Warhammer. You need that shield, and the maul is worse at breaking bones than the regular one.

Mauls actually end up being worse weapons due to their significantly higher contact area.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

Yeah, gotta fiddle with the velocity and such to make a maul worth it.

I've seen this question on another thread and it's recommended to change the velocity modifier of the maul to around 10000 to make them practical.
