Small Equipment Gripe + Possible Resolution
« on: August 03, 2010, 07:33:09 am »

I have come to love the new military system; while it is a bit more clunky, the vast improvements in control and customization make it more than worthwhile.  There is one small annoyance I have run into, however: when equipping dwarfs with specific pieces of armor/weapons, items already in the possession of other dwarfs aren't removed from the list.  If selected, they will take the item from the soldier who currently has it (and it won't be replaced if it, too was set as a specific weapon/armor). 

My idea to resolve this issue was to have a small marker placed next to any currently in-use equipment in the equip screen; it wouldn't have to be anything fancy.  Just something to help me remember that, "hey, generic steel buckler x is already assigned, so I should choose buckler y to prevent a mugging."  thanks in advance for any fix/advice (because I might just be dull and have missed something).
