DF General Discussion / Some questions about density and weapons
« on: January 04, 2023, 09:50:29 pm »
I've read a degree of information in various threads, some pertaining to older versions of DF, about the efficacy of blunt weapons composed of different materials. In particular, I remember seeing information about maximum momenta attainable by weapons, which therefore leads to an upper limit on how much force they can hit with, even if they're composed of some extremely dense material. Thus: how much more effective are artifact blunt weapons composed of, say, gold, compared to those composed of silver? Are they significantly more effective, or just marginally so? Are platinum blunt weapons significantly more effective than those composed of gold?
Also, how do thrown objects behave with respect to momentum? Do they also have caps on momentum?
