The Arsenal Dwarf is an administrative Template:L that manages the Template:L changes of your military Template:L. The position becomes available only after your population hits 20+ dwarves. Until this position becomes available, your dwarves will simply equip whatever you tell them to right away. Once the slot on the Template:L opens, the Template:L will not carry out equipment changing orders until they have been approved by the Arsenal Dwarf.

They will make no Template:Ls and Template:L only a meager Template:L to work in.

When selecting a dwarf for the position from the noble screen, both the Template:L and Template:L Template:L are highlighted as relevant.

  • There have been reports of the Arsenal Dwarf not appearing despite the population criteria being fulfilled; this is probably a bug. Don't worry, the position will randomly appear later.v0.31.02
  • If your Expedition Leader/Mayor is killed it can cause all unassigned nobles to vanish from the nobles screen. This could cause your arsenal dwarf position (among others) to be unavailable. This is a bug.v0.31.01
  • This position may not appear until after you have assigned a sheriff.
  • It may seem like a good idea to have your arsenal dwarf in the military, but they won't be able to hand out equipment while on duty or training, which will fundamentally break your military.
  • Assigning equipment uses the Organizer skill and can take a very long time at low levels of the skill, resulting in dwarves wandering around with the wrong equipment for extended periods. One way to speed this up is to assign the arsenal dwarf and manager duties to the same dwarf, which will consolidate organizer skill growth from both tasks.
  • Currently, Miners and Woodcutters may require you to have an arsenal dwarf to allow them to pickup picks and axes.
