Macedwarves.
« on: October 02, 2008, 03:11:02 pm »

It's one thing when an axedwarf hits a home run.

It's another thing entirely when a macedwarf cleaves something in half and scatters limbs.

:D Current home run record is 35 tiles.

I remember once during a weak Goblin siege relatively early-on in my Fortress, my Macedwarf managed to smack one Goblin back into a tree (18 tiles away) and it quite literally look like it exploded, leaving chunks and limbs in a five-tile radius.

My other "home run" was pretty much a grand slam, smashing a Goblin backwards across my entrance bridge (8 tiles, maybe, not huge) and smashing him into ANOTHER Goblin, killing them both. I laughed.

I'm intending to build a "baseball field" with walls so my homeruns can produce nice splatters.

Also, a drawbridge to trap the goblins inside.

Also works good:
Getting them to fight on a raised platform surrounded by magma (my arena)
Making a 20 z level high tower platform with no edges. Set macedwarves to spar.

Magma is overrated.

Oh dear lord..... ONLY THE STRONGEST SURVIVE!

Although, if you used Hammerdwarves they'd be perfectly fine since they'd just go over the moat.

My friend told me about one of his only soldiers, who he named "Macedwarf," that ran around with 2 maces in each hand, beating the shit out of every goblin in site.

One time, Macedwarf hit a goblin three screen lengths (not sure what that is in tiles, maybe like 75?) into another crowd of goblins. The crowd got scared and ran away
