Ironbrows weapon shops has odd effects (dwarfs)

[floskan]

"This land mark gives +%5 weapon dmg 'Against' dwarfs. Which is weird also its 10 armor to shielded units in region is pretty useless. Can you guys give it a look to these effects? Side note belegars campaign special building in 8 peaks gives faction wide magical attacks. Can somehow this can be for also other lords? Dwarfs lack magical attacks in general."

Questionable design, perhaps, but not really a bug.

It had a different effect a few patches ago. "Weapon strength: +5% for Dwarf units with hand weapons (local armies)" which makes more sense (to me)

[mfvreeland]

It makes more sense to me, too; I'd just want a little more confirmation that the change was unintentional. I'm not going to close this issue, though, because it is odd.

I agree that your effect makes more sense. May I ask where you saw that? my git-fu failed me and all I could find is this change that happened in patch 3.0.0:

[allenhu0912]

I recall seeing that in WH2.

[floskan]

Yeah I think Allen is correct, I might have selective memory. But I still think this new effect was an error lost in translation between games or something

This was recently brought up on Discord, and there is a growing consensus that although this has been this way in WH3 for a long time, it was a regionwide weapon strength buff in WH2, and that just makes too much more sense not to implement. I am inclined to agree at this point.

Note it's still basically a non-factor, but just for flavor we may as well change it. It could help the garrison, albeit insignificantly.
