Like is a silver sword better than an iron sword? I looked on the wiki but it didn't really have anything about damage. --- End quote --- http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Weapon This portion of the wiki goes over the weapon types, what the attacks are, what superior crafting results in, what effect the material has on that, and what material of weapons are best against what material of armor for certain types of attack. There is a similar section on armor. The pages are for Fortress mode, but the stats are the same. Different sort of attacks can be used for different things. For example, if you find your sword slashes are being deflected by armor, you may wish to use a stab. However, if you want to experience the joy of cutting someone in half at the upper or lower body, a slash will do much better, and a slash from an axe is the best. I generally choose swordsman, as they have two edge and two blunt attacks that can be used for different situations, so I can be prepared for any situation. However, if you make it far enough, you might switch to an axe for slashing, a spear for stabbing, and a hammer for bashing. |

Quick question, how do you set orders for workshops now? --- End quote --- Do you have a manager? If you do just press j -> m -> q --- Quote from: Doomonkey on June 22, 2013, 11:05:30 AM --- --- End quote --- So if I'm understanding this right...I should not be using a silver sword... Okay time for my first real test. After vanquishing all evil from the region I was in, I swam across an ocean to a new continent. A lord there wants me to kill a swamp titan... |

Titans are usually easy. |

I found a masterful bronze shortsword so I switched them. |

It could be cool to have all of your weapons and armor to have their own name, it would also be very confusing. Okay, which one was the axe, TulipFairy or GlitterSparkles? |
