Ok, so im ready to equip my first company with adamantite armor.
I created a new uniform, assigned adamantite everything to it, but now im kinda stumped on weapons.
I want them to carry adamantite slashing/stabbing weapons, but silver war hammers/maces.
So do i add
a) individual choice - admantite melee
AND
b) silver war hammers,
so that each dwarf selects either an adamantite axe or a silver hammer, or will they each grab 2 weapons then?

[smakemupagus]

they'll grab both, they will try to fill every item slot that you define in the uniform.

But they will only equip one, right?

As far as I'm concerned, they can only grab one equipable per hand, provided that it's one-handed.

OP: In these cases, what I do is manually set the weapon for each soldier. Having Toady put some aditional logic options for that issue would be mint, though ("Equip adamantine sword [EXCLUSIVE OR] silver hammer").

Guess ill set individual choice melee then, and manually give them their tool of (my) choice.

2 5-man squads ? One with each Uniform?

Dwarfs are magical creatures capable of equip any number of items in a hand. For example, my cureent militia commander only has one
arm, and yet can carry a shield and a weapon. Another carries two silver warhammers and a shield. Another a sword, a shield and a crutch.

They can equip anything any amount of times in a single hand without penalty. They will equip both if you assign both.

But what will he use then?
If my legendary +5 hammerdwarf tries to stab someone with a shortsword and a skill of 2, hes of little use to me...

Assign the warhammer first, and it'll be the preferred weapon.

They will use both situationally. If the warhammer lets stuck in some goblins innard, out will come the sword. Also as people have mentioned you can equip them with many many weapons, and more importantly many many shields, all of which will help block attacks.
