Miner, woodcutter, ambusher...
« on: February 01, 2013, 08:17:20 pm »

so there's a bug with these 3 labors and military equipment.

I don't know if it's possible to work around this...

One issue I've had is that I can't have my miner be in the military, or any of these other labors...
the other issue I've had is that I can't get either of these labors to be any other labor without equipment conflicts...

If I mod into the game a battle pick, battle axe (that is also used to chop down trees), and a bow that can be used for hunting as well as fighting (which I guess is already established)... so maybe the problem is with something else...

My question is, can I modify the game to prevent less of these conflicts, both on the labor and military scale

i found that you need two weapons or two picks.  like a regular copper pick for digging then a steel battle pick for fighting which i assign through the military screen
same for tree cutting and i assume the same for hunting/archery but i'm a bit timid towards hunting unless it's of a high skill level dwarf

they seem to want to keep jobs and military life separate : /

could i do this inbetween labors as well?  Probably not.  But I can assign a "vanilla (really accelerated mod dwarf)" a separate pick in the military?  That would be awesome!

I guess my real questions are

Can I create a battle axe that doubles as a chopping axe?

Can I create a battle pick that doubles as a mining pick (mw already seems to have accomplished this)

All weapons that use the axe skill can fell trees. All picks can pick. Both can be used as weapons. So yes, you can. Dwarves will still take their chopping axes as weapons and battlepicks as picks, and it wont fix what you describe as a bug.
