I kind of like the idea that you "can" wield a 2 hander and shield, but that it'll perform worse if you do - so you "should probably" make the dorf drop the shield and go 2 hand - but have the option to not if you wanna be silly or lazy or have other reasons. Gives me Elden Ring feels. I'm personally fine with making an extra loadout to make them not use a shield.

I can't* make an edit to fix this bug unfortunately.

The issue with body size checks for weapons is a hardcoded one in fortress mode. This mod is less of a bug fix and more of a modification to the files to allow dwarves to use these weapons.

Without this mod, dwarves SHOULD ON PAPER be allowed to wield the weapons in two hands and NOT in one hand. However, the bug in the game seems to either allow them to wield in both one hand and two hands or not at all.

I can make an edit to fix this.

We have to wait for Putnam or Tarn to fix it.

Just have your military uniforms not allow shields. The large weapons perform better without them on a technical level.

i tried it out and for sure this does the same thing, 2h swords with shields on every dwarf i have.

Is it confirmed this mod wont let dwarves use 2h weapons and shields?
Every other mod i have tried everything in the game runs around using 2h swords and shields and mauls and shields.

except arrows...

epic i wanted one without craftables

The weapons require two hands, yes.

Do they still require two hands to wield? I'd hate to break all balance by having my dwarves swinging zwiehanders with shields.

This is literally perfect. I thought you should be able to wield these when I first saw them at the trader! This adds a reason to buy these weapons other than to melt them and keeps them rare enough to be considered status weapons used by the best warriors or as symbols of authority and nobility. As powerful imported weapons should be!
