v0.31:Weapon
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Weapons are used by military dwarves and certain other humanoids in Template:L.
Hunters, Woodcutters and Miners also use weapons for their work and if need be will also fight using them. Hunters seem to be limited to crossbows while miners and woodcutters use picks and axes respectively.
If you find your dwarves wearing more than one weapon - or any unwanted armor, for that matter - one way to get rid of them is to dump the weapon from their v-i screen. This does not work always, they may re-equip. Another option is to remove any weapons and shields listed on their military equip screen. This too does not work always. At least "left-handedness" seems to not pose a problem.
Using weapons is much more effective than unarmed combat- an untrained swordsdwarf with an Template:L weapon can defeat a grand master Template:L, provided he wears no armor.
