Update: He's now wearing 12 shields, 7 in his right hand and 5 in his left.

Yeah, it has been reported -- is there an easy way to reproduce it?

[seizer]

Not that I know of, I'm afraid. Isn't this just a case of some missing checks in the pick up/equipment code, though? There should be some hard limits of what a dwarf can hold in his hands.

what.. the shield thing?.. didn't i give you a save file with 10 or so shields equipped?  right at the start of the game?

just start a cheat game (... ps.. did you make that harder?.. grrh) with a whole bunch of shields and tell one of your dwarves to equip shields..

and he'll (eventually) grab them all

[Toady One]

Yeah, you sent a file, but I didn't know how to reproduce it.  I need to catch it before it happens.  I'll try this out when I can.

I have a save where the dwarf has 13 shields equipted and keeps picking them up.. would that help?

[GauHelldragon]

It appears that the dwarves that go and get dozens and dozens of shields are the ones that immigrate to the fortress as recruits with no equipment.

edit: champions with no skills or equipment suffer the same problem it seems

edit: My recruit that picked up 15 shields went sparring and became a legendary shield user in about 2 minutes! lol

I'll take the save if the lil winner is still picking them up.  It'll be good to fix this one.

[Maximus]

Wielding 15 shields sounds pretty legendary to me.

[GauHelldragon]

Ok i'm pretty sure this is the right save.. the unit should be the last recruit on the list...

By the way, in the save game, a few of my military guys refuse to pick up armor.

I had them equipted with bronze stuff, and I had shiney new iron plate for them to use, so I assigned them to have no armor, and then later i assigned them to wear plate, but they never picked any up. The name of one of the dwarves who won't equip is Stukos Therlethlogem, Champion

[Toady One]

The shield bug is fixed.  I watched your recruit equip everything (including a beak dog leather backpack) and drop all the shields except one.  The problem was that if they had a buckler, they never recognized that they had upgraded to a shield and kept snatching them up.

Haven't checked the champion yet.

edit:  The champion you named is fully dressed in bronze plate.

oh ok maybe i did that later on in the game, nevermind

I actually kind of like him with no armor. He runs around at insano speed and never gets hit XD

Toady, have you checked this out for other kinds of clothing?  I just noticed I have a miner wearing 2 dressed and 4 robes (not to mention 2 pairs of trousers).
They're all shoddy or lower quality (mostly X and XX), so I do't mind so much, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

[Toady One]

That's a different issue -- when they put on their new clothing, they just layer it over their old clothing if possible.  They shouldn't be so attached to the old stuff, since it isn't that cold.
