Indeed they do. Orcs may have NOPAIN, but they do bleed, and have organs. So spears would probably be one of the best weapons against them. They are like short range, very big crossbow bolts.
Also, don't start training speardwarves until their sparring partners are wearing full plate and a shield.

[Akigagak]

Most experiences I've had with spears v orcs end with an orc with a spear through his arm, and a speardwarf with no remaining limbs.

[TatersAndTots]

Axes are usually the best. Since you can lose your spears, and axes can't. More importantly, orcs cants fight if you chop their arms off! The orcs really dont stop till they are dead, so lopping limps off ASAP keeps them from overwhelming. Not sure about hammers...

This topic has also been discussed in the regular Orc Mod thread. The consciences was axes are the best.

[scuba]

well if u hit an orc qith a hammer and send him hurtling into a wall making him explode into his main components.... isnt that usefull?

*************************************
Ginji thrashed around furioulsy, but she couldn't lessen the grip that the orc had on her.

'Mas mëx'th tzi cartz'

At this, Ginji stopped trying to escape and stared at the orc.

'Ssoo, you know our words? That makes thing easier.'

'Wok, what have you found?'

'A way in, Urist.'

'Where?'

'Get your squad. And Fred and his, I'll show you.'

Jervous was scared. Ginji had just been dragged out, and it had gone quiet.
'What do you think they're doing?' He asked.

'Eating her alive.' replied Augustus.

'Shut up.'

'You asked.'

'How long have you known her?' asked Abclatter.

'Who, Gijni? Not long, about four months.' answered Jervous 'But is this the time for stories?'

'Suppose not.'

'Who said that?'

'You make too much noise, Mangua.'

'I know that voice. Come out, Bob.'

[shadowclasper]

I'll take an Axe Dwarf position then.

[tehstefan]

I just hope Urist Mcorcbait lasts long enough to become legendary in axe. The ultimate in irony, in my opinion.

[Rashilul]

Sup' lil' buddy, I'll take a place in Marksdwarf squad 2, if I may.

[Nordic dorf]

il take an axedwarf if possible,make him an engineer after reclaim,whichever one you want to pick,name him nord.this sounds quite epic.
Edit: or macgyver. ive always wanted a dwarf named macgyver.

[scuba]

ooh forgot what soldiers my guy was. hmm doesnt matter sword and marksmen. either will work

[Lyrax]

I love this story.

[sonerohi]

Wok is nowhere near sane enough to have said any of that. Instead, I present the way he would have said it : 'Guys, guys! The candy-rock roadway!' (Other dorf asks how he found it) ' The carrot and the bunny and me played fetch and carrot found this rock! *Displays a small, frightened woodland critter* *Crushes woodland critter in palm and stuffs down shirt*'.

[Akigagak]

*************************************

'There.' said Wok, pointing at the base of the camp's wall, about eighteen tiles away. 'See it?'

'No,' Said Mc Orcbait 'I can only see a very basic wall, made of bits of tree.'

'Can none of you see it?' Asked Wok.

The other eight dwarves shook their heads.

'The wall, it's been repaired there, and recently. And orcs were never known for their skill at building.'

'Slaves?' asked one of Urist's dwarves.

'I think so. And when have slaves ever done the best job they can? The orcs wouldn't notice the poor work, unless one of their rīpas' oquus inspected it.'

'Rīpas oquus?'

'It means 'nobles' advisors', in orcish.' explained Fred Mc Orcbait. 'So... We climb?'

'No, we dig. We're dwarves, after all.'

Shymyro Ruvaxńamav was a happy Orc.
He was on the ridge above the camp, and he could see three short figures ahead that were looking over the camp, an he knew that anyone up here that he didn't recognize, he could kill.

*************************************
Sonerohi: I kind of need sane, coherent dwarves. Or at least for this chunk. He could lose his sanity on the way north, I suppose.

Scuba: His name is Ascubis.

Dorf: Sure, we've got the space.

Everyone else: Sorry, for not updating this, only just got internets back 30 minutes ago.

[Jervous]

oh, hey I'm in the story. Cool. What weapon do I use? If you haven't decided, can I have a flail/mace?

[Akigagak]

You are a uselessdwarf, in the slave hut. Maybe you'll get a weapon off of a orc corpse.
