So I recently learned adamantine would be useless for blunt weapons next release.  I was saddened by this.  But then I realized something;  adamantine is a hard material that makes good armor in plates.  The same sort of thing should be applicable to blunt weapons made of soft, yet heavy, metals.  In other words, we should be able to make hollow blunt weapons out of weapon-grade metals and fill them in with heavy materials like lead (or possibly gold if you are eccentric) that normally can't be used for making weapons.  That is all.

If we're going to be making code for stuff inside of other stuff (craft-wise), can we apply this to foods with a creme filling?

[zchris13]

+1, All the way.  I fully support this.

ANd probably, no.  I have never seen cream.  I'm going for a cake inside a biscuit, but that's just awesome.

[Il Palazzo]

Somehow I've got the feeling that after implementing this we would end up with artifact hammers with cream filling.

[zchris13]

YES.

▼YES!!!

Twinkie, the solemn steel shortcake of smiting is engraved with dwarfs and dwarfs. The dwarfs are playing rugby with the dwarfs. It is filled with minced plump helmet flavored chocolate creme, and menaces with spikes of fudge, and sprinkles of fishbone.

This relates to the birthday of King SweetGut, the heart attack waiting to happen.

Sounds useful for discovering whether goblins have a cream filling too.

Um. Anyways, yes. You should be able to use a unit of adamantine (a strand or a wafer depending on the item) to reinforce weapons and armor.

 This is an obsidian pot. It menaces with spikes of obsidian. The pot is filled with an Obsidian Pot. The pot is filled with an Obsidian Pot. The pot is filled with an Obsidian Pot. The pot is filled with an Obsidian Pot. The pot is filled with an Obsidian Pot. The pot is filled with ants.

Now that I think about it, though, it begs the question of whether or not this is applied only to adamantine.

It might be silly to plate/coat iron hammers with sheets of lead, or bronze swords with brass... but what about weapons plated/coated in gold, silver, or black bronze?

If the elves are not at least proficient traders, they will not notice these are gilded copper things, and not actual golden things! Brilliant!

Or better yet, we can create wooden objects and cover them in metal, and they will never tell the difference! Adamantine weighs about the same as wood, right?

Or even better yet, we sell them "silver"ware eating utensils made of solid tallow dipped in silver! We'll see how insane the elves can really get, especially if they find out what they're sticking in their mouths when the silver wears off...

[inaluct]

Wouldn't dipping tallow in molten silver just melt the tallow?

[Vaiolis]

They're dwarfs! They shall remove the silver-covered tallow from its dipping place and cool the silver enough to harden it before the tallow manages to melt/leak out! Or perhaps we will just encase a spoon-shaped chunk of meat in silver. As long as the elves taste flesh when they least want to.

Come to think of it... a metal should be made that is solid in cold temperatures but liquid in average ones. Find elves that live in a temperate forest, create a fortress in an arctic area. Then, make hollow objects from that metal. Fill them with the blood of elves and things. Then sell them to the elven traders! Sure, they will be fine for a while, but once they're home and unload, the metal shall melt, and blood shall flood their grounds!

Or make the metal sublimate at average temperatures and have the elves be hit on two fronts. And with the upcoming airborne toxins, which might be able to be implemented in metals...

[tsen]

Mmm, yes.

[scale_e]

Yo dawg, herd you leik weapons. So I put a weapon in ur weapon, so u can kill while you kill...
...Sorry, couldn't help myself...

Somehow I've got the feeling that after implementing this we would end up with artifact hammers with cream filling.

My god, I lol'd so hard. That just made my day, thankyou.

Wouldn't dipping tallow in molten silver just melt the tallow?

Yes.
Wouldn't that make the elves rage?
Also yes.
Is that awesome?
Yes again.

Furthermore, if Elves aren't raging, it's not my revolution.

I'm not sure stone depositing is open enough that we could order a certain stone to only appear in arctic climes, just yet. (If I can be proven wrong, by all means, do so.) This would likely be a prerequisite for such a metal, if it were to exist.

Also, stones don't use their fixed temps/temperature calculations while still embedded in the earth, so you'd likely just end up mining into the stone and having it puddle at your feet.
