Dominions 3: The Awakening/Items/Hammers, Maces and Mauls

Hammers & Maces
Hammers have good damage but give a -1 penalty to Defence and are short weapons. There weren't many magical hammers in Dominions 2 and only one magical mace. It is not known if this situation has changed in Dominions 3.

Maul
Mauls are huge pole-hammers wielded with two hands. Most commonly seen on the Barbarian units and Ulmish infantry, Maul has a great damage but gives -1 to defence.
