Concerning materials

[spawnloser]

Wood is not brittle.  It is soft and can sharpened to a phenomenally sharp edge...but it loses it quickly.

I stand corrected.

Thanks for the link, Jolly Green Giant.

Found a few more cool ones.  I love these kinds of pictures, it really makes it easier for me to visualize things in the game.

A jawbone warclub:

Another jawbone warclub, this time with teeth (wince):

Context page has a few other neat weapons:

This page is pretty interesting, it talks a bit about how to make stone knives (flintknapping) if you don't mind it being hosted on angelfire, and has some good images of finished flint knives:

This page has some good pictures (click the weapons link) but also talks about some of the things used in the primitive culture.  I would have never thought to use lizard skin as an abrasive, for example.

Not quite what I had in mind when I posted this thread...

All I wanted to do was share my idea how the game's materials compare to real life materials... time-wise.

You know... iron's like wood. Steel's like bone... or what not... Mithril *ok, not really real life* like metal...

Bah, I think I caused a flame war.

Haha. Trust me, that was all quite friendly discussing. While you won't ever see a right out flame war, be prepared to read/join heated debates on this board. :wink:
