I really wish when i assign 2500 bolts to a squad of dwarves they would keep picking up quivers until they could carry that many. 

Yes, I know it would slow my archers down to a crawl, they are behind fortifications above the enemy.. I dont care...   

They shoot their 25 bolts off (without killing a single creature a lot of the time with the fortress defense mod)  And then just stand there like idiots because I was smart and closed the gates so they cannot suicide charge.

I suppose they could go get more bolts.. But I would prefer since it is already in the interface that we can assign a squad more than 250 bolts we might as well have them freaking carry them.

I suppose the ability to make super large quivers that held 100 bolts would be ok, but I cannot imagine one of them would work well as a quiver.

I would hope "pick up a new quiver" would be a more sensible option, anyway... Especially since I tend to make the tiles where my marksdwarves are assigned to stand quiver stockpiles, anyway, so they literally only have to bend over and pick up the quiver at their feet. 

Still, this is why I use drawbridge "shutters" to make dwarves forget there are goblins on the other end of those fortifications.

More sensible in many instances, but sometimes I want to lock a squad in a random tower without setting up a stockpile...

Although honestly if that was the only thing that was available to me, I would probably be OK....  Just as long as they get ammo somehow rather than standing there like archery targets...

it would be great if we could add "tools" in general to uniform

like backpack, flask or the quiver. because for flavour i sometime want to use a specific flask or backpack to a particular unit, and also this could be used to assign 1-3 quivers to a single dwarf (or in my case drow *coughs*). also it would be great if we could assign ammo quiver in the raws, for example thunderbluss bullets would use a bag or javelins a backpack (or some completly new item we make at item_tool thingie)

but sadly such minor stuff isnt great on the priority list for now

why do i see a dwarf dressed up like rambo with dozens of quivers

can you no longer use the ammo cheat?

I have suggested that we are given control of the quiver before. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this.

Being able to hold more then one quiver, should be moddable, but not in the vanilla. Simply because it would look ridiculous.

In Adv mode, I can carry up to three quivers on me, equipped. I don't see why dwarf mode would be much different aside from stupid AI

Just need some exploding bolt heads and that would be epic!
