Think a minute lass! How are we going to run our forges if we don't have any fuel? Sure we use coke when bituminous coal or lignite is available, or use special magma forges when we can, but far too often we can't and we have to use charcoal. Then we send our dwarven lumberjacks into the caves, or on to the surface if need be, to get lumber from giant mushrooms or from trees. Of course everybody knows that the dreaded trees have it out for dwarves, so our lumberjacks get lots of fighting experience. Hence why we developed better axes for fighting. Of course we also use hammers and picks and the like, but battleaxes are an essential part of our arsenal. Also, I'd like to see you cleave goblin head from their shoulders with a hammer! |
