Given that I've just been invaded by a large group of goblin macemen, many of which have morningstars and flails, will I be able to give my military dwarves those weapons? If so, does anyone know how effective they'll be compared to a normal mace?

[synkell]

well... I think you can equip them . But why use a morning star? An axe works wonders.

Axes are so boring though. Blunt weapons are where it's at. Also, I'm soon to have loads of them

[turgidtoupee]

Also, does anyone know about mauls; I have one, and a platoon of hammerdwarves; I figured since they're so much bigger, this also makes them heavier and more effective?

[Urist Imiknorris]

They're too big to be wielded by most dwarves.

[ungulateman]

They can't be wielded by any dwarf. Some human weapons can, but not human two-handed weapons.

[Urist Imiknorris]

It is possible, just very rare to have a dwarf large enough to do it.

[turgidtoupee]

Aw man. I just gave a dwarf a maul in arena mode too. Suppose I'll have to melt it then

[thijser]

You can mod the game to allow them to carry the maul.

Meh, I think I'll go without that. Anyone know how foreign weapons compare to dwarven ones though?

[Gearheart]

Most of them aren't good enough to warrant tracking down just to equip your dwarves with, aside from flails, whips and scourges.

Those three are dwarvern laser weapons.

[melomel]

You can put foreign weapons in traps, I think.  Dunno how effective they are there.

You mean the non-dwarven laser weapons?

Flails are good? Cause I'm about to get a large shipment. What about morningstars?

[breadbocks]

No. Whips are supersonic microhammers, Scourges are lightsabres, and Flails are weaker whips, I think.

[Darkmere]

I agree with the other folks, "imported" weapons work very well in traps. 3 bronze/steel discs and 7 random maces, mauls, halberds, bows, whatever... there's no kill like overkill.
