why? its a shorthand for  mobile uses.

[Splint]

Spoiler: Because I'm an uptight prick about weapons (click to show/hide)

Because there's no such thing as an "ecks" (x) bow you sniveling uneducated peon! You go back to the capital, and learn what weapons are actually called damn it, because you clearly slept through Professor Urist's course on Dwarven Military History and Armement.

I've seen things, bro. Terribly, terribly disappointing horrific things.

(fixed)

I saw this and thought "You know, this will probably be the sentiment of everyone who has the misfortune of facing the Spawn and not dying horribly... And I'm okay with that."

OK, I've added y'all to the dwarfing list and am now going to begin my turn in earnest. Splint, I don't have any swords or swordsdwarves lying around so I'm going to make you a speardwarf so that you can still be militia commander (electing someone else only to replace them with you feels... weird).

I honestly can't think of anyone better to follow up on my turn, as a suck at military and that's pretty much your specialty, so with any luck you'll be able to pick up my slack.

[Splint]

Good enough. Sharp sticks did pretty well last time I tested them on Spawn anyway..

[Mr Frog]

Yeah, spears are good at reaching through to their hearts.

I think spears also suffer the least from being made of shit materials like copper, which is why I usually take two them with me on my embark to save points.

[pisskop]

neat.  I want a turn and dwarf.

[Mr Frog]

Sure thing! Is there a specific sort of dwarf you want?

Completed the Spring leg of my playthrough, dorfed Splint, Ribbonfree, and Jeff/cherry-hearts. Highlights include getting our first mutant transformation within a couple weeks of starting. Will start work on the writeup shortly.

[pisskop]

Doctor.  Or xbow

[Ribbonfree]

I died boys gg

Three weaknesses (two if  Mr Frog patched it): Bisection, heart trauma of any sort, and possibly decapitation. Spears are very good for hitting the heart and disabling things where you'd need a strong or skilled blunt-weapons user to do any reliable harm and when you can't really afford more choppy stuff. Plus, spears fared better than any other weapon (2nd place was a three-way tie between pikes, swords, and axes last time I did any testing.)

Yeah, blunt weapons don't really impact deeply enough to damage their hearts and are only really good for breaking limbs, which isn't enough to slow them down when they can just bite you.

I fixed Spawn being weak to decapitations, but bisecting them still works. They're also immune to bleeding. The only way to kill them is to chop them in half or damage their obsidian hearts.

Writeup is about 40% done.
