Dwarves won't practice with crossbows
« on: February 12, 2009, 02:24:04 pm »
For some reason my dwarves refuse to train with their crossbow.
I have literally thousands of bone bolts, an archery range, crossbows.

The dwarves in question are multple legendaries with legendary in the Hammerdwarf skill.
Would that prevent them from training properly?

Also: I'm using the Civilisation forge mod.

Whats going on?

Edit: They also refuse to even pick up ammo

Have you switched their weapon to Crossbow in the military screen and made sure there was nothing assigned to their other hand?

I've has this happen recently to me.  It took me a while to figure out that my archery ranges only work in one direction.  Check your targets to see if they're operating in the right direction.

Odd. Nothing in Civilization Forge should do that, since I've never had any issues with dwarves not using the archery ranges.

They aren't on duty, are they?

Try having them go on duty for a bit and then take them off again.

Well, you could put them on duty and have them run around shooting wildlife. It'll take a while for them to level up, but it might drill into their heads that they're supposed to be marksdwarves.

They don't recognise ammo as existing either.

I've decided to leave them as hammerdwarves for now, since they just killed off an entire siege and all.
