I'm noticing in 31.06 that macedwarves and hammer dwarves tend to actually kill stuff again. Usually through quite literally bashing something's brains out Did blunt damage get changed around a bit?

Mayhaps skulls have been made more crushable? I know there have been some issues with critical organs being... well not very critical? Maybe that's what has changed.

Yea I can kinda confirm some of what we were asking for is going on. Vital organs are vital (enough brain bashing is a fatal hit, messing up lungs will have you suffocate), and broken bones have a chance to tear open arteries (this happens after a ton of hits so usually in combat vs armored foes). Dying victims are still a cornucopia of red parts before they succumb, perhaps too many, but they do indeed die from being hammered to death

EDIT : It takes a while but it's confirmed the artery tearing can cause a dwarf to bleed to death. Dwarf on dwarf combat where both were wearing adamantine armor, the dwarf with the steel hammer banged the other into a pulp over a long time eventually bleeding him out.

EDIT2 : How were spears in early 2010 versions? I usually stayed away from them but i'm trying them out in the arena and they're NASTY. They cut tendons and nerves quite often, and generally pierce through armor. A few good hits will probably disarm the opponent. Also can cut off fingers Maybe i'll start giving my dwarves spears in fort mode...

Yeah, spears are nasty. Goblins like them too, which is

Slashed open arteries will cause a soldier to bleed to death very quickly. It's usually a certain death if it happens to someone. That's what I've noticed in my forts.

Honesly, quite useless. I like my adventurers using them, and I have to get the opponent COMPLETELY red before he finally suffocates from the lung wounds I gave him. A headshot does seem to drop enemies pretty fast...as in 1 shot fast.
