Changing uniforms as part of schedule?
« on: April 15, 2010, 04:31:42 pm »

It has probably come up somewhere in the forum while I wasn't paying attention, but is this possible?
It seems to me that it takes a while for the dorfs to change equipment since the arsenal dwarf has to manage it first, and I learned from an ambush that it's probably smart to have properly armed dorfs stand ready. So is it possible to give them one weapon while they train and another for real combat?

From what I understand, they should switch out to training materiel on their own. I don't know if this is functional though, I'm still waiting for mac version. /sigh

How do you mean? They definately kept the wooden weapons when I made them attack, but perhaps if I give them both wooden and normal weapons?

You should only have to give them normal weapons and if training weapons are available, they'll switch to training weapons for training on their own.

Of course, since training seems a little buggy (heh) who knows what they'll actually do ;)

Well, they were using iron weaponry and sent the militia commander to the hospital almost at once, where he has been laying around ever since...

My military always seems to get stuck in individual training so I have yet to have anyone injury themselves or anyone else at all.

I'll have to make some training weapons and see if they pick them up. Though with the speed - or lack thereof - of my arsenal dwarf I have no idea how long that might take.
