Spike with..
« on: April 11, 2008, 11:40:00 am »
Basically, from metalsmiths, masons workshops, craftsdwarf places, you should be able to spike something with metal, stone, or wood respectively.  Weapons with spikes on should get damage bonuses.  Being spiked AND crushed by a warhammer wouldn't be pleasant, for sure.

If DF gets mathematicians then I want them to produce theorems that menaces with spikes of Koch recursion.

If I wanted to recreate the world of one of my favorite stories, I should be able to specify that there is a civilization called Groan, ruled by Earls from a castle called Gormanghast.
You won't have trouble supplying the Countess with cats, or producing the annual idols to be offerred to the castle. Every fortress is a pale reflection of Ghormenghast..

These "Spikes"... would they be menacing?

And since this is dwarf fortress, when you tell the metalsmiths to spike items, they would choose items more or less at random, just like the decorate jobs... XD

No, you should be able to select the item.  Functional items for spiking, like weapons, should take priority too, if this isn't possible.

This is a Dwarven Rum [10].  This item menaces with spikes of poppyseed.

When I saw this topic title I imagined "spike" in the sense of adding something to a drink. Hmm...

Actually, that would be an admission of guilt.  Opium and herion are derived from poppy seeds.

Spikes are decrotive, not functional. Thus, a damage bonus is silly. Also, with how you can stack decorations, it'd be very broken.
