Oh, I do train spearsdwarves, that is actually all that I train, and I don't have many sparring accidents either. However, if you put a spearsdwarf and axedwarf of similar skill with similar weapons the axedwarf consistantly comes out on top...
Whatever, I guess I don't know, but the fact about whether or not they suck is actually irrelevant, I was actually asking if there was going to be some kind of bonus when several spearsdwarves work together, as in a phalanx (impossible without multi-tile range anyways right?) or some kind of a mega-beast poke-fest.

My problem with Projectiles are its high penetration power, afaik armor simply gives a damage reduction and a bonus to dodging(blocking whatever) a hit
Imo spears should be the 3ft tall dwarf's answer to the multi-tile megabeast

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Projectiles and Spears
« on: September 26, 2009, 10:17:25 am »
I have got three questions
Projectiles are imo broken, maybe restrain the Projectiles into just 11 directions (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW, Up, Down) in Nethack-esque style? I suppose more directions would be needed, but like I said I think that Projectiles are currently broken and far overpowered. Are they going to be in the update?
Spears, As of yet spears are the worst weapons (all fall short of sword and axe anyways), would it be possible that spears could get some kind of bonus when there are multiple attackers, esp. megabeasts. Is some kind of spear buff in the update?

Would it be possible to take all similar threads ex.) Mechanical Suggestions and put them all in one single grand thread which is stickied? I might do that today if it would get stickied.

Really? It is easy enough with high carbon tooling steel of the 21st century, imagine wooden or wrought iron/inferiour metal tools

That right there is the dwarfiest of things possible to say, other than http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=25967.0

DF Suggestions / Re: why can't dwarves make wooden weapons?
« on: September 23, 2009, 02:37:21 pm »
Training wouldn't be the only application of a wooden weapon like I mentioned in my similar suggestion, stone age style technology and weapons would be very cool, possibly even create a new layer of mythology to help seperate the DF dorf from the Tolkien dwarf

I suppose I am kind of new, but I don't think as new as you are thinking, I know how the forum works, but I have been smart in how I posted
I censored my writting on relflex/comedic value, it is generally more funny censored, or at least looks more proffessional.....I think

EDIT: Sorry, this was mentioned before and multiple topics can be found with a search for "tools" 
So with the exception of pick and battle axe do Dwarves completely disregard tools as girly and for humans only?
Serriously though....how do the dwarves do the work that they do without multitudes of sophisticated and complex tools? The requirement for tools would make metallurgy all the more important (bone/wood paleolithic tools?) and would diversify the various jobs in each workshop.
Tools could be a very important factor to quality....Legendary craftsdwarves using crappy tools would be stuck making -Stone Mug-, and dabbling dwarves using masterpeice tools will break them often.
As an added F*** you, the tools would randomly break and need to be repaired/replaced at the original workshop.
Discuss!
P.S. Why isn't there negative quality levels? Makes sense to me

Its not so bad when you are making several times what minimal wage is, which I figure Tarn is getting each year
