I can attest that whips are extremly deadly as of now. I just add my 6 hammerdwarf squad whipped out (i'm sorry for that one) by a single lasher during an ambush. He kiled them fast enough that none of them were able to land a hit.

The problem is we've all gotten off topic due to puns, and we're no longer axeing questions about the game mechanics themselves.

Anyways, on topic, are Spears more or less the same?  I assume that piercing is the same as slashing in that you want something that holds an edge?

Also, I've heard stuff about people killing Bronze Collosi, did I miss something and Toady fixed inorganic beings being nigh-indestructible, short of a lucky headshot, obsidian casting, or a kinetic strike from a cave-in?

Really, it's the scrouge of this thread.

Puns appart i'm trying to mod the whip to make them less of an instakill. What parameter should i work on ? I'll admit i don't know much on the subject

They arent' supposed to be invincible anymore. You can beat them but be prepared to lose a lot of dorfs

Has anybody looked into whether or not there is any difference now between the damage traps do?  If blunt is the new king, are blad traps still the #1 choice?

Spectre is wrong.  In adventure mode at least I've gotten my hammerman to gore some elves with the spike on the WH.

Don't double (or in this case triple) post. Anything you want to add can be done in an edit.

I still stand by axes as a weapon. Seeing the new results with warhammers i might bust a few out now, but i love my axes. Also picks are bloody deadly. Somewhere between an axe and a spear they do brutal amounts of damage in every incarnation of .31 so far that ive seen. Ive seen creatures have limbs HACKED off with PICKS. I think its the dwarfiest weapon out. The true dwarves weapon. Miners friend.
Hells yeah.

I want my old-style warhammers that slam goblins into trees 40 feet away. :(
