Hunting

How does hunting work in the new version? I've made a hunter, he picked up a crossbow on his own and i've assigned him ammo in the military screen and still no luck. Enjia2000 15:13, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

I was able to get a hunter hunting with a quiver and a metal crossbow and bolts. Bone bolts did not seem to work, and after I tried them, he refused to hunt even with the metal bolts. Forbidding and messing with the military-ammunition screen did not help.

It seems like a bug. I've made a bunch of wooden bolts, assigned them to Hunters via Military screen, but it did not help. Turning Hunting off and back again, however, helped. Note that you will have to trigger Hunting labor every time Hunter runs out of bolts. /DenSpb 18:01, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
