That's pretty funny actually. I wonder if the water tastes weird.

Piled it on Rapidcrap, All I could think of. The armor is no longer in the Trade depot because I destroyed it, however my dwarves still refuse to use it, despite being perfectly happy wearing the armor i've crafted for them myself.

No, It's outside and there isn't an ounce of water on my map.

Update to the update: It appears as if my dwarves have found the armor and are now pulling it out of the wall of a nearby house... How this is possible I do not know. Time will tell if my military dwarves will actually wear it now or not.

Edit: Military dwarves still refusing to wear the armor, the issue persists.

As the subject suggests, I am unable to get my Military dwarves to equip armor or shields despite being set to. I've had a few full sets of steel chainmail/shields that I bought from the Dwarven Caravan several years ago go untouched by dwarves set to wear a shield and chain armor. Predictably, the survival rate for my recruits is about 30 days or less, since this is a waterless map so if they have to rest an injury they die of dehydration.

Yeah, it has to actually be underground to be considered indoors for most purposes of the game. I'm hoping Toady will change it soon to make aboveground fortresses more feasible.

Did you order them all inside? If not, they were trying to react to goblins on the top floor of a building through fortifications, and couldn't so they simply stand there.

Only crossbows, I think. If you mod in a metal that's as common as steel with a higher value it will start out as that instead of steel. A good way to get extra points without using adjuststart if you make it super valuable.
