How to arm guards/sheriff?
« on: August 08, 2010, 08:13:59 pm »

Its been a while since I played, and I remember being able to do it in the previous version, but now, no so. Is it done through some screen I'm missing?

This isn't coming first hand, but I am of the understanding it can still be done. I wouldn't know how.

Yeah, you equip them like any other members of the military.

Yep and if you put a dwarf with no fighting skill and no weapon as sheriff your dwarfs will complain because the punishement wasn't harsh enough. The best solution is to put chains and set them for justice, then your punished dwarf will go chained for some time, this will avoid the beating and the risk of injury which is very high sometime.

Chains for justice are good.  It's a nice little time-out.
