Talk:Pike (weapon)

From DwarfFortressWiki

As I said a lot of times now, I've managed to wield a pike with a dwarven adventurer in 23a. This need to be verified, maybe there's a strenght requirement. --Eagle of Fire 18:34, 10 December 2007 (EST)

You CAN wield it as a dwarf in AM, but not in DM, because they are fobidden to do so by the game code. --Heliopios 18:40, 10 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] Pikeman skill VS Spearman skill

I'm not going to start or create an edit war here. If you (Heliopios) are so sure you're right, then prove it. If you are indeed right I'll be happy to oblige you. Otherwise, I'm going to edit it back again if you can't answer to this in about a few days...

I also think that whatever happens, it should be pointed out that the aforementioned pikeman skill is only used in adventurer mode since dwarves can't wield it in fortress mode. If we're going to make this weapon entry fit with all the others, readers will assume that the skill written there is the fortress mode skill. --Eagle of Fire 01:06, 11 December 2007 (EST)

Is this enough to prove you wrong? Next time do some simple research before you go saying that shit doesnt exist. --Heliopios 01:58, 11 December 2007 (EST)

Sorry... I'm not the one who's agressive about it here. Obviously, we don't all have a degree in Dwarf Fortressology like you do... *rolls eyes* --Eagle of Fire 02:29, 11 December 2007 (EST)

So what about a halberd and a pike? I've seen goblins wielding shields and halberds, I don't know about pikes. I always thought a halberd was a pike with an axe on the end. --Gotthard 12:39, 11 December 2007 (EST)
