Hunters use crossbows (or other ranged weapons from other cultures), not axes. Wood cutters use axes

Please, take a moment of silence for all the venerable old threads rendered unintelligible by the Great Photobucket Dickification of 2017. So much was lost.

To clarify: in 40d and earlier, hunters used whatever weapon you told them to use, but in 0.31 they will only use crossbows (and possibly bows).

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Thank you for the responses, I've been using an older tutorial, so I thought since i made him an axedorf he'd hunt with an axe.
