Why are we so sure of his victory?

Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

I am tempted at the moment to create an account under the name "Morul" and post here saying "Thanks".

I think I may be addicted to insanity.

Another siege. 3 squads, but they showed up a day after the human caravan and one squad were right on their heels. Morul was much more expedient with these orcs than the last set - even with just the silver mace, he knocked out two squads before descending on the 3rd on the other side of the map, and even with all of that he still got half the kills of the 3rd squad, the human guards getting the other half. No merchants killed, but three human guards were cut down.

His armor skill bumped up to grand master, but nothing else changed. He's still talented mace. Social skills are making good progress, though. He's now great across the board. Another year or 2 at most for those, but mace is really crawling along, even with him sparring regularly. I might have to send him down to the animal arena again.

232 notable kills, 1177 other kills. Quite a ways to go to catch Ironblood, I'm certain.

How many injuries has he caused sparring? Even with a silver mace I'd imagine that his strength would kill/injure recruits left and right.

Actually, just one of note - a yellow hand injury. Lots of lesser injuries though.

Keep in mind that his sparring partners have been champions for about 3 decades and are clad head to toe in masterwork steel armor. All but one has got 300-400 kills. They're no slouch themselves. What is interesting is that in sparring, they're all legendary mace, but lesser armor/shield. It seems as though they're all getting hits on Morul and not as many in reverse. I wonder if Morul gets one swing in, wounds them (even minimally) and then sparring breaks off. He never spars for long.

Fools. If Morul was to fight Ironblood, none of them would be victorious.

Something along the lines of this would happen. (Don't mind the bothering narrative and the non-dwarven combatants. :P )

Morul would strike on Ironblood's shield while Ironblood would try to shieldbash Morul's weapon away. In essence, the sheer force of the combined impact would force upon the apocalypse. Both would survive this, of course, but the rest of dwarf- man- and elfkind would be destroyed and wiped away from all history.

And somewhere, on a distant planet light years away from the world as dwarves know it, a utopian society will go lost due to a shockwave pushing its planet out of orbit, and into the nearby sun.

I'd be careful when training Morul in Spears, he has the strength to punch through armor, and spears cause really bad crits.

One hit in the chest could cause someone to pierce their lungs and heart.

(In otherwords, DO IT!)

And i hope you meant this as good.

morul brining his hammer down on ironblood's shield may very well be a makeshift lhc.

Another siege, this time 5 full squads. Morul got through 4 of them but most of the 5th ran off. No wounds, no appreciable improvement in skills - still adept macedwarf. Even with the nerfed weapon, he doesn't get much weapon time in.

Up to 331 notable kills.

The fortress is doing some wealth generation now, so hopefully these sieges will be more frequent and equally as large.
