0002028: Soldiers' weapons become forbidden, probably because they're stuck in an enemy when the enemy dies
On a regular basis, weapons used by military get the forbidden flag, causing them to drop them somewhere and bashing with their shields instead.
Not sure, i *think* it might be connected to the fact that if a weapon is lodged into a wound on an enemy, it becomes part of that inventory for a short while.
If the enemies stuff is forbidden (in the orders menu), so becomes that weapon.
So far happened to battle axes, short swords and spears for me.
No tags attached.

This is a good guess -- it probably happens if it's part of their inventory when they die.
