Can you still get foreign weapon via moods?
« on: June 30, 2011, 01:25:17 pm »

Well, what it says.

I used to get a lot of long swords, scimitars, bows and similar non dwarven weapons in the old 31.xx versions, but recently I noticed that I have not seen any of those for a long time now. In one of my lasts forts I had 3 or so artifact crossbows, usually one would think that I'd get at least one bow or blowgun with that many bowyer moods.

You can get foreign armor, at the very least. I just got a snazzy tophat last night.

Strange, but I also have no foreign weapons. Not many weapons to begin with. In my most developed fort I have over 30 "true" artifact and only one weapons, a battleaxe. But many foreign clothes and armors. Hm.

I never ever got foreign weapons via mood, and I had a lot of weapon moods since I train every skilless dwarf to be weaponsmith or armorsmith. Such a shame. I really want that adamantine whip.

You can get foreign weapons from moods with the current version.
As far as I remember, if your mooded dwarf has a preference to a traditional dwarven weapon and they're in the proper mood they'll tend to churn out a weapon based on what they like.

If they don't have a preference to any specific traditional dwarven weapon, then it's up to the RNG what they make.

Bows, maybe, with crossbow making skill. But not weapons via weaponsmith.

I really want that adamantine whip.
For snazziness, or for use? Whips are classed as blunt weapons.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

It's good to know it still works like that. I'll have to add a load of weapons that don't appear anywhere besides moods. I think there was a mod that did this but it was likely for versions <= 40d.

Adamantine whip is useless without modding it. It has a high velocity, but it's still a blunt attack.

I think it would be considered dwarfy to have an artifact weapon, made from the gates of Hell, and forged in the bowels of the Earth, with no use whatsoever.

Isn't a Scourge just an edged whip? Easy fix.

Plus, "Adamantine Scourge" sounds plenty badass.

Actually it isn't the whips attack that's deadly.

[ATTACK:BLUNT:1:10:lash:lashes:NO_SUB:5000]

It's relatively small. Instead, the reason why whips are deadly is because of the speed. 5000! Thus Adamantine whips would travel significantly faster, and would make up for this disadvantage.

After a quick test Adamantine whips kill faster then steel whips. Simply because the dwarf can make three more strikes then the steel one can.
