How to equip weapons/armor?
« on: November 07, 2011, 04:20:34 pm »

I see how to do it for squads through the (m)ilitary screen, but I want to equip them to non-military units such as my woodcutters and soon to be hunters.

Simple answer: you don't.

More complicated answer: woodcutters, miners, and hunters have "uniforms" of a sort that is automatically set when a dwarf is assigned a labor. This invisible uniform includes the items necessary to carry out the labor and nothing else, and it interferes with military uniforms. While for every dwarf that isn't a woodcutter, miner, or hunter, you could put them in a squad that never is activated and assign them a uniform that they are to wear off-duty, for those three professions that doesn't work.
