[edit] how to make dwarves wear plate
I've set a lot of dwarves to wear plate in order to get it out of my stockpile. As soon as I draft them, they put it on, but when I relieve them, they put it back in the stockpile. is there any way to make them wear it when they're not soldiering? is there any reason they shouldn't wear it around town, as it were? --Tachyon 18:23, 6 August 2008 (EDT)
- I believe you can do this by turning on their "Hunting" labor, but at the same time they will actively hunt things. Since wildlife (apparently) can be depleted rather quickly, this might work. Pavlov 22:54, 6 August 2008 (EDT)
- You would think that 100 dwarfs running around in plate with crossbows would quickly deplete the local wildlife, so it might work. Only problem is they might get attacked by goblin raids while all on their own. I'll give it a try once my current fort starts cranking out armour. Dangerous Beans 01:08, 7 August 2008 (EDT)
