v0.31:Weapon
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Weapons are used by military dwarves and certain other humanoids in Template:L.
Template:L, Template:L and Template:L also use weapons for their Template:L and if need be will also Template:L using them. Hunters seem to be limited to Template:L while miners and woodcutters use Template:L and Template:L respectively.
If you find your dwarves wearing more than one weapon - or any unwanted Template:L, for that matter - one way to get rid of them is to dump the weapon from their v-i screen. This does not work always, they may re-equip. Another option is to remove any weapons and shields listed on their military equip screen. This too does not work always. At least "left-handedness" seems to not pose a problem.
Using weapons is much more effective than unarmed combat- an untrained swordsdwarf with an Template:L weapon can defeat a grand master Template:L, provided he wears no armor.
There are many different types of weapons;
