havin it have be 4 times more likely to hit seems a little cheap, the *3 for artifacts is already really good but at *4 it seems as though it would be overpowered.

[Zammer990]

cut through metal/armor better

The current armour system makes anything with lower stats butter against edges, toady'd have to revamp the current lightsabre system into a more realistic representation for that to be an advantage

But that doesn't even make sense!  It's a contradiction in terms.

[StagnantSoul]

Yeah, I had an adamantine large dagger pierce through five leather cloaks, and two steel mail shirts effortlessly, from a dabbling knife user.

[LMeire]

It would be sort of interesting if they made something other than slabs. Personally though, I'd rather see gods crafting any kind of object, rather than just weapons. It could fill in a lot of plotholes in the production chain and possibly provide a more colorful questing experience if some god's twisted metal bucket becomes a highly sought after relic that everyone wants.

[Detoxicated]

Yea I mean in human history they were looking for artifacts of god as well, like the holy grail so its realistic and it fits in a fantasy theme. I'm totally for this.

Imagine looking for a Happiness increasing mechanism created by Bom the god of joy, laughter, and dreams.
Or a decaying artifact, only undead and necromancers could use it. This is a fantasy WMD which withers plants and food and kills weak animals, dries lakes.

Stuff like this would be amazing, and I guess it shouldn't be too hard to add items that increase certain emotions and such, but I wouldn't know,.

[Manzeenan]

I instantly thought of the runes from Masterwork Dwarf Fortress. I think that runes and poisons would be excellent implementations for generated artifact weapons
