DF General Discussion / Artifact weapons
« on: February 26, 2023, 05:39:43 am »
After reading the wiki and trying to find info here, I still dont understand few things about non weapon-grade metal artifact weapons.
One of my dwarfs produced a tin war hammer, and I have few silver and steel masterwork warhammers. Is there any sence in using it? As far as I understand, attack rolls with artifact weapons will be better, and tin is almost as dence as iron, but too soft to effectively punch through weapon-grade plate armour?
Another dwarf crafted an artifact bronze short sword, is it any good compared to masterwork steel sword? Will it fail against steel plate armor, despite being artifact quality weapon?
What about other non-weapongrade, but dence metals? Bladed weapons will not work well, but what about blunt ones?
I understand that aluminum is too light and soft for any kind of weapon, but what about crossbows, bows, blowguns?
Sorry if this topic was discussed earlier, but I failed to find anything but incomplete bits of info here and there in the sea of topics and posts. Wiki info is old and incomplete.
