Artifact weapons
« on: July 17, 2008, 08:26:51 am »
A bowyer went fey, and produced an artifact wooden crossbown. How do I get a hunter to use the thing? I've tried forbidding every other crossbow in the fort, which makes him fight unarmed.

I'm pretty sure only champions can use artifact weapons - which is why I've never been able to use one either as I've never had a champion and an artifact weapon in the same fort.

Well, he has already become a legendary marksdwarf. If I have him join the military, can I change him back later?

Legendary marksdwarf or legendary bowyer?

If it's the former, he'll never change back. If it's the latter, he won't pick it up.

Marksdwarf. The groundhog-shooting experience accumulates over time. I think I'll have him join the military and train a new hunter to replace him. What happens if I change his weapons to something other than crossbow and then have him join the army? Will he automatically swap to the weapon with the highest skill or forever use something else?
