I saw it mentioned somewhere - on either the bay12 forums or elsewhere on this wiki - that if you strip a Hammerer of his hammer (mark it for dumping), he'll not pick up another one, and will 'hammer' people unarmed instead. Certainly this seems to be working for me so far; out of two prescribed 'hammerings' I've had one Carpenter come out with a bruised lower spine, and a Swordsdwarf come out unscathed (likely thanks to his chainmail). Not yet any skill in wrestling for the Hammerer either (not even dabbling). -- [[User:Raumkraut|Raumkraut]] 13:56, 7 April 2008 (EDT) | I saw it mentioned somewhere - on either the bay12 forums or elsewhere on this wiki - that if you strip a Hammerer of his hammer (mark it for dumping), he'll not pick up another one, and will 'hammer' people unarmed instead.

I'd like to give him a hammer (a weak one) for effort :) My point is that he'll help fighting.--[[User:Seaneat|Seaneat]] 18:18, 2 July 2008 (EDT) |

:Mostly. The default sentence for any offense is jail time. To be able to sentence your dwarf to jail time, you need to have a free guard to escort the offender to jail and you need a chain or cage to put them in. It's only if they try to put your dwarf into jail and fail that they get hammered. It's still possible to get more people arrested than you have restraints, unless you have a restraint for every dwarf. There was a case in one of my forts where my Mayor decided ''post facto'' that crowns could not be exported... right after I'd just put out a big shipment of them. I had 34 dwarves sentenced and only 15 (the recommended amount) restraints. The hammerer had a very bloody time of it... Kind of a shame that the mayor wasn't one of the offending haulers. | :Mostly.

:Also, as I think is noted somewhere above, if you have no guards and no restraints designated as a jail, the noble gets an unhappy thought for not being able to punish anyone (on top of unhappines over not having the mandate filled if that's the offense) but there's no jail time and no hammering because there was no failure to get the offender to jail. One side effect of this is that tantruming dwarves are not stopped as effectively. -[[User:Fuzzy|Fuzzy]] 09:04, 18 December 2008 (EST) | :Also, as I think is noted somewhere above, if you have no guards and no restraints designated as a jail, the noble gets an unhappy thought for not being able to punish anyone (on top of unhappines over not having the mandate filled if that's the offense) but there's no jail time and no hammering because there was no failure to get the offender to jail.

I've stumbled across a rather bizarre bit of trivia. I've recently modded the game so that dwarves no longer need booze to get through the working day. (My justification for this heinous act is that this is a "transdwarven" fortress, meaning that they've been modified somehow to be no longer true dwarves, but dwarven cyborgs. Please don't judge me.) So, no booze in the fortress, and the whole place is running like a well-oiled machine. Except for the Hammerer. The Hammerer still needs alcohol, and is starting to work more slowly. Apparently, there's something special about the Hammerer that makes them consistently want to drink booze? Or do I just have a defective hammerer (she's apparently "slow to anger" and "sincere" and "often nervous," and doesn't delight in slaughter. Now tell me that that's not non-hammerly)?

:A non-hammerly dwarf to go with your ABOMINATION of a fortress. Teetotaler dwarves?!?!?! Seriously though, I don't judge; mod the game any way you like, that's part of its beauty. ;) [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 04:12, 27 August 2009 (UTC) | :A non-hammerly dwarf to go with your ABOMINATION of a fortress.
