[They Got Leader]

I've tried to make them pick up wooden weapons for their training sessions, but they won't. I don't understand. If I choose to have them select it specifically in the equip menu, the dwarves just sit there and stare into space. What am I doing wrong?

[moki]

Are the training weapons accessible? Is there an arsenal dwarf? Did you set the weapons for the current alert state? Sooo many questions...

Nothing. The game is broken. Military matters are still completely fucked up. Don't even try to use them.

Oh. Got it.

The military features do have some bugs, but if you know how to use them (and I only learned it from the wiki), it works most of the time. My guys use training weapons and rush wherever I order them - though they sometimes forget to bring their real weapons...

Except marksdwarves. I'm giving it one more go then forging a bunch of axes.

I'm having trouble convincing my marksdwarf to pick up ammo, but the others are using their wooden training spears just fine, and replacing them with iron when assigned to kill something.

And how do you do this?
I've added weapons to squad uniform, but they dont try to pick it up. Arsenal dwarf is avail.

[BurnedToast]

I just added say, training axe to their uniform and deleted whatever weapon was on there. Then you probably have to go into their inventory and dump whatever weapon they are using because they don't like to drop them. After a while they will (probably, hopefully) pick up the training axes.

Supposedly they will automatically switch to training weapons to train, and switch back to real weapons to kill but I've never seen that actually work. They don't seem to use weapon racks/armor stands at all like they are supposed to.

Not that it matters, I guess. I've never managed to get anyone to spar - they just do individual combat drills till they are legendary (and beyond....!) so there is no reason not to start them with steel axes or whatever you want.
