Welcome back my friends to the Third Dwarf Fortress Tournament! Last night, due to technical errors we only had three of the promised fights, with the fated lava lad vs Mr Worldwide matchup unhappily delayed. Nonetheless, we are pleased to announce that all issues have been resolved.

Tonight, five more fights shall take place, and five more unfortunate souls shall be placed in the dark limbo that precedes those awaiting the Battle Royale. But the five winners, the victorious champions shall proceed to the quarterfinals. Let us put aside any foolish grudges, any feeble argument, and all foolish grudges. Instead, let us revel together in the glorious, horrific bloodshed that is about to unfold.

Place your bets, gather your coin purses, and get fucking ready.

Let the games... Begin!

The fight commences, and immediately Lava Lad sprints over to the sunglasses-clad greenskin smouldering with determination. Mr Worldwide deftly sidesteps the punch, and jabs at the elemental man with a vicious cackle. A chunk of obsidian is torn loose and a small pool of boiling magma begins smoking on the floor. Although Lava Lad's semi-liquid form is now tilted awkwardly, it presses on, lunging forward! While the gauntlet manages to cause serious pain to Mr Worlwide's arm, it isn't enough to cause the goblin to relinquish his weapon. In fact, despite receiving another glancing punch to his foot, Mr Worldwide's eyes begin to burn with their own seething rage, and he screeches furiously! Redoubling in intensity, the fight devolves into a desperate war of attrition, as both fighters accrue terrible wounds. Mr Worldwide targets the boiling mass that is Lava Lad's legs, and manages to shear and twist his spear at the crust until he actually tears chunks off completely! Undeterred, the plucky elemental man presses on through the pain and delivers a flurry of blows at his smaller opponent. Despite the more serious injuries belonging to Lava Lad, our caped crusader lands a devastating strike on his enemy's leg! A sharp CRACK is heard, and Mr Worldwide collapses to the earth, shrieking in pain! Taking advantage of the goblin's momentary distraction, Lava Lad siezes his wrist, before slamming his elbow into the spearman's hip! Another violent CRACK is heard, and blood wells from the torn and ruined skin, as bone is clearly visible. This is too much for Mr Worldwide, who's jaw grows slack, his red eyes bulge and roll into their sockets. With his foe unconcious and crippled, Lava Lad drags himself up the prone figure, his smouldering body causing small fires to ignite upon the goblin's clothing. Bringing it's steel fists together, Lava Mad unleashes his final strike. As goblin brains are splattered over the arena, the crowd roars and cheers their fiery champion!

Congratulations Lava Lad, you have 249 points to spend on your upgrades for the next round! You have progressed to the quarter finals in a brilliant battle. Your unarmed exploits rival even those of Trihardin himself, and perhaps you may even have a chance to put your fists to the test against him, should you defeat your next foe. Mr Worldwide, do not despair yet. Your chance of procuring artefact pants is not lost just yet. Should you perform well in the Battle Royale, you may yet be free to walk from this place, perhaps not with glory, but with life.

Our next fight features Reg Cogul the dwarven Gladiatrix, against Gorilla with a Gun, who's name says it all.

Brash and bearded, this battle maiden has acquired a deadly yet beautiful platinum war hammer, who's dull shine brings a shudder to many who witness such a fearsome weapon. Casually carrying everywhere she goes, this dangerous woman has also clad herself in a full set of elf leather armour. From who she purchased it, or rather, wear, is a question best left unanswered.

In his spectacular victory against the naked dwarf Urist McNudist last round, Gorilla with a Gun has gained a wide following amongst the tourney goers. This not so gentle giant, reliant on his trusty crossbow, has merely been spending his time idly shooting at various targets and raiding the kitchens for whatever fruits and vegetables we have at the moment. Now, full of nutritious vitamins and minerals, and with a heartily improved aim, this gorilla is a very, very good shot.

Place your bets folks, this is bound to be an interesting fight indeed.

You need too many points to invest into shields and armor, and the dodger vs weapon skill calculation is extremely unforgiving.
Because of the way the tournament is set up, glass cannon is by far the best strategy.

>thinking that armor is a viable strategy when stabo has a lightsaber

People might spec more armor later in the tourney when their main weapons and skills are done. Also against Stabbo, armor is useless, so if he loses this round you might see more armor purchases.

Gorilla vs Gladiatrix.gif
2MB, 182x236px
>>182174818
As the horn blows, a copper bolt immediately goes flying! Faster than a speeding coconut, the bolt lodges itself right in the shocked Gladiatrix's hip! Toppling over and grimacing in pain, the burly dwarven warrior drags herself towards the hooting and clapping gorilla. As she is pelted by bolts, the hardy hammerwoman leaves a slick trail of blood in her wake. Finally, already bleeding fairly heavily, she aims her hammer at the Gorilla. Although the ape dodges about, he is still struck here and there by the hammer, although the already weakened state of the Gladiatrix prevents her from using all her strength. Her shield now resembles a pincushion, as broken shafts stick out from it in a splintered tattoo. Unfortunately for Reg, the blood spills more and more deeply from her wounds, and soon she drops her hammer and shield, unable to wield it as her shoulders, arms, chest are all pierced. Defenceless and without a leg to stand on, shock and pain take their toll, finally causing the Gladiatrix to fall unconscious. Gorilla with a Gun repeatedly pumps her full of bolts to the crowd's incessant cheering, but the dwarf's breathing remains, as thin and wheezing as it is. Finally, actually running out of bolts, Gorilla with a Gun (but no ammo) ambles over to the dwarf on death's door, and brutally smashes in her skull with the crossbow.

Well done Gorilla with a Gun! By landing that first, well placed bolt you have secured your place in the quarterfinals. You have 182 points to spend on your upgrades for the next round. Worry not, Reg, for if the last tourney was anything to go by, your chances in the Battle Royale are nothing to sneeze at!

Our next long awaited fight, we have Herne, the powerful and mighty elk-man against Stabo, the knife-wielding crab.

In a surprising turn of events, our unstoppable ungulate champion has set aside his bronze pike in favour of a bow! Perhaps in a bid to avoid getting close to the shimmering blue knife the calamitous crustacean wields, he has opted for a ranged approach. Will this strategy be the one to defeat the clawed menace, or will Herne's relative inexperience with such a weapon be his own undoing?

"While we were in the process of rounding up our gladiators for today's bloodbath, we came to the bucket in which Stabbo the Crabo had been placed, only to find Stabbo was no longer there.
What our staff found instead was something much, much more horrifying.
There was a moment of panic, every man for himself, the shaken witnesses screaming about "SUPER STABBO".
What fools we were to place the beast in an adamantine bucket! It has developed a taste for the stuff and now wields an adamantine knife, waving it with horrifying expertise at anyone who dares come near... the crab's cutting power is so great, one of our own men is said to have been cut just from a mean glare.
There was a second moment of panic when we realized /someone/ would have to lure that thing over to the arena. To cut a long story short, we present you with wicked satisfaction... SUPER STABBO!
A razor-sharp whirlwind of pure seething anger!"

The only comment we fished out of its bleeding manager said "he refuses all armor... he ain't scare".

Place your bets folks, for this will be one tremendous fight indeed, I can feel it in my bones.
>>
I wonder who will have to fight the gorilla in the next round!

>>182178181
While the crowd loudly cheers, screams, jeers and whoops, visibly divided about their choice of champion, Herne calmly eyes the little knife-demon on the other side of the arena. His deep, dark gaze trained on the shimmering azure blade. Stabo, on his own side, trains his beady little stalks at his towering foe, staring malignantly. The fight begins, and immediately Herne brings his bow up, raising it and firing loose an arrow. As the crab scuttles forward as fast as it's little limbs can carry it, arrows rain about it in a constant deadly shower. The little crustacean, despite the heavy load of it's knife, expertly dodges the arrows, which clatter about it in a shower of sparks. The crowd's screams intensify as the crab approaches, and a bead of sweat forms around Herne's brow, as the knife steadily comes closer. Batting an arrow straight out of the air with his knife, murder blazes in the eyes of our tiniest gladiator. Just when things are getting beyond desperate for the elk, the crab barely an arms reach away, one of it's legs is caught by an arrow! With his enemy faltering momentarily, Herne piles on the damage, pelting the now seriously wounded crab with a barrage of arrows.

Finally, inevitably, a copper arrow lands true. Piercing Stabo's brain, the little body shudders and twitches for a moment, before falling still. The adamantine knife, unused, tumbles away. The brilliant blue glints faintly in the pale light, to a deafening silence from the spectators.

I'm glad it's over. This is the best outcome for the health of the tourney, the memes were going too far. Thanks for all the amazing fanart though.

man, the crab winning would have been way more fun

>>
>>182179270
I figure the gif speaks for itself, but I was asked to explain my reasoning, so I will. It pretty much comes down to this line from the crab RAWs:

[APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:STANDARD_WALKING_GAITS:9000:8900:8825:8775:9500:9900] 1 kph

Stabo's greatest weakness was his speed. He was fairly dangerous to engage in melee, so better to shoot him from afar. Even arrows that don't land accomplish a purpose; they make him dodge backwards and tire him out to boot. It was only a matter of time before the crab couldn't defend himself any longer.

I chose a few levels of biter in case the crab came to battle completely covered in adamantine.

Well done Herne, your strategy payed off! You have a hugely respectable 348 points to spend on your upgrades for the next round. The battered shell of our crabby gladiator is gently gathered together, and placed in the catacombs to await the Battle Royale. While many of the crowd reviled your name for the killing of Wilbo, know that you have many fans cheering you on in the Battle Royale.

For the final fight of the second round, we have Steve the Wageslave against Ulric, human knight.

This curious fighter has picked a fight in our arena in the hopes of impressing his queen and possibly with the desire to fulfill various acts of degenerate copulation with her in the process. In his last fight, the twitchy insect already managed to take down a human, but will his luck (or lust for feet) be able to carry him further? We shall see.

Ulric is a steadfast warrior, who unfortunately had a disappointing fight in his last round. Noenetheless, he has refused to allow his easy victory to make him slacken his training regime, and has gained a great deal of skill in the way of the sword, to complement his solid armour and rigid disciplined knight training. Already a favoured fighter, many have already expressed their admiration for this warrior

Place your bets folks, for the final fight of tonight is about to begin.

Good call. I realized I could just buy 2 adamantine cloaks and become nigh-unkillable, but I thought that'd make for a supremely shitty tournament in general.
Again props to you, good luck in the rest of the tourney.

I am trying to make a bonermancer and I need help. His abilities is that he summons bones.

Right now I figured out how to make him summon steel but obviously I don't want that. How do I alter this line so he shoots bones at people? I've already got everything else figured out I just need the actual material to work.

Yeah, we were just pretty much memeing because...well, that's all we could do. We just caught up in the hype, and we were only able to escape it thanks to Herne.

Stabo will go down in history as probably the most community-dividing champion to date.

I was laughing my ass off at the crazy backstory you people were giving a goddamn featureless crab. I also loved the fanart you guys posted.
But I started feeling bad when the rest of the gladiators were getting no attention and almost no fanart.
>>182180812
Stabo WAS actually my second gladiator, I submitted him as a joke, like, wilbo-tier joke. I didn't expect to get past the first fight. My REAL gladiator did die on the first fight. Oh well. Great tournament either way.

Well, it was probably the only efficient strategy against the Candy Crab, but this seems too cheesy and meta to me. At least I wouldn't do this.
That being said, Crabo can still kill Herne from the grave, as you now have to unfuck your multiclassed gladiator.

On the bright side, he has a huge surplus of points to do so with. And his opponent is really good at taking down smaller unarmored opponents, but possibly not as much bigger ones and DEFINITELY not armored ones

The battle royale is when all of the gladiators get deposited in a single arena and do battle until only one remains.

Crabbo has a good shot because he is so slow that he will not move into combat until everyone is dead.

It was from the E3 intro for the PS3. They were showing, I think it was, "Genji: Days of the Blade" a samurai game brought over from Japan. The guys starts off talking about how "historically accurate" the game is, and then all of a sudden it's all "Here comes a giant enemy crab! Strike its weak point for massive damage!"

It was easily one of the most WTF moments I've ever had. But you know, Japan.

The horn blows, and immediately Ulric rushes over to his diminutive foe, sword at the ready. Barely has he raised his blade to bring it down however, and a whistling steel pick strikes deeply at his sternum! Plunging straight through the inferior metal, the steel lodges deep. Turning a ghastly pale, the human sags and immediately is brought to his knees! In a stunning turn of events, Steve moves in a blurring steel whirlwind, hacking pieces off of the knight with his pickaxe at every turn! Possessed by the unquenchable desire to please his queen, the brave little ant rapidly dismembers Ulric, removing arms, feet, legs, even teeth! It isn't long before Ulric collapses, as lifeless as a doll with it's strings cut. Now the sole survivor, Steve basks in the glory of his triumph, absolutely covered in blood. Bolstered by the joyful chitternings of his fellow ant workers present in the arena, the ant-man raises his deadly weapon, over his head, brimming with pride.

Congratulations Steve, you have made it to the quarterfinals on the back of your trusty pickaxe! You have 283 points to spend on your upgrades for the next round. Ulric's body has been moved to the catacombs to await his reincarnation in the battle royale, where he may yet survive thanks to all that armour.

Due to an error in scheduling, Dorf the Dwarf vs Hercule Poirot was delayed, but shall occur right away. Please bear with us as we set up the necessary arrangements.

Dorf, being a fairly regular dwarf, is consumed by a hatred of elves, a fondness for spirits, and a fairly vivacious sense of military might. Already proving he is no slouch on the battlefield, this warrior is simple, yet strong.

Hercule has gained fame and admiration following his brutal victory over the last opponent, battering his foe's head in with nothing but an oaken mace! Now, having upgraded to a bronze mace, surely nothing can stand in his way!

Place your bets folks, this is the really real last of tonight's fights.

Seeing that Heracles was winning the struggle, Hera sent a giant crab to distract him. He crushed it under his mighty foot. The Hydra's one immortal head was cut off with a golden sword given to Heracles by Athena. Heracles placed the head—still alive and writhing—under a great rock on the sacred way between Lerna and Elaius,[8] and dipped his arrows in the Hydra's poisonous blood. Thus his second task was complete.

Crab already is dead, as the oracle fortells it is time for Hercules to complete his second challenge.

The horn blows, and the two warriors clash in a ring of bronze against iron! Trading blows, the fighters appear evenly matched for a while, as both gain a smattering of minor scrapes and bruises. On his end, Dorf is protected by his near full set of iron armour, while Hercule is garbed only in his lion cloak. And yet, perhaps there is something about that cloak, for it appears to be protecting him quite well. The tension rises, as neither fighter can gain the upper hand until- Yes! Hercule has managed to disarm Dorf! Expertly spinning his mace, Hercule shatters Dorf's sword hand and sends the iron blade spinning out of reach! Emboldened, Hercule advances upon his snarling enemy. Although Dorf fights back with his shield, it is clear such a clumsy defensive tool is no match for the glinting bronze of our statuesque warrior, and he is struck again and again. The dwarven warrior loses ground, battered this way and that even through his armour until, in a blinding flash of bronze, his foot is caught! A creak of metal and a small spray of blood, and Dorf falls, unable to remain standing on his crushed and shattered bones. Roaring in pain, Dorf is struck once more in the same spot, right in the bloodied ruin of his foot! This is too much for our beaded brawler to withstand, and he collapses in a pale heap. Now begins the same scene as the last round, where Hercule, now screaming and whooping in a fit of madness, pounds his mace again and again into the dwarf's helmeted head! Although blood is leaking out in rivulets, it takes a long time before Hercule manners to shatter his opponents helm. Finally, his skull exposed and brains clinging to the bronze mace, Dorf's life fades away to nothing. Raising his mace and in the process smearing himself with dwarven bodily fluids, Hercule bathes in the crowd's adulation, certain in his dominance.

I ask because I find it a bit strange, Ulric gets his left hand chopped off and then the muscle of his right lower arm gets torn apart, and yet there aren't any messages about him dropping his weapon.

If you look at the second page in the combat log here >>182178181 you can see a message about the gladiatrix losing hold of her platinum war hammer when a bolt hits her right lower arm and tears apart the muscle, but there isn't anything like that in the Ulric vs Steve combat log.

Well done Hercule! You have proved that you are indisputably valiant, virtuous, and innocent of that crime you are accused of, which I'll not name right now. You have 224.5 points to spend on your upgrades for the next round. Rest easy dorf, you'll rejoin your dwarven brethren in the Battle Royale, where you may once more fight for your life!

This concludes our second round of the tourney. Our eight remaining champions shall meet once more in the quarterfinals, where their number will once more be halved. But that is for next time! For now, let us gather any missing limbs, mop up any spilt blood, and ready the arena for our next round.

The manager's of the tourney would also like to issue an official apology to any arena-goers who witnessed the unfortunate blip in the system earlier on. The offending statsman has been executed post-haste, and his bones turned into dog whistles and chopsticks. Rest assured that nothing of the sort will happen again, yet once more we apologise.

Now, thank you all for coming to tonight's set of deadly duels. I wish you all a pleasant week, and eagerly await our next set of battles. Good night!

Yes, armor is nothing like it used to be. Steel used to render you nearly immune to anything not adamantine, a whip, a hammer, or a crossbow bolt. Now, some fuck with a wooden sword could bend your neck and drop you in one shot. Not that I think that is bad, it's just something to keep in mind.

Also, GCS used to be unable to hurt anyone with a copper helmet. Now they pretty much instakill dorfs in steel armor.

Hasn't been true since 34.11, and wasn't really true then either, silver was better. Adamantine ammo is best now, as it always was supposed to be, and other materials rank the same as they do for other edged weapons. The only time soft metals like copper and silver are any good for ammo is against unarmored opponents.

The problem is that even if bites are deflected, the creatures stll latch on, and then theycan shake around the victim. And I'm not sure if this is the way Toady wants it to work.

>>
>>182218017
I don't have anything against the crab. It's your average goofy arena character. Fun to see him win against an even weaker opponent, but of course he's gonna die once he encounters a serious gladiator.

What I hate is all the irregulars posting about "le epic stabby crabby" 24/7. It's exactly like in bay12. It's brainless, because the entire point is to come up with new ways of saying "craby/staby is strong/random", over and over again for all of eternity.

In this regard, the previous tourneys were much more bearable. We had the guy trying to force the kea memes, but he doesn't come close to the craby-staby cancer of this tourney.
>>
>>182218519
Maybe it'll be implemented in the future? Or Toady decided the dwarves don't care about how the cut is, just the type of gem and how it looks on an object.
>>
>>182218962
Basically I'm saying it should be the other way around. Cutting a gem should give it a quality modifier, and that quality modifier should be used when encrusting (which should only take time, not affect the quality).
>>
>>182218962
The quality can be assumed to be representative of the quality of the cut, so Dwarves do care about the cut.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

>>182219168
You mean how the value goes up after? It could be cleaning and cutting the gem in a standardized way that all dwarves like, so it doesn't have rock leftover on it and such that makes the value go up.

Honestly the idea isn't bad, but musical instruments are just too small/unimportant for it I feel. Things like drawbridges I would totally be down with needing multiple parts which would need assembly. You want a very useful and complex object? Then it takes more time/hassle.

cut gems look ugly as fuck.

the fascinating thing about minerals is the huge diversity of shapes they exhibit in their natural form. why would you ruin that by cutting them in some generic, one-size-fits-all shape?
>>
>>182224416

>28,000 historical figures
>26,000 dead

Wow, what the hell happened? Check legends mode and let us know.
>>
>>182224617
Well I mean isn't that par for the course when you factor in stuff like old age and whatnot?
>>
>>182224589
Because their natural forms are either interesting yet pretty dull, or amazing yet fragile/otherwise unsuitable for jewelry or anything other than a shelf.
Likewise, those shapes are generic for a reason. They're calculated pretty thoroughly to have them refract light on optimal patterns to make them prettier to look at. I mean yeah a geode is fun but if you take one bit off, the cut is pretty shit.

>>182224617
>800 years
dead people in the world vastly outnumber living people. what else is new?
>>

Wait, I thought it meant 26,000 dead out of 28,000 total historical figures -- hence the Twilight Age, because there are only 2,000 historical figures still left alive in the entire world.
>>
>>182224825
but the cut gems just look like pieces of glass or plastic. I mean, what's the reason to buy expensive as fuck diamond jewelry, when 99% of all people will be unable to tell it apart from rock crystal, anyway?

also, I'm sure there are ways to treat uncut minerals that make them sturdy enough to use as jewelry.
>>
>>182224998
Well yes, that's correct. But the thing is that is the total amount of dead hist figs over 800 years, so its no big deal.
>>
>>182225091

That still seems high. ~93% of all historical figures dead in just 800 years?

at least the natural form makes it look different from plastic or glass.

pic related is supposedly ruby (that's what I googled), but for all I know, it might just be some kiddie toy with a piece of plastic in it.
>>
>>182225321

Yes, but you see that's less than 10 generations for dwarves, and less than 1 for elves.
With humans you'd expect to see about 90-92% gone provided you had a roughly flat population growth, dwarves should be less than 90% and elves less than that.

All of them are above the expected death rate even given a flat population growth curve, which should NOT be the case. The civs should be spreading and growing, increasing the number of historical figures, instead in his world they're dying off.
>>
>>182225303
>>182225480
Not everyone values things based on what they're able to discern. Some people just like things more KNOWING (or at least being told by someone who claims to be an expert) that it is actually a diamond.
>>
>>182225506

Oh that's leaving out goblin hist figs who have no natural cause of death at all. Kobolds will drag things in the other direction, but they don't get a lot of space in histories, and tend to die off quickly in most of the world I generate, leaving little more than a small blip of a few dozen figures who came and went, drowned in a sea of humans and elves and dwarves and goblins.

I don't "get" taverns or temples.
Like, there's a bunch of considerations for making an efficient hospital. But how the fuck do you design a tavern? What even affects the way your dorfs do their socializing things?
How does a dance floor even work?
What neat things can you DO with taverns?
>>
>>182226604
you have seen how the dances look, haven't you?

many of them require a large open space, so obviously you'll want that for your dance floor. apart from that, it's mostly a matter of aesthetics and individual taste.
>>
>>182226604
Quit looking at it like a hospital, it's not nearly so complicated. It's basically just a standard dining/meeting hall with chairs and tables and stuff, with a chest here or there so they can store goblets and musical instruments. Dance floor is the biggest square area that doesn't have any furniture in it they can find in the tavern, they dance there. The schtick with taverns is basically attracting non-dwarf visitors, performers, musicians, long-term residents and even permanent citizenships.

I'm trying to wrap my head over how to make a tavern that looks designed with a purpose.
What if you made a dancing floor with traffic restrictions so they only use it for performances, would that work?
Also, tavern keep? I tried to make a barman type of deal with a long row of tables and the drinks behind the bar, with only the barman serving them or something. Went as good as >>182226923
>>
>>182227164
Again you are attempting to micro manage this way way too much. You don't need any fucking traffic designations just leave a big open square without any furniture in it, they don't care about other people getting in the way. And a tavern keeper is as simple as having goblets and drinks somewhere in the tavern, and tell someone to be a tavern keeper. They go around and give people drinks.

>>182227685
literally just make a tavern where the dance floor is separate from the dining area (assign the dance floor by designating a meeting area and assigning it to the tavern, assign the dining area by making a room from a table and then assigning it to said tavern). to make them feel more like one tavern, you can have a window or canopy or something that lets dining guests overlook the dance floor.

I also don't get what you mean by "ant colony in disarray". to me, it's very clear when people are dancing. they almost always form large formations and patterns when they do so.

>>182218519
I pretty much agree with everything in this post except for one thing: I'm pretty sure that gem cutter skill determines the quality of the rare (or semi-uncommon in the case of glass) gem crafts that are sometimes produced by gem cutting instead of cut gems.
Also, thanks for that picture, I tried once to find something like that to help me imagine what DF was describing but couldn't find much. Where's it from?

>>182225030
>>182225480
One thing you might be forgetting is that until fairly recently, the easiest way to tell cut gems apart from plastic was by its existence and from glass by its not looking like shit. Glass actually was considered a gemstone by the Egyptians, and medieval stained glass was very expensive stuff that was produced by very skilled artisans, often using secret techniques. So until around the 19th-20th century, you could pretty much tell that a gemstone was genuine just by seeing that it looked pretty, which is a large part of why people valued them.

Start as a human and try to spawn in a town or big hamlet. It'll be easier to get armor and clothes.
Also invest a little bit in the Reader and Swimmer skills.

I usually assign specialists for important labors like masonry or weaponsmithing. They have all other labors disabled, so they can focus solely on one task. If they have too much free time, they may have hauling enabled.
The rest of dorfs serves as haulers and does no quality, low frequency jobs like butchering, gelding or lye making. They are also military candidates. The military is purely professional, but civilians also start receiving some seasonal training once they start having too much time to spare.
Also once the fortress is finally dug out and initial insane demand for miners decreases, I naturally end up with ~5 legendary miners and shitloads of stone to smooth, so my miners part-time as engravers, smoothing the rooms they just dug out.

Low frequency as in "no need to do it 24/7", not "once per year".

I agree, there's no reason to put more points in it. I was just responding to this:

he man will destroy larva lad and move on to trihardin and then move on to hercules and then win

I actually think Urist is a serious underdog. As much as I love Trihardin, Urist is ridiculously violent and can basically incapacitate with one good hit.

It'll be Trihardin v. Gorilla in the finals.

I got interested in the effectiveness of axes after checking the tourney doc and seeing that the axeman skill is the most expensive weapon skill along with lasher, so I made a couple of tests, one where I made humans with short swords fight humans with battle axes, and another where I made humans with short swords and humans with battle axes against large creatures (trolls, yetis and saltwater crocodile men) and then compared the results.

Here are the full results of the first test: https://pastebin.com/hRxvJjsC
And here the ones of the second one: https://pastebin.com/d4QAqZaJ

Now I'll post the observations of the first and second tests

First test: Looking at the first three sets, it doesn't seem like any of the weapons have an advantage, this makes sense, any hit can be a lethal/disabling hit in a fight without armor, the choice of weapon doesn't really matter much. As for the other three sets, well, in set 4 and 5 the results are similar, both weapons perform equally, doesn't seem like one of them has an advantage, but then, looking at set 6, I'm not so sure, in that set the humans with the battle axes won the first two times the test it was repeated, at first I thought this meant that axes do have an advantage when used by someone with very high weapon skill, but the third time it was repeated, the humans with the short swords won, a very close victory, but a victory nonetheless. Now I'm not sure if to say that short swords and axes are equal or that axes have a certain advantage in fights where both opponents are highly skilled and wearing armor. Well, I think next I should test these weapons against larger creatures and compare their performances to see if one is better than the others.

Second test: Well, looking at the first set, I'd say the performance of both weapons is equal, the humans with the short swords won two time while the humans with the battle axes won only one time, but those two victories were quite close, so yes, to me it seems like they're pretty equal. In the second set the humans with the short swords won two times and had on draw, while the humans with the battle axes won every time, and more of them survived compared to the humans with short swords, this might mean that the human with battle axes had a slight advantage over the humans with short swords. Now, in the third set, the humans with short swords won three times while the humans with battle axes won two times, and this is a bit weird to me, since the humans with battle axes showed signs of having a slight advantage over the humans with the short swords, while in this set it was reversed, the humans with the short sword show signs that they might have a slight advantage over the humans with the battle axes. This makes me think that the reason why each group did better is pure luck, and neither of them has an advantage over the other.

There's also a test I scrapped which I made when I was deciding which equipment should the trolls have in the second test, at first I made them use iron armor, but later I removed it. But when I tested the weapons against those trolls wearing iron armor, I got some interesting results, they are here if you want to check them: https://pastebin.com/MsnLiwyG

I'll post the observations in the next post.

>>182277634
Observations: These are some weird results, the humans with the short swords did much better than the human with battle axes, and I'm not completely sure about the reason, but I think it has something to do with the stab attack of the sword. When I looked at the combat logs, I saw that most attacks from the humans with the battle axe were getting deflected, this was strange at first because the trolls were wearing iron armor, but the weapons of the humans were made of steel, and I've seen steel weapons cut through armor very easily in other tests, but then I remembered that armor and clothing scales according to size of the creature, so the armor that the trolls were wearing was probably so thick that the steel axes couldn't get through them completely, the armor still got damaged when hit, so I think this is correct, not all the attacks were deflected, some did manage to go through the armor and sometimes the humans even manage to cut entire limbs, but it was very uncommon. The same thing happened with the humans using short swords, most of their attacks were getting deflected, with one exception, the stabs, stabs always seemed to get through armor and cause heavy damage, even managing to cut limbs off entirely, slash attacks from the swords were often deflected, but stabs never were, and this is why I think the humans with the short swords did better that the ones using axes, the axe only has one attack (without counting hitting with the flat of the blade, which is really ineffective), hack, which is a slashing attack, while the sword has two attack, slash and stab, slash is a slashing type of attack, while stab is a piercing type of attack, which seems to be much more effective against armor.

Well that's it, I also plan on redoing both tests but with halberds and great axes instead.
