Soldiers don't train
« on: August 07, 2011, 02:11:10 pm »
First of all, I am used to the military. Usually, everything is working fine.

My squad is set. They have their uniforms assigned and accessible. They are in the "active/training" alert (the alert is set to [CIV] and the squad is assigned to it). The barrack is built, the room is there, and the squad is set to train (T) in the barrack menu.

And yet, the squad members have the job "Soldier (cannot follow order)".

What is'nt right?

Do you have the <min=10> setting on the training?  If you lack 10 soldiers in that squad, that might be the problem.  Just guessing, 'though.

Nope, I've got three soldiers for now and the minimum is set to two.

Have you tried disbanding the squad and trying again from scratch?

Is the barracks at which they are supposed to train outside their designated warren?  Do they have their weapon/shield?

All you should need is soldiers that are active, equipped with the appropriate weapon(s) based on their uniform, a place to train (the barracks) and to have the squad set to active.

I've noticed that with the 0.31.25 DF no longer has a problem with undersized squads set to "10 minimum" for training.  I've been using squads of 4 to 6, and leaving the minimum at 10 and haven't had any problems training.

I changed the weapons (they had picks, I gave them battle axes...) and it worked. I guess it was just a weird bug.

I wonder if that is another aspect of the miner and woodcutter "uniform" bug?
