artifact weapons are pretty much magical. How else can they get 10 different images made from different materials on one tiny short sword while improving lethality?

I usually stick crappy goblin weapons in weapon traps, but I prefer to mix it up. I like to mix relatively weak weapons (silver spears, training axes) with horrifically lethal ones (steel discs, addy swords, silver whips) so that I can ensure that they die, but slowly.

thanks to [CHILD:1], I now have 30 dragons, which makes them an expendable resource. I've also learned that they are terrible weapons against sieges as they are too dangerous to be let loose and too useless against goblins.

on the other hand, they are completely lethal against forgotten beasts. fleshy one are easily melted via dragonfire and I have not met an inorganic beast that can withstand a substained blast. I suppose they can be a last resort against a potential invasion.

once movement and attack speeds become split though, hunters might become more viable since it'll be harder to catch up to wild animals with squads.

I dug a pit and built a constructed floor over the pit with a support underneath. then I linked a lever to the support and removed all the ramps.

Tame Helmet Snakes, if your Civ has domesticated them. Huge clutches of eggs, which will not hatch (no Child tag) and are only useful for cooking. The snakes are also aggressive and mildly poisonous, so they will help to defend you.

if you consider localized necrosis "mild", then yes.

seriously? it wasn't even made of mud or something similarly fragile.
