Hunters

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that dwarves that you invest more points into Ambusher than anything else get free equipment.
Did they change this? I know migrant hunters bring their own stuff, but the 2 times I've tried to start with a hunter they didn't get anything.

Your own dwarves don't start with anything but standart clothing.
You will have to bring it with you on the "embark cart".

Nah. By default you start with a quiver (or is it three?) so you could just crank out a wooden crossbow (or three) and some bolts out of the first few trees you cut down.  Remember, 25 bolts per log, but 5 bolts per bone.

It was changed a while back IIRC. Now you start with three quivers, but ambusher dwarves no longer get to start with a free quiver, crossbow, and bolts.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

You used to be able to get free gear for a mere 5 embark point spent in 1 ambusher, including crossbow, bolts, quiver and armor (possibly plain quality metal). No longer possible

Thanks for the replies, I guess I'll just start with the stuff it is even necessary.
