v0.31 Talk:Hammerman

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I read somewhere about people considering the silver war hammer the "best weapon in the game" excluding arena-specific things like the slade warhammer and gold warhammer. I lack the specific source, though; does someone else have it? Fishsicles 22:39, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

I think you're thinking about the v0.31:Weapon#Arena Testing section. Keep in mind that "best weapon in the game" is VERY situational; that section itself says "unarmored steel axe" versus "unarmored silver war hammer" is likely a win for the axe. It also says that "6 silver war hammer" versus "bronze colossus" is certainly a win for the colossus. So I deleted that line, and cleaned up some of the rest. --DeMatt 22:59, 23 October 2010 (UTC)


Deletion[edit]

Does anyone else think this page should be deleted? It's the only combat skill with it's own page. Searching for other combat skills (ex maceman spearman, swordsman etc) all link to the Combat skill page. Either every skill needs it's own page (might be the better avenue considering the diversity of weapons) or this article should be deleted and redirected to aforementioned Combat Skill page. --IT 000 04:04, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Delete it, I say. The content can be merged into Combat skill. Trying to understand the pros and cons of the various weapon skills across 13 pages would be horrible - far better to keep it all consolidated in one place. Bognor 08:57, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
I just came to the page from Google and it had the exact info I was looking for - effectiveness of silver war hammers. So, don't just delete it. -- Anonymous coward, 25 October 2011.
As long as the content is merged with the Combat Skill page, a Google search will get you there. I agree that this should be deleted.--Zander j 23:01, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
