Utterly Mad

Bronze is the superior material, iron is easier to make and nearly as good, but not quite. So you killing him with an iron weapon is not likely. You need some Stahl.

Odd, because bronze has a better SHEAR_YIELD, while iron has a better SHEAR_FRACTURE. At least in-game. Both proved useless against it, without cheating. And I can't get ye flask Stahl because no dwarves generated.

Also, first non-Sixpost comment I get when I open an issue explaining the Arcana mod fuckups I figured out in an hour? The guy who made the PR that fucked up silver athames, questioning the idea that use_actions tied into crafting qualities can interfere with use_actions of active items.

Yeah no shit, I just explained the fuckup in my opening post and said how to fix it. Glad to see that half a year since I stopped being a contributor, and I still got it. :V

Peri's mostly got it, but it depends alot on what type of iron and what type of bronze you're talking about. Properly worked bronze is about as "good" as decently worked high-carbon iron (we'll call it quasi-steel). Cast bronze (more common in the Bronze Age) is not quite as good as cast iron. Both will hold a nice edge, but the bronze will shatter more easily than the iron, assuming you apply equal force to both.

In game terms, I think it's fairly safe to assume bronze is well worked, wheras the iron has little to no carbon content that doesn't occur naturally - that's what in game steel is. So, in that sense, the bronze should actually be superior to the iron.

Historically, the big shift from bronze to iron happened because of logistics. You need copper and tin to make bronze, and it's a little more labour intensive, wheras you just need iron to have iron, not because the iron available was "better". When different methods of introducing carbon (also plentiful) into the iron came around, iron and steel became both less labour intensive and resource dependent than bronze, as well as "better" for pretty much any application.

I'm trying to figure out a new game to get to combat my video game apathy. Anyone have any suggestions? Ideally not graphically intensive as I'm too lazy to fix my proper gaming PC.

Also, is Stellaris any good?

I'm not good at platformers, so I'd better try it. Nothing like horrible death to kill time.

I just used the handy dropbox provided. Seems to have downloaded right. Now if I can drag myself away from looking at steam queues for a minute I can see if it will install.

That would be because it's my dropbox, not one of their mirrors.

Fun fact, a blacksmith I met when I first started with metal working used marshmellows to add carbon to the steel he was working with.

On the one hand, that sounds awesome. On the other hand, what a waste of marshmallows. Reminds me though, of the idea where you try to forge with bronze instead of casting it. Any idea how difficult it is? :V

Goddamnit game devs, stop making games I want all come out within like a month of each other.
