hello there, everyone. thought i'd post and ask for a bit of help, while i'm being plundered by racoons and digging out a massive tomb-level. for some reason, i can't get my dwarves to arm themselves. i specify a uniform and apply it to a squad, but they never arm themselves. perhaps someone could explain when they are supposed to or how i make them? (of note: when i go to equip -> specific item, none of my armor shows up, except for some stupid clothes. i've smithed about 15 suits of armor now) anyone know what gives?

Try setting them to active. Also you might want to set the uniform to replace civilian clothes, due to a bug that causes the damage to only look at one layer.

Don't forget to set up barracks! In case you don't know how to do it, build a bed/armor stand/weapon rack and make it a barracks. Then, for each squad (cycle with +/-) press "t","i","q". They should equip themselves.

yeah, i have the entrance to my fort dug into a little patch of mountain, off that is a barracks w/ armor rack, and off that is the equipment room with heaping piles of sharp pointy things to skewer goblins with. do these weapons have to be inside the limits of the barracks or something? (i did use replace, and tried activating them, and still nada. they just lounge around in the barracks sleeping or "individual combat drilling" heh.

The barracks need to be flooded at least 2/7 with magma to function properly: you will see, no more glitch behavior from your dorfs...

I thought it was 4/7 water? So they would learn to swim, or something?

You were both close; first it's one then the other.

Don't forget the menacing spikes training spears!
