Throwing Axes

Works for me as of date of this post. at least in fortress. Sometimes i notice however that before combat he wont take throwing axes and will just run up and melee whatever enemy he is facing. But i see the unit use axes sometimes during archery training.

Awesome!

@MangoCobra, this uses the Throwing skill!

What skill does this weapon use?

@Action Bastard, Im afraid we'll have to wait for the ammunition screen, I am having the same issue. The only workaound I can suggest is to equip and/or produce only one type per fort. Not ideal I know, but until we can manually select ammunition thats all we can do!

That is great to hear! But I have had a recent issue with this mod, My dwarves with crossbows (they come to the fortress as hunters,) will pick up incompatible ammo, (axes for crossbows, and bolts for axes) is there anything that can be done, or will we have to wait for an ammunition screen? regardless, thank you for such a cool mod.

@Action Bastard: Absolutely!

Can I have my dorfs use throwing axes and shields?

@Digganob - Yep I am planning on it, just haven't had free time to work on mods (or play DF). I should probably get to it in the next week.

@LuthiX, Id love to have on-sprite graphics for the axes to show them equipped. I need to dig into other mods that add weapons on-sprite to see how to achieve it. Ill take a look at that issue you raised too.

Hey I just noticed you haven't put out a universally craftable throwing axe mod yet, I was just wondering if you were still planning on it?
