Summary0013194: Dwarf won't use the right equipment.
DescriptionI have a dwarf in my military who will hold and use two shields even though they are only assigned a sword and shield. They will only hold two shields and won't use the sword and keep it strapped to their upper body. I think it may have something to do with the fact that one shield is named and the other isn't and they have a higher shield than sword skill. It's weird though as all my other dwarves dropped their old named shields when I switched from iron to steel but not this one and I've tried reequipping the dwarves but that didn't fix it either. It also says that the named iron shield is part of their millitary gear even though I only assigned steel shields. This makes it so that their sword skill won't increase when sparring which is annoying.
Steps To Reproducenot entirely sure but might be
1. have a named shield and non named
2. the dwarf has a higher shield than weapon skill

This might be able to recreate it but not sure.
