Weapon Equipping
« on: April 19, 2010, 04:15:59 pm »

So I told my military to equip battle axes and after realizing I had none, I ordered iron battle axes to be made.  Then my miners stopped mining and I looked at their inventory and saw they had no picks.  Apparently the military had seized their picks as weapons and now I have no mining capability.  I first tried specifically setting their weapon to a specific iron battle axe that I had created but the battle axes wouldn't appear.  The axes were visible on the stocks menu and they were stored in a weapons stockpile but they wouldn't appear on the weapon list in the military screen.  Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Disband the squad. That should cause them to drop all military equipment. Also be certain they have an arsenal dwarf, if one is needed. All else fails, import some picks.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.
