Ava’s Armory
Being spoiled by masterwork’s amount of weaponry I now feel an itch for 5 types of swords. Now I’m going to spoil you with 5 types of swords and even more. Armor will be added as well!
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: When creating new world you will need to turn on my mod and turn off vanilla creature graphics. I have copypasted vanilla graphics in, so you will get the usual graphics + my custom item graphics on dwarfs)
Added swords:
Arming – a sword to surpass short sword (by a bit).
Bastard – a bastard sword is the biggest sword dwarf can have with a shield.
Falchion – a single-edged short sword resembling a cleaver. Improved slashing in comparison to usual short sword, but stabbing is weaker.
Saber – a single-edged sword with emphasis on cutting even more than falchion. Better slashing stats than flachion, but is somewhat bigger and even worse at stabs. Comes with a handguard (whcih does not provide protection in fact, but allows better hitting attacks with it than pommel strikes)
Sidesword – a double-edged rapier-like sword, with emphasis on piercing strikes. Long and is not good at slashing, but better than a rapier.
Rapier – a needle-like sword with emphasis on piercing attacks. Do not try to slash with it, but it can skewer all you want.
Added polearms:
Doru – broad leaf spear with a small rear piercer. Heavier than usual spear and the head is bigger, but it looses some ‘penetration’ power.
Ahlspeiss – basically a short sword on a stick. Behaves as one.
Billhook – a polearm that was developed to counter cavalry riders and take them off horse with its hook. No riders here, so the only thing you can do is hook where it hurts.
Polehammer – imagine warhammer, but with longer stick, sharp spearpoint, sharp beak and smaller hammer. Works as it sounds, but it has better reach and speed bonus.
Goedendag – minherr! Big stick with metal cup and spike on top. Works like a heavy mace with ability to stab.
Poleaxe – imagine axe, but with longer stick, sharp spearpoint, small axehead and small hammer behind it. Works as it sounds.
Dwarven longsword – longsword but a bit smaller in all regards (except handguard). Makeable and usable by dwarfs by default – hence the name.
Poleflail – flail, but on long stick. Is a mace, works as it sounds with very good speed bonus.
Added misc:
Stiletto – a long but slim dagger made for piercing attacks.
Added armor:
Gambeson – your cloth friend that you keep closer than armor. Provides an extra layer of cloth armor.
Gambeson coif – same, but on your head.
Mail coif – mail version of gambeson coif. Better, stronger, mailer.
Coat of plates – cheaper alternative for breastplate that is less bulky (obviously weaker than breastplate itself)
Topfhelm – expensive alternative for usual helm, in the name of protection.
Kettle helmet – alternative to usual helm. Less cover, but a bit better protection and cheaper.
Sallet – alternative to Kettle Helmet, covers more than kettle, twice as expensive.
Bascinet with mail – another alternative to usual helmet and has mail coif inbuilt. Better cover than sallet, worse protection.
Bascinet visored – same as above, but more cover and more expensive. Still worse and cheaper than topfhelm.
Added guns as well, courtesy of 7isAnOddNumber. All I did is change sprites and add on-dwarf sprites.

Added guns:
Musket – matchlock musket, speaks for itself.
Pistol – weak small version of above.
Cannon – basically a small cannon, not sure there is a dwarf that can handle it.
Grenade launcher – launches grenades at enemies. Will not work without DFHack and proper installation as indicated in the original mod.
Handgonne – long stick, small barrel at the end of it. A bit better than pistol, but doubles as a bad mace weapon. Silver handgonne sounds dangerous to its wielder, but its actually dangerous to its enemies that rush the wielder.
All items have item sprites and on-character sprites. All sprites are palletable – material color will apply.
Special thanks to Deon☣ and Col. Caboose for helping me in making this mod breathe.
Big big big thanks to actioninja for resprite of most sprites – they look lovely now.
