| Summary | 0007874: Ballista arrows are blunt weapons |
| Description | Verified in 0.34.11 and in 0.40.06
Ballista arrows cause damage (bruising/shattering) that is indicative of blunt weapons and not an edged weapon. Ballista arrows do not cause severing.
One would think that ballista arrows should be edged, as the dwarves can craft various types of weapon metal arrowheads for them. |
| Steps To Reproduce | Generate a pocket world with short history
Embark with steel bars, wood, coke, an anvil, several dogs and generic stone
Build a forge, crank out a few steel ballista arrowheads
Build a siege workshop, create a few ballista parts and steel-tipped arrows
Build the ballista, pointing at a meeting zone full of your dwarves and dogs
Load and fire the ballista
Observe results
Elapsed time: 10 minutes |
| Additional Information | Player-built minecart weapons are more devastating than the default siege weapons at the moment, so it is probably OK to delay a fix until an overall siege weapon rewrite. |
