Hunting~
« on: November 13, 2010, 01:24:51 pm »
SO UH

In previous versions! I could hunt with a sword, or with fists. Well, my hunters could.

But now, I can't figure out how to make him hunt with something else...


Is there a way? Or was that removed surreptitiously?

They hunt with crossbows.
You have to assign then a crossbow and bolts, through the military screen. then the bolts have to be assigned to hunting.
Yeah, it's usually better to butcher animals and plant plump helmets.

Probably not possible. It was likely removed to keep dwarves from trying to melee with their crossbows.

my champion is now holding his artifact crossbow by his upper left leg and still shooting with is just fine despite having no hands.

Sorry, it seemed like you were asking how to get them to hunt in the first place.
I have no idea how to help then.
