It keeps dropping all their stuff after they are done fighting.Then I say "Hey,go kill the goblin invasion" and they go "Oops! We left our equipment on the other side of the map, behind the goblin invasion. back when we were killing rabbits."

I know this is off topic, but I just thought of a sitcom that would be named "My Retard Military"

Or, The Urist Bunch.

Those labor imply a sort of uniform which basically means "nothing but a pick/axe/crossbow and a quiver". If you assign them a proper uniform too, they will be swapping these two uniforms constantly wasting their time and never equipping most of what you want them to wear.

It doesn't really matter what they are as long as they are not miners, woodcutters or hunters. I'd suggest you make them fishers/herbalists if you want them outside for quick reaction or just haulers or idlers if you want them train hard.

I find making them pump operators is useful, it's not a job you want to have a dwarf dedicated to but it can be one that needs doing from time to time. Also, it should boost their Strength and endurance, always good for a fighter.

But it should be easy enough not to use them in a way you feel is dumb while letting other people have their hilarity.

Definitely not peasants if you mean "should they have no civilian skills at all?" instead of "should they have all civilian labours switched off?"

Really it's just hunting, mining and woodcutting require using some equipment and the game implements this by making an invisible uniform for them. So long as soldiers do not have those labours switched on, they won't drop all their equipment each time they go back to civilian mode.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.
