Suggestion: Daggers
« on: June 20, 2008, 04:59:44 am »

I just had an idea. Make it so you can manufacture daggers out of metal. They'd be less-damaging short-swords, but the good part about them is that civilians can carry them. If a civilian has a dagger and sees an enemy, he won't run away, but he won't attack unless the enemy gets really close.

And you can have Marksdwarves use the daggers instead of clubbing people with their crossbows, eliminating a complaint of crossbow overpoweredness.

1. There are already daggers.
2. By adding a single line to the Dwarven entity, you can make daggers.

However, you cannot make dwarves carry daggers, and I do agree that all of them should, if possible.
