Capitalization
Just to set a precedent - Arsenal Dwarf is a proper title and should always have its A and D capitalized on the wiki. A lot of users are confused about what the AD does or what happens before/after it appears and it'd be best to draw their eye to the title. --Retro 06:48, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
- If it's a title, and both words are capitalized in the game, then that's how it should be in the article name, no doubt. That's always been the guideline, just rarely happens that way.--Albedo 07:50, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not trying to correct any listed mistakes, just wanted to make it generally known and the main article page didn't seem an appropriate place for that :P --Retro 00:44, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Requirements
Can someone verify the requirements? I have 45 dwarves but I can't appoint an arsenal dwarf. Bouchart 23:10, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
- There's no note on this page (dunno why) but there's a bug that causes your arsenal dwarf position to randomly open up sometime after you pass 20 dwarves. Just keep checking. Nobody knows why this is yet. --Retro 23:18, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
In the mean time they'll pick up their equipment on their own, so it's not a big deal. 24.255.86.193
Effects of removing aresnal dwarf from raws
Other users have reported that their militaries fare better if they remove the arsenal dwarf from the raws altogether. The need for an arsenal dwarf doesn't seem to be hardcoded so the military will always gather their own equipment if you leave him out. Should this be mentioned? --Commondragon
Her?
Why the strictly female reference? "the military will not carry out equipment changing orders without her processing them at her office." 98.124.25.50 21:59, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
