Mauls and Mattocks

[generaldurandal]

A Maul is a big two-handed hammer,
but in this game they are one-handed?

A Mattock is a digging, chopping tool,
with the head of a pickaxe, and the head of a hoe,
but it's counted as a two-hannded hammer, a Maul ingame?

Please fix the confusing names of your items,
and please add REAL mauls to the game.

I wish the mattock looked more like it in the icon, but the weapon itself is pretty awesome. I do agree the Maul should be the 2 hander and the mattock the 1h blunt or maybe a combination like the halberd given it's T4.

It doesn't look like the icon?

I've noticed a few things that don't look like their icon,
like, one of the potato dish's icons looks like a roast chicken,
but I think it's model does too,
but it doesn't have meat in it's recipe,
and it's not called, roast chicken, or roast bird of any kind.

Well, the Mattock should remain be two-handed,
but it should be for digging and mining, instead of fighting.
A Mattock is pretty much a big pickaxe, but also with a hoes head for digging dirt.

Not to me, to me the icon for the mattock looks like a pickaxe. Pointed at both ends, which admittedly, side on it probably does, maybe make the icon look from end on or something, so you can see one side is a spade and other is a pick.

To be fair, I vaguely seem to recall that the in-game lore for the Khazâd War Mattock mentions this was primarily a crafting tool but one adopted or converted for military use during a particular Age... or something along those lines anyway.

Yes indeed, a Mattock would make a very deadly weapon,
but not with bludgeoning damage.
It would be a warpick, so piercing damage.

Do enemies block?

Does it deal damage through blocks?
Does it ignore some enemy armor?

Thank you for this fascinating information! Can the OP please also explain the difference between stoats and weasels too?

Brilliant. +1

It's a game where our little Avatars carry stack of rocks, ore and lumber in a backpack, light fires that never need fuel, and magically wake up in bed after dying. Are we really worried about the historical accuracy of tools and weapons??
