Function
  • Distribute equipment to the military

The Arsenal Dwarf is an administrative Template:L that manages Template:L changes of your Template:L. The position becomes available only after your population hits 20+ dwarves, until then your dwarves will simply equip whatever you tell them to right away. Once the slot on the nobles screen opens, the Template:L will not carry out equipment changing orders without her processing them at her office.

He makes no Template:Ls and Template:L only a meager Template:L to work in.

Note that if you don't have the option for and Arsenal Dwarf yet, just keep an eye on the nobles screen every time you get migrants, and assign an Arsenal Dwarf once the position opens.

  • There have been reports of the Arsenal Dwarf not appearing despite the population criteria being fulfilled; this is 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
  • It may seem like a good idea to have your arsenal dwarf in the military, but he 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 duties to the manager, who gains Organizer skill relatively quickly through assigning jobs in the manager interface.
