DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Military doesn't want to equip armor
« on: December 06, 2015, 12:39:19 am »
I set up the uniform like I normally do, simple metal mail shirt (x2), breastplate, greaves, etc.,.... Checked on them later, all 6 of my dwarfs had just grabbed a shield and weapon. The armor pieces did not even have the green checkmark for them being assigned. Checked my stocks, yep, plenty of armor. Changed metal to any material, nope. Changed from exact match to partial, nope. Finally, I went in and assigned them a specific piece for each part of the uniform.
Now they all have green checks, so they're assigned...but they won't pick them up. I also got two mercenaries that won't take any armor, but will gladly take an extra weapon and shield. I think I might just let the mercs form their own squad if I get one or two more and let them be crazy, but I would like my dwarfs to be a bit less suicidal. Oh, set to be in uniform when off duty and I've tried replacing clothing and over clothing. Some of them have replaced the occasional bit, but I just can't figure it out.
One of them refuses to let go of a book, too. He DOES have his weapon, but it's strapped to his chest. It's at the point where his hammer skill is rusty, now. Oh, did I mention he can't even read?
