Wooden weapons?
« on: July 14, 2009, 09:59:56 pm »
So I was quite unaware that wooden weapons were a possibility at all.

Except you see, the Elves just brought a mahogany short sword.
A MAHOGANY SHORT SWORD.
How do I make wooden weapons?

I think I'll just show my "appreciation" for this... insult... by making new elfbone equipment. >.>

I was talking about importing alimunim.
And we were hypothesising about the sexual relations between elves and trees.

Only the elves have the skill to make wooden weapons.

Which is good, because they lack the brains to make metal ones.

You see, booze is a parasite. It lives off dwarves and compels them to dig into the ground so as to create massive defences to protect it's self. It really shouldn't be called dwarf fortress, Booze fortress would make much more sense.

when you live in trees, you can't really forge anything. They need something to fight with or every Elven war would devolve quickly into slapping sessions

Take them from the elfs and use the wood weapons for training. I have a champion sword dwarf because he did nothing but train with a wood sword on some poor dorf in platemail.

when you running a logging business, you can't really forge anything. They need something to fight with, because Elven war always devolves quickly into slapping sessions

Refixed.
I don't think they really live in the trees.
Someone should send a liaison to them and ask them to stop being hypocrites sitting on trees and hurting them with their weight.

We may soon have the ability to make wooden practice weapons, I've been bugging Toady about it.  I would imagine they would do much less damage than anything the elves would make, though.

Liaison: "Excuse me, you're hurting this tree by living in it."
Elf: "Oh dear me! So I am! I'll stop it immediately!"
Liaison: "And now you're hurting the tree by climbing down it."
Elf: "Oh no! I'll just fall out then."
*Thump*
Liaison: "Look! Those woodpeckers are hurting the tree."
Elf: "I need to get them down from there!"
Liaison: "But how will you get them down without climbing on the tree?"
Elf: "Nooooooooo!!!!"

Elves won't take my wooden goods, but they'll sell me all of their wooden goods?

Tossers.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.

Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

Elves are a very valuable resource!

Every year they sell me 100+ logs.

I then chuck these logs right into the furnaces to fuel my industry.  :D
