Hunting confusing
« on: June 02, 2011, 05:44:41 am »
I haven't really played DF since before burrows were added and the military screen.  Somehow hunting being toggled no longer sends out dwarves even though they have bolts and a crossbow.

They only goes out if they have accessible path to any wild creatures. Are there any huntable creatures around?

There are walruses, racoons, penguins.  Its on a frozen sea but dwarves walk out there so it shouldn't be a problem.   Still "no job" hunters.

That was it.  I remember when they used to carry a handful of arrows
