It is in a stockpile, I'll see if removing it will help.

Removing the stockpile didn't help.

All my hunters are in my marksdorf squad, but I've now removed all ammunition from the hunters, and increased the ammunition to the squad. They're also set to use bolts of all materials and quality in combat and training... We'll see what happens now.

nah just use casts. they seem to help with infections better.

Don't casts need water?

not that I know, though maybe. in that case he's still screwed.

that will probably help

[Louist]

Hmm, Marksdorfs still not training. I'm lucky to see half of them doing archery practice at a time. It's not just the same ones, either. They seem to switch it up.

Plaster casts require a bucket with water in it in order to be made.  If you have a water source, your bone doctor will take a bucket and attempt to fill it, although AFAIK this part is still bugged.  You can make casts if you have buckets sitting around with water in them as a result of canceling filling a pond or something.  If you don't have water, you can't make casts.

try not assigning them a barracks, only a range.
also: for marksdwarves use station orders, not kill orders.

@Sphalerite: may have been bugged in .18 as I remember casts without having water on map. strange.

Never put hunters/miners/woodcutters in your militia, they have a hidden uniform of their own that conflicts with the militia uniform. You might want to try disabling their hunter profession and reassigning the militia uniform.

Alright. I just tried both removing the barracks and reassigning uniforms. Besides an initial flurry activity where all the marksdorfs seemed to rearrange their uniforms, everything is still the same.

Very odd! My melee dorfs haven't been having this issue at all.

[tolkafox]

Marksdwarfs shouldn't be assigned to barracks, assign them to an archery rain and have them train there. Honestly though, I've only gotten dwarfs to fire off a few bolts a year, it's much easier to trap an animal and have them train on that. Just send them out to shoot some cavies or marmots.

[Diverso]

Can anybody tell me is there a way to train on caged animals (gobbos, hippies)? I tried linking 2 goblin cages to a lever and releasing them in from of my 10 marksdorfs, ended up with 7 of 10 dead dorfs :/

[Zeranamu]

Possibly a bug (I haven't looked), but I've got two dorfs in my fortress that, when I assign a bedroom to one of them, it assigns it to both of them. Is there any explanation for this? The only thing I can think of is that I had made one of them a squad leader before assigning them a bed, and turned on the option so he could use his room if he wanted to. Does that have anything to do with it?

After you build the cage, [d]->[ b ]->[d] the cage tile to dump their equipment out.

Are the dwarves married? Married couples share a room.

[tolkafox]

Go to the stocks screen and forbid all weapons and shields that are held by goblins (Everything that wasn't made by you). This will leave their armor which makes them last longer. Or you {d} {b} {d} over the cages and then {k} {d} to undump them in they're in a stockpile or {t} {d} if the cages are built. This makes them naked though.

The dwarfs that are sharing a bed are a couple. I usually put two beds in the room in case they argue.

Haha. I didn't even check.. if they are, do I need two beds or will they share?

Edit: Nevermind!

[Sutremaine]

Will moody dwarves make tools? If not, are there any other moddable categories of item that they won't make?

I've seen artifact picks on here, not sure if anything else is moodable.
