Same way you fight other things. Hit them and don't get hit by them.

>>169036662
The best way to fight beak dogs (or any other animals) is to hit them with weapons until they die.
If you managed to get killed by one, you probably don't have very good equipment, or have low defensive skills.

Annie's manager here.

Gotta say, this is a puzzle. I had an obvious answer to Brunhilda, but figuring out a good answer to Efeye's build has me a little stumped. The answer to Ecstasy was to outskill him, but despite the pretty significant point difference between Annie and Efeye I don't think I can match her(he) in skill.

Just wanted to you let you know, I'm having a lot of fun puzzling this out.

I took off my armor so I could be sneaky, did I fuck up?

>>169038939
Wearing armor doesn't make you less sneaky as far as I know, but it wouldn't have made a difference. Joint damage has pretty much obsoleted armor. Especially when fighting a larger opponent.

I mean it still blocks edged damage pretty well right. IMO wear a helmet, breastplate, and gauntlets at least. Especially against animals (like beak dogs) that don't have weapons and bite alot armor can be useful.

>>169039681
Force translation doesn't care if the originating attack was edged or blunt. Any attack that hits limbs or head is likely to result in debilitating damage to the nearest joint whether it did any damage initially or not, unless the thing that hit you was considerably smaller.

Was just a suggestion. I actually have very little knowledge on how combat mechanics work in DF so i might just be spewing a whole lot a bullshit but it seems logic that if you can't outskill her(him) this time then the next best thing is to win through attrition and being naked probably isn't going to help you do that if you get shanked.

Anyway. I'm rooting for you. Don't let Annie's tournament arc end in tragedy so we can move on to the inevitable beach filler arc.

>>169042093
armor is basically useless with the game mechanics how they currently are.
you might deflect a blade, but you'll take joint damage that will basically disable you.

>>169042280
armor still can be useful, especially in regular sized humanoid duels with normal strength stats. joint damage is pretty brutal, but it's still better than catching blades with your squishy guts.

>>169042345
If you want your fort to last you should start looking at a reduced embark and population.

Try to injure at least injure two legs to make it slower. Dragons in DF don't fly so if you manage to cripple it you're good to go. Don't lower your shield, and as >>169043482

>>169042280
Yeah that's completely wrong, if it's enough of a hit to do joint damage it would fuck that limb up WAY more and still do joint damage.

>>169042497
Hrm.

>>169045170
It doesn't matter how much more the limb is fucked up. Joint damage to any joint from shoulder wrist will make you drop what the hand is holding. Joint damage to any joint from hip to ankle will make you fall down. The only time that's not the case is in that narrow range of force where the tendon/ligament is bruised rather than torn. A limb hit in that range isn't going to debilitate the limb anyway even if it's uncovered.

'bout what

>>169046747
Maybe you failed to block it.

>>169046747
Also attacking with your shield, you might have still been recovering with your shield and thus been unable to block. Should have tried with the dagger or whip instead IMO.

>>169047203
never gave me a chance

I picked my attack and got the "you are deceased"

>>169047330

o dang, I didn't even see that, I usually have my whip as my first item, that kinda fucked up my surprise attack

Couldn't you recreate the mines of moria?

>>169045990
Force translation doesn't always equal "you're crippled on that side" though, but if you don't have armor on you get to encounter a whole lot more "and the severed part sails off in an arc" and hits which don't cut it off will still do joint damage.

With armor you're much harder to delimb, can get "but the attack glances away", can get "but the attack is deflected by the armor", and the armor itself is going to soak up some of the momentum even when it doesn't directly prevent all damage, which means: yep, less joint damage.

>>169046019
Oh, I didn't expect you to sit, I figured I'd have to shoot you so I just worked out what to do with the body... huh... this is kinda awkward.

>>169047330
Yeah, I think bashing with the shield prevents the autoblock option.

so are invasions still unlikely? what was the fix that made it so that invasions and sieges happen a shitload more often? Just change the pop cap of goblin civs/sites or what?

>>169052639
>so are invasions still unlikely? what was the fix that made it so that invasions and sieges happen a shitload more often? Just change the pop cap of goblin civs/sites or what?
invasions work as they should now, taking time for the armies to actually travel to your fort.

>has the game gotten any harder in the past year?
The game? no, but force now transfers through armor somewhat, meaning you can now take damage even through full adamantine. applies to everyone though, so combat is just more deadly overal.

>>169052620
how would one kill them then? arrows and sneak attacks?

>>169052639
I often get "sieges" which are a dozen goblins getting into the map and then leaving without doing anything, I still haven't figure what that's all about.

Other than that I get sieges quite frequently.

>>169052837
Well, candy blocks damage much better, attacks with crappy enough weapons vs superior material can just get deflected a lot, heavier armor helps soak up momentum though, and the stuff that doesn't get deflected/soaked can get passed up the limb to a joint and do damage, plus the armor can get damaged unless it is artifact quality.

how do I mod dragons to fly? do I need to give them wings?

>>169054951
>rewarding the bourgoisie at the expense of the proletariat
It's like you want Grandpa Marx to rise from the grave, spread his glorious beard like a pair of wings and fly over there to lay the smack down about how the actual socialist revolution was supposed to take place over a timescale of centuries and include a point where technology advances enough to automate most forms of labor in order to free the individual to pursue a life of study and contemplation or craft and construction for it's own sake, rather than at the whims of some capitalist society.

>>169056101
[FLIER] is sufficient, adding wings just allows things to lose the ability to fly via damaging them.

>>169056297
Derp, forgot that you need to give them flying gaits, copy over the lines from any flying creature and paste them above the walking gaits.

I mean I'm a goblin civ so I figure its the sort of thing they'd do. I mean sure they cooouuuld smooth out the rest of the fort, but then that would remove a factor by which they could compare themselves favorably to their worse-off peers. The nobilityy deliberately keep the rest of the fort in shoddy condition to make their own smooth and opulent rooms look that much more extravagant.

>>169054951

Needs more verticality/interconnection. Someone in the far back of those sleeping galleries probably needs to walk close to a full ingame day to get to the forges.

>>169057164
I'll add another entrance near the western civ district then.

Maybe that's why they send such large sieges, and so often. They just need to get rid of the riff-raff.

>>169058961
Yeah I found that after posting that. Still, it's only a single mention and the only indication that anyone who updates the wiki is even aware it exists. It's not even that new of a feature, is it? Seems odd that that's the sole mention.

>>169059410
Parrying is pretty poorly understood, not enough research to really post up there on exactly what the rates are, what the priority of autoparry/block/dodge is, and so forth.

Is FPS death due mostly to NPC pathing or an abundance of items on the map? If its the latter, could I avoid it by just selling a ton of shit?

Just started learning how to play this game. Finally just got around to military. We all have iron weapons. We've got plump helmets going with beds for everyone.

But one thing I'm really struggling with is keep track of all of my dworfs and what they're doing. My military just killed some goblin thing and I couldn't keep track of the fight at all. Also, if a dwarf is hurt how do you heal them? Do they get medical assistance with some sort of labor? Also if a dworf is doing a job that I don't want them to do is there a way to prioritize what I want them to do?

>>169050245
I think you may be failing to block "all" of the dragonfire. Maybe being in the cave deflects/funnels multiple dragonfire to you? Testing in open space in arena mode I got "You block the dragonfire" multiple times in a row after one firebreath.

>>169073609
>But one thing I'm really struggling with is keep track of all of my dworfs and what they're doing. My military just killed some goblin thing and I couldn't keep track of the fight at all.
Pause a lot. Don't forget you can view combat logs with [r], and advance time by 1 tick with [,] (or was it [.]? one of the two). But yeah, thats one of the flaws of fortress mode. Not being able to control the speed you see fights at in any intuitive way beyond bashing that manual advance button.
> Also, if a dwarf is hurt how do you heal them? Do they get medical assistance with some sort of labor?
You can designate a zone to be a hospital just as you would designate any other zone. You'll need to slap a few beds in there, a table or two, a traction bench (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Health_care) and a container to hold the medical supplies in. Once you have a hospital all injured dwarves will flop onto the floor like they were born to play soccer and wait for someone to come whisk them away to the hospital, where they'll wait until someone with the appropriate medical labors enabled fixes them up. You can enable all the medical labors on any dwarf you want, skill level only increases the speed at which they fix your dwarves, not the effectiveness.
>Also if a dworf is doing a job that I don't want them to do is there a way to prioritize what I want them to do?
You can just suspend the job in the units menu, or the [j]obs menu. This overrides everything else until you unsuspend the job.

can i fuckin post yet

>>169073609
>one thing I'm really struggling with is keep track of all of my dworfs and what they're doing
Pause the game and press [u] to check what everyone's doing. Don't forget to set [H]otkeys to zoom to important areas. Eventually as the population rises you do sort of lose track of individual dwarves but that's fine as long as people are doing what you want them to do generally. In a fight you can pause and press [,] (1 tick) or [.] (10 ticks) to advance time slowly bit by bit and then check the combat logs periodically.

>if a dwarf is hurt how do you heal them?
make a hospital zone ([i] for zones) containing at least bed(s). You may also need traction benches. And yes they require certain labors (under Healthcare in the labor screen).

>is there a way to prioritize what I want them to do?
You can disable that labor on the dwarf, you can change the priority of jobs on workshops, and you can press [n] at a workshop for "Do task now!" which makes them prioritize it more heavily.

Yeah, 'struth.

I think weapon skill is by far the most important stat. Seeing as they can parry as well as attack.

Problem is I'd have to sell everything I had to (probably) match Efeye, so I'd still be at a disadvantage in terms of equipment.

I figured I should just go for what might be most useful against a knife user: protecting the fight-ending vitals. a gladiator can still win a fight with a split open throat, but if they lose their ability to stand or hold a weapon they're a goner.

It's not like you'd actually be able to tell what's behind all those clothes
My theory is that desert elves are rivals to forest elves, and seeing Annie Mae as a menace, they kidnapped and brainwashed her brother into killing Annie Mae, but thought him to be a she because they didn't even know him. I mean, how do you confuse a baby's gender at birth throughout childhood, diaper after diaper? You just gotta check whether there's something hanging or a little hole. It'd make sense for the kidnapers not to bother checking that
Also, I expect all of this to be 100% wrong

>>169095160
i've been thinking of it more that he was never captured at all, he just ran away to live out his dream of being a high-class assassin. then, when he caught wind of annie mae coming to "rescue" him, he assumed the worst: that she had come to slay him. thus, the entering the tournament to kill her.

that leaves plenty of room for a classic anime villain redemption ending, doesn't it?

>>169094803
My first 40.x companion had some weird ass vendetta against any humans we'd come across, possibly killed a dwarf that was travelling home and was hell bent on avenging me after a pack of trans pandamen licked me. I became a bat after that.

Well folks, today marks the last day of the Dwarf Fortress Gladiator Tournament.

We shall finally discover who will earn the title of Champion of /dfg/. The gold and glory, not to mention a place in the Hall of Fame, will all belong to today's victor. Along the way, there have been many upsets. We have lost good friends, witnessed legendary battles, and seen spectacular triumphs. But now, the conclusion is upon us, and I can't help but feel a little melancholic.

And so, let us have a moment where we reflect on all the brave warriors who have fallen so far. Their steadfastness in the face of death, and brazen courage have marked us all. May they feast in the halls of Armok forever more...

.
.
.

Now, let us begin the final battle. Elf versus Elf. Sword versus dagger. The noble fencer versus the sly assassin. We shall witness their victory.

Neither combatant gave us any words, prior to starting the fight. Both chose to remain alone, contemplating the upcoming battle. I myself must agree that the common room has become awfully quiet since the beginning of the tourney, and it does not bode well to dwell on the past. Therefore, we shall move into the Grand Finale without further ado.

Begin.

The horn blows for a final time, and our brave finalists face each other.

"We don't need to fight, Efeye." Says Annie Mae. "Please, just tell me where he is."

The desert elf's eyes narrow into slits, and he remains silent.

"If I have to kill, or even torture you-" Annie Mae is interrupted by the assassin. His voice, raspy from disuse, comes out as little more than a whisper.
"There is no bargain to be had. I'm truly sorry, but you must die. I have no choice."

Grimly, Annie Mae falls silent and prepares herself for the fight of her life.

Faster than the eye can blink, Efeye bounds across the arena, his cloaks swirling about him. Steel sword against iron knives, the gladiators duel, their blades flashing with such frightening speed that sparks fly, but both of the deadly elves are so skilled in their art that neither is able to land the slightest cut.
The very floors and walls are scored, and the stones are slashed deeply by the incredible duel's frenetic clash. The fight continues, locked evenly, until Annie Mae miscalculates ever so slightly, and an iron blade tears into her! She is protected by her cloak from the worst of it, but the force of the blow sends her down, the very tendons in her leg torn! She cries out and scrambles back, and raises her hand just in time to deflect another knife aimed at her heart! Unrelenting in his offense, Efeye flings aside her arm and backhands her, sending the girl reeling back!

With blood trickling down her face, Annie Mae desperately fends off Efeye's frenzied strikes, as he whirls this way and that, raining attacks down upon her! Her cloak proves true, however, and the daggers cannot pierce the enchanted adamantine. Nonetheless, she is battered and flung about, and every desperate swing of her blade is easily parried or avoided by Efeye, who refuses to back down even for a moment.

"I. Cannot. Lose." Snarls Efeye from between clenched teeth. "I. Cannot. Let. You. Live!"

Cont.

In his frenzied attack, Efeye darts forward recklessly, and lands a devastating strike on the gasping elf at his feet... But it was all a feint! Allowing herself to be painfully struck in the arm, Annie Mae takes advantage of the minuscule opening, and slashes at her cloaked enemy with her steel sword.

Screams are heard from the audience, and Efeye's arm is sent flying, Annie Mae's blade having sheared straight through the cloth, flesh and bone of her foe, sending a wash of blood to stain the arena floor. The ruthless assassin does not even spare a glance at the stump of his arm, now gone at the elbow, and uses his remaining dagger to hack three times before his foe can even react!

Annie Mae screams in agony, and her leg parts from her body , a torn bloody ruin. Gritting her teeth and ignoring the blood trickling down from her face, she swings once more, past the dagger, past the cloaks, and parts the meat on Efeye's closest limb like wet tissue. Efeye tumbles to the ground, his right leg falling off in a spray of crimson!

The crowd are roaring, either cheering or calling out in horror at the horrific mutilation of their gladiators. Uncaring for his own condition, Efeye flings himself like a wild beast at Annie Mae, and... Armok above! He plunges his dagger into the side of Annie Mae's head! The blade sticks, but Annie Mae, her face a mask of blood and tears, stares into the eyes of her foe.

In a voice menacing with the fury of a thousand storms, she breathes an oath.

"There is only one reason I fight in this pit of violence and decay. To save my brother. YOU WILL NOT TAKE HIM FROM ME!"

The elven sword smashes into Efeye, who, though protected from harm by his helm, is sent flying back. His dagger dislodging itself with a squelch, blood immediately pours down the side of Annie Mae's head, mixing with the fibre of her cloak and causing the brilliant blue to turn a dark, sickly colour, like a painful bruise. The tip of her ear left behind, she attacks, her eyes overflowing with anger and death.

Recovering, Efeye attacks, his own face contorted with bloodlust. The two trade blows, once more locked in a bloody stalemate, until Efeye deflects his opponents sword, and, tearing the veil from his face chomps down, immobilising her arm! He actually tears into the flesh with his teeth, and blood spurts out as an artery is torn! Annie Mae cries out in pain, and tears her arm away, cradling it against herself. All this reckless exertion has been taxing, and with the blood still pumping from his leg, Efeye grows paler and paler. Still attacking in his berserk state, he tries to finish the fight, but almost every single attack of his is barely avoided or is deflected by the sword or cloak. Twice, he crushes Annie Mae's foot between the stones and his dagger, but nothing can bring the enemy down.

Soon, Efeye is almost a deathly shade of white, and can no longer hold his weapon. He slumps, cradling the bleeding stump of his arm, and wearily looks at Annie Mae, his eyes bleary and unfocused. His face is exposed, revealing the nut-brown skin of the desert elves, and a handsome face marred by gore.

"I've... I've failed. I cannot stop the bleeding." Tears begin rolling down his cheeks, parting the sweat and blood that covers his face. He leans back, whispering. "I'm so sorry, my dear sister..."

Annie Mae crawls over to him, her sword forgotten.
"What are you talking about? Tell me! Where is my brother! You know! I was told you knew!!"

Efeye coughs, and looks at his rival. Eyes full of pity, he tells her...

"He... He was taken. Just like my own sister-" He wheezes, struggling against oblivion. "The... snatchers..."

"What do you mean? Your family was kidnapped too!? Where? Who are the snatchers!?" Annie Mae desperately clasps the dying elf's hands between hers, as though she was cradling his very soul.

"Goblins... I was told... I would only get her back if... If I could kill you…" Efeye smiles, and looks at his mutilated body.

Whispering gently, the tear streaked face of Annie Mae leans in.

"..Who told you this..?"

"..."
"…….Båx..."
"….."

The word escapes with the softest of sighs, and the desert elf's eyes close. He stiffens, his breathing slows, and soon, stops. Efeye has passed into the void.
...Congratulations, Annie Mae. You are the Grand Champion of /dfg/.

We have our champion folks. And it looks like we also have a villain.

Was Båx the mastermind behind this whole affair? Did he set the two most dangerous elves in the land against each other? For what purpose? To weaken their armies, perhaps. Or to save himself the risk of fighting both. Either way, he is gone now. After winning the Grand Royale, he vanished, along with all his gear.

Annie Mae has also gone, staying just long enough for the medicinal priests to stitch up her wounds, before she too departed, hunting down the goblin who stole her brother and forced her to kill all those innocent people.

I wonder, shall we ever see them again? It is a story, apart from the Tournament. Or perhaps the Tournament was merely a part in their much larger story. We can only guess at what the future holds.

Only female mosquito people can suck blood (Just like IRL), and it's not through biting IIRC. I think you're supposed to make the opponent unconscious, stand next to it and pres (e) to eat and the option to suck blood will show up.

Honest question: I'm an archaeology student with a huge interest in Finnish stone age (especially the subneolithic).

I'm planning on learning Finnish so that one day I might be able to do research in Finland.

Do you recommend browsing /mämmi/ to train my Finnish? Or will it only teach me autistic meme Finnish?

My vote went for Annie Mae, but he was probably my second favorite fighter. The pun made me chuckle.

Its a shame almost none of the beastmen made it past round one and almost all got wrecked immediately in the battle royale. Thinking they might be a little underpowered. Or maybe its because most of them weren't using weapons.

Never ever visit /mämmi/, it's the worst place to be on the entire internet.
Also 80% of Finnish people speak good English and 98% speak some English so if you really just want to come and visit some archeological sites, like all those hundreds of dinky caves, and speak with fellow Finnish archeologists then there is no need to learn Finnish.
Only reason to learn Finnish is if you plan to live here for the rest of your life.
Also if you're interested in Finland I recommend you look into the wikipedia article on our history and also into the Kalevala, our national epic.

I have mixed feelings about the tournament. On the one hand it's fun to make the gladiators, build them up, and pit them against other fighters. On the other hand, turning into an anime simulator and filling it waifus and memes takes all the fun out of it for me. Only one of the meme gladiators had anything to do with DF, and then tourneyanon indulges the f/a/gs and /d/eviants with a babby's-first-jrpg-tier narrative. I liked the first tourney a lot more.

>>169114351
Martial trance. It's a legendary fighter for free mechanic. Would've happened with the other dwarf too if Sten hadn't been closer to him than any of the other gladiators.

>>169114138
IWRLIH made it to round two.

>>169114540
A lot of interesting journal articles I want to read are exclusively in Finnish. Knowing the language is clearly a must in order to do research on Finnish prehistory.

>>169114543
I liked the first more as well, but I didn't dislike this one. I do feel like the next will be pure waifu and meme gladiators though, this one at least had some "serious" competitors.

Biggest issue with the tourney right now is the faggotry it leaves behind, we could do just fine without the waifu sperging.

There are bound to be several universities/institutions in Sverige that offer courses to learn Finnish.
And if there aren't, there are most certainly several in Finland so you should try to contact any of these you can find by email.

>>169115652
Yeah, probably. I don't think my uni (Gothenburg) offers it, though.

>>169115187
There's nothing wrong with talking about gladiators, I actually enjoy it a lot because it often evolves to skill distribution and tactics, which is interesting and related to dwarf fortress.

How broad Annie's hips are and whether it's a male or female is not related to dwarf fortress, it's an excuse to shitpost.

>>169115606

>A 10x10 room should be a rectangle.

>>169115782
Then you should find out which do and contact those and contact your university for receiving credit for any courses you complete elsewhere.
Also check out Turku university and Helsinki university contacts if all else fails.
There are probably more universities on the western and southern coast like Vaasa that you could try but I'm not sure.

>>169115969
>How broad Annie's hips are and whether it's a male or female is not related to dwarf fortress, it's an excuse to shitpost.
I take it you're that militant anti-meme poster to tried to stir up shit earlier?

I like memes personally, and I will keep using them in the general. As long as it is on-topic (and everything regarding the tourney is on-topic per definition), there's nothing wrong with it.

Reminder that the correct way to play Dwarf Fortress is however you want.
Whether it's square or non-square, both is fine.
Whether it's ASCII, or graphics, both is fine.
Anyone who tells you to play with one or the other only is wrong.
However if you mod the gameplay, such as using Masterwork you're a shitter and should leave.

Well this tourney was pretty fun.

I have a few doubts about point distribution though, mainly that humans have less points than dwarves, elves or goblins. If I remember correctly, there were tests done before that showed humans weren't as good as the other races, I wanted to repeat these tests but make them more in depth.

I made each race fight the other one in 18 sets, each one of the sets had different skills or equipment than the others, here are the results:

http://pastebin.com/rjTeKee1

Now, conclusions, well, I just finished it and I haven't taken a good look at the results, I'll do that later, but I'll leave you the results so you can come up with your own.

>>169117375
IIRC, when unskilled, Elves turned out to be superior to all other races according to those tests. I think it was the same when the fighters were given skills.

Maybe the outcome in the Tourney weren't so unexpected after all. Elves are simply the strongest.

>>169073797
testing in the 1-wide tunnels of the arena I failed to replicate the issue
maybe dfhack or some adventure mode nonsense is the issue

>>169117904
They have higher agility scores. And kinaesthetic, I think.
From the tests an earlier anon was doing, kin sense has quite an impact.

>>169118047
Is that true?

I have a vague memory of an anon who did tests claiming that kinesthetic sense only had a marginal impact. In his experiments, however, intuition turned out to have a huge impact.

For the record, a lot of the meme characters were just roster fillers. The waifu shit is mostly a joke too (but who can argue with this erection?).

When (if?) there's a 3rd tournament I don't think I'll be submitting any joke/meme/waifu/whatever characters, I already have a couple of ideas for characters.

>>169081550
Huh, seems like Li attacked Bax first.

What I don't understand is, if Li was wearing gauntlets, how did Bax manage to wound him anyway? When he hit the upper arm it makes sense since gauntlets don't protect that part, but as far as I know they do protect hands and lower arms, and yet Bax still managed to hit and wound that part, and not through force translation, or through the armor, in fact, when you strike someone with a weapon, and it goes through their armor, the message that pops us is that you wounded them through their armor, but it doesn't say anything about armor in that case.

>>169119784
Now that I've paid more attention to it, it seems Li was only wearing a gauntlet on his right arm, since when Bax tries to stab him in his right hand the attack is deflected, but when he stabs him in his left hand it isn't.

Not that it matters anyway since Li was dead the moment Bax stabbed him in the left upper arm.

How about that Sten reveal guys?

People with pleb keyboards type Bax instead.

I think it's kind of silly people submitted multiple. Last tourney I was Sten's manager and this one I was Edim's. I didn't put a ton of thought into them but gave them somewhat of a backstory. I'd say Sten ended up being memorable, without any memes. I liked this tournament immensely but the me message get stale very quickly.

they're all good for different reasons

pigs don't need to graze and get you milk+meat
sheep/alpacas/llamas get you wool
cats/peregrine-falcons kill pests
dogs are war trainable
birds lay eggs and breed fast enough for a meat industry

all 4 legged animals get you a lot of meat, bones and almost all of them produce milk

all in all, falcons + dogs + sheep + pigs is the best combo and will allow you to hit just about every industry/need

First let's make a list of the sets and what skills and equipment the fighters have in each of them

Set 1(no equipment and no skills)
Set 2(no equimpent and adept striker, kicker, biter, fighter,dodger)
Set 3(no equimpent and grand master striker, kicker, biter, fighter,dodger)
Set 4(full steel armor and no skills)
Set 5(full steel armor and adept striker, kicker, biter, fighter, dodger, armor user)
Set 6(full steel armor and grand master striker, kicker, biter, fighter, dodger, armor user)
Set 7(iron short sword and no skills)
Set 8(iron short sword and adept swordsman and dodger skill)
Set 9(iron short sword and grand master swordsman and dodger skill)
Set 10(full steel armor and steel short sword and no skills)
Set 11(full steel armor and steel short sword and adept swordsman, dodger and armor user skills)
Set 12(full steel armor and steel short sword and grand master swordsman, dodger and armor user skills)
Set 13(iron short sword and iron shield and no skills)
Set 14(iron short sword and iron shield and adept swordsman, shield user and dodger skills)
Set 15(iron short sword and iron shield and grand master swordsman, shield user and dodger skills)
Set 16(steel short sword, steel shield and full steel armor and no skills)
Set 17(steel short sword, steel shield and full steel armor and adept swordsman, shield user, dodger and armor user skills)
Set 18(steel short sword, steel shield and full steel armor and grand master swordsman, shield user, dodger and armor user skills)

Ok, let's take a look at the results now

Human vs Dwarf: Humans won set 5, 18, and had a draw in set 17.

I'd say humans are worse than dwarves, most of the sets were pretty close though.

Continued in next post

>>169124732
Human vs Elf: Humans won set 2, 4, 5, 6, 12, 15, 18 and there was a draw in set 3.

Seems like Elves aren't that good in unarmed combat, they're much better with a sword. It seems giving human skills balances things out more or less.

Human vs Goblin: Humans won set 8, 9 and there was a drawn in set 2

The sets weren't as close as the dwarf ones. Goblins seem to do great if they wear weapons, a shield and armor.

I think humans are the weakest race.

Dwarf vs Human: see human vs dwarf results

Dwarf vs Elf: The dwarves won set 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18 and there was a draw in set 11.

Dwarves seem generally better than elves.

Dwarf vs Goblin: Dwarves won set 2, 5, 6, 8, 14, 15, and there was a drawn in set 13

When both are using armor and weapons, the goblins seem to do better that the dwarves.

Elf vs Human: See human vs elf results

Elf vs Dwarf: See dwarf vs elf results

Elf vs Goblin: Elves won set 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15

Elves seem to do better in the sets where fighter have weapons and nor armo, while goblins seem to do better in unarmed combat and while using armor.

Goblin vs Human: See Human vs Goblin results

Goblin vs Dwarf: See Human vs Dwarf results

Goblin vs Elf: See Elf vs Goblin results

Mmmh, yes, it seems humans are the weakest race, I wouldn't say elves are the best race though, they don't seem to be better than dwarves or goblins.
