Couple questions, not just for myself, to clear things up.
1. Is Precision just a addition to your % to hit? How exactly is it calculated?
2. The damage doesn't register in the "Base Damage" of the golem description. It might be nice if it was shown there.
3. Does carrying a weapon in both hands add double the benefits (i.e. double the precision, and the damage add)? AKIMBO GOLEMS! |

On the subject of weapons... I assume that attacking with a weapon requires more energy from your golem's powersource, and hence the decreased number of attacks with a weapon but is this drain cumulative, so using multiple weapons uses more energy?
Or I could be on entirely the wrong track and they don't use energy at all... |

| The fact that he uses the words 'accuracy' for eyes and 'prescision' for weapons leads me to believe that with a weapon that gives high prescision, your attacks will be more focused to the same body part. |

Precision is added to accuracy. There's no special reason for the different names: accuracy and precision are tracked seperately in the database, since precision can be set negative while accuracy can not. Sorry, precision doesn't really help you focus in on one location over the other. :)
The base damage of a golem doesn't take into account weaponry because a golem could potentially have multiple weapons and swap between them during a combat.
Carrying two of the same weapon doesn't have any specific bonus except allowing a golem to continue fighting with the weapon if it loses one of the arms (for example), but I'd like duplicates to have a real effect one day.
Attacking with a weapon generally uses more energy than a golem's fists; sometimes a LOT more, depending on the weapon. Each golem attack uses up energy, and at the end of every round the golem recovers energy. Sometimes you should see a golem revert to fists if it's used up a lot of energy with a previous weapon, but fists are "default" so it'll revert to those if it has troubles deciding on another weapon to use. I'm toying with the idea of letting folks flip a toggle like, "Never Use Fists" if the golem has weapons, so it'll always try to use the weapon (regardless of the higher energy cost).

| I like the idea of being able to control how the golem attacks with it's weapons |
