So I made a custom metal for blunt weapons...
« on: February 26, 2011, 08:43:33 am »

And I don't have a name for it. Weapons made of it are supposed to have a skeleton and shell of Adamantine, with the remaining spaces filled with platinum. So far the only name I can think of is Heavymantine, any suggestions for a better name?

Also, suggestions on how to improve my heavy adamantine alloy, like the value?

Doomantine.
Make it denser to increase damage. Don't worry about the value at the moment; trading is basically broken right now, so just set it to that of adamantine. This is an interesting idea, though; making a superalloy out of the two rarest metals in the game is quite interesting.

Armokantine. Be sure to make it Deep dark Red.

All your ideas are too awesome, I just wanted a way for Adamantine to be used in the construction of blunt weapons. Platinum was used because it's the densest metal, not because it's rare or valuable.

If I wanted my own awesome supermetal I would've included Pitchblende in its making.

Adamantine isn't rare! It's quite plentiful compared to other meals.

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.
So I just started playing this game and I accidentally nuked the moon.

Tromantine? Dluthantine? Casurtine?

Sorry, it's all Irish.
