Being the noob I'm I decided to embark on a Serene biome, so 1 year later, without ANY weapons I attack a unicorn. Rusults:

4 Deaths and 200 pages of combat logs.

Yeah. That bad. Anyways to the point, how do I assign weapons to certain dorfs?

[zerin]

Oh, unicorns.

I once had a unicorn get inside, freak the hell out, and murder everyone in its attempt to flee. So I modded unicorns to be trainable and now have an army of war unicorns.

The elves, I imagine, have never been more surprised...

If you were able to "attack" the unicorn, I presume you put them into a squad. When you make a squad, you're asked to pick a uniform (The default templates are "Leather Armor," "Metal Armor," "Archer" and something like "Wrestler.") If you picked leather or metal, they should pick up weapons by default.

If you have a specific weapon that you want to assign to a specific dwarf, you need to go a bit further in. On the equipment screen, select the dwarf you want to arm and go to his equipment on the right side of the screen. Hit >W< to add a new weapon, enter on "Specific Weapon," and then navigate to the weapon you want to give him. If it's not there, somebody else probably picked it up when you made the squad. Either remove that dwarf from the squad or manually go to their equipment screen and remove their weapon assignment by navigating to it and hitting enter.

This is usually not what you want to do, however: You usually want to either leave it on "Individual choice" (the default) or a general weapon category like "Axes." Leaving it on one of these means he'll upgrade to a better weapon if one is available, and you don't have to micromanage as much.

Oh. My. God. It escaped. My soldiers where unable to follow orders (all 10) for some reason, so I decided to let it bleed out. Oh and the best part is, IT HAS A TITLE NOW. One day, I'll take revenge, killed my expedition leader and proficient strand extractor.

Hey, guess what? They're kinda deadly. They're basically horses that can stab you to death.

... with more than just their hooves.

...and proficient strand extractor.

Look on the bright side: at least it got the strand extractor too!

That was when I had a BUNCH of adamantine to process. (Still 70 to go)

[RopeMan]

Now you're going to have to deal with dwarves making artifacts from your raw adamantine

To be fair, you did attack him unprovoked. You've only yourself to blame for his heroic actions earning him a title and fame.

I was provolked, he was attacking my woodcutter and haulers. (It was probably brainwashed by the elves of something..)

I was provolked, he was attacking my woodcutter and haulers, idiot.

They clearly had provoked the unicorn in the first place. Perhaps by namecalling him as you just did.

The unicorn was obviously incensed by your manners.
