I was looking at my dwarves' equipment in Dwarf Therapist, and noticed that most of my military dwarves aren't actually wearing the steel gauntlets and high boots that are assigned to them. The odd thing is that the squad leaders of both squads are wearing everything they should, but the other dwarves will wear their helmets, mail shirts, and greaves, but continue wearing their wool mittens and pig-tail shoes.
Has anyone else noticed this? Have you all checked to see if your troops are actually wearing what has been assigned to them?
It's has always been somewhat challenging to get troops to actually put on the uniforms that are assigned to them, but I've usually managed to get them to do it. But the usual methods don't seem to be working now.
The (m)ilitary->(e)quipment->(P)rioity screen shows that they all have the gear assigned to them.
I have the uniforms set to replace clothing, rather than wearing it over it.
I've tried stationing them in the armor stockroom to get everyone on duty and into uniform.
I've even created a uniform with nothing in it and assigned it to both squads, let them take all the armor off, then reassigned the uniforms with the gauntlets and boots. They put the helmets, mail shirts, and greaves back on, but not the gauntlets and boots.
I've tried everything I know of, but still no one but squad leaders will wear gauntlets or boots. What I find really curious is that the squad leader will wear these things, but not the rest of the squad. So I must be doing something right.
Anyone else seeing this?
