Forbidden weapons
« on: November 20, 2013, 09:09:22 am »
So I have several squads of soldiers who are progressing along nicely, many are getting attached to shield/weapon and skills are improving. Then I noticed in the stocks screen that some of their weapons, which i have individually assigned, are forbidden. When I zoom to one, it is indeed forbidden, but the dwarf still has it equipped and is using it.

Why is it becoming forbidden?  I ask because I am equipping a few more squads and I use the stocks screen to track the equipment being made, so having them forbidden screws me up sometimes. I also worry that the weapon will be unused or some other nonsense if it is forbidden. Any thoughts?

Not absolutely certain about this, but I think weapons get forbidden when they're stuck in an enemy at the time of death.  They probably get counted as part of the enemy's possessions while stuck in, and get forbidden along with all the stuff the enemy drops.

I'm almost certain that's the case.

And as far as I've experienced, it has no effect on a soldier using that weapon. I assume that if it gets dropped for some reason, they wouldn't pick it back up.
