People here laying it on a little thick. The weapon is pretty sweet, but it's not supernatural or anything. It should be a masterwork adamantine weapon (Is it always a sword? I'm not sure). It's no different than any masterwork adamantine weapon your dwarves could make. That said, it's well worth the effort, especially if there's not too much candy on your map.
It may be "no better than any other masterwork adamantine sword", but personally, I don't often have masterwork adamantine swords just lying around. And, while I was being poetic when I said this

there is nothing that it cannot pierce and no one it cannot slay
it is true; no enemy has strong enough armor to consistently block strikes from an adamantine sword, and it being masterwork just makes it less vulnerable to lucky deflections.

I would very much like to be redorfed, but this time, could I be a weird old hermit named Halt who is in a burrow that includes the whole surface, but no underground, has his own little house with an assigned bedroom in it, and who gets all of his food from hunting? He would have to have only hunting and butchery enabled for labors, or else he would spam you with job cancellations. You could also make a separate burrow that includes only his house (or the planned archer tower) for him to run to during sieges. As long as there isn't anything too dangerous running around, and he has plenty of ammo, he could probably become a legendary marksdwarf in 2-3 years, which would be a great asset to the fortress. And, if you get another vampire or a werecreature, could he be bitten/forced to drink vampire blood? Thanks in advance.

Also, I made a xDrawingx of ShadowHammer's death.

Well, this is DF. You have expect to put in a little effort if you've come this far, especially if you want one of the best weapons in game.
Precisely. The weapon at the bottom is amazingly epic; there is nothing that it cannot pierce and no one it cannot slay. However, you have to have a fairly strong military to cut through the hordes of undead guarding it, and then you have to either deconstruct the building, or link it to a lever. You must claim this prize!

Well. I just got back from a summer camp, and I discover that I'm dead. Ah well, it was a good death. In Sparta, it would be worthy of a name on my gravestone. Also, for the new military organization, I agree with Spartan, because sparta is awesome. If you decide to make an elite squad, you should name them "Lokem's Lambdas" in memory of the recruit who killed the mace lord.

Legends mode, filter on string, type in dragons name, hit enter, scroll down to the last entry of things that the dragon did. Should say what he died from.

Well. Is it blaze of glory time yet? Or are we turtling?
And your right about brutal force composition. An elite bowman and crossbowman? That's just uncalled for. And what weapon does Atu use?
I'll be away for the next week, so I won't be able to give any more suggestions.

DF Community Games & Stories / Re: [Community] Nomekast - At War with Nothing

Yes! I finally caught up! It took me like two weeks to read up to this point, but I did it! This is an epic story, and I can finally stop lurking it. Can I be dorfed as...
Name: Shadowhammer
Gender: male
Race: dwarf
Story: has made his way through the caverns, all the way from some long forgotten realm to the east, sometimes descending into the 4th cavern level, and didn't even know about the Nothing until a couple days before he found Nomekast. He thinks that Nomekast's religion is nonsense, and follows a much older religion, which he doesn't talk about, and no one really asks about. He likes cavern creatures, having lived among them almost his whole life, so he would really like it if you could capture and tame some for him to keep as pets.
Profession: Hammerdwarf/ animal trainer

Your CPU was probably like, "Dwarven pathfinding has been killing me... Now I will kill them! Bwahahahaha!"

The lawgiver coming is quite awesome. They saw you as such a great that they had to send the leader of their civilization against you. Impressive. If you capture the Atu, if he comes again, an epic execution must be thought up for him.

Yeah! I am a captain! I shall lead my squad to glorious victory! Or perhaps glorious death. But no matter!

Just making sure, because this is a mistake I made when I first started playing, but did you assign the spears to everyone in the squad, or just the first dwarf?

I once had a fort where literally every dwarf had silver eyes. No idea why, but after I noticed it in a few guys, I went through virtually the whole population checking their pref screens, and all their eyes were silver. It was weird.

Of course it gets necro'd! Who would let something this awesome stay dead?

Also, I had hfs ruined for me before I even started playing, because I learned about df from a link on the minecraft wiki, which went to the df Wikipedia page, which has spoilers in it.

Durn you, Wikipedia!

My greatest success would be an encounter with a dragon where i had gotten a lucky stab at it's head, after it had forcibly removed both of my legs and my left arm.
'Tis merely a flesh wound!

If you want fleeing time, go with hunting dogs, as they can see the ambush coming from farther away.
