Press tab to equip the weapon :)
Also, not all goblins work as far as I know.

Found out that many of the goblins can only attack if you give them certain types of weapons, like 1 mystic type needed 2 1h weapons to replace his 2 fire maces or whatnot, then he could attack. Others needed 1h handed weapons and won't attack with a 2h weapon.

You simply have to give every single one a weapon of some sort, test it, then place them in the world, maybe good idea to save some, so that you can export them easily to the world ready for combat.

Rangers seems to be the only ones that can attack without giving them weapons. They have a bow that they attack with.

The best thing to do is;
- Make your 'infantry' goblin. Equip him with typical gear for melee goblins. Save that goblin, export, duplicate on maps that have him. Do not forget to adjust their AI! Melee AI seems to work fine.
- Do the same for your 'ranged' goblins. Ranged AI works fine.
- Create a couple of unique goblins, chiefs etc. Make sure their AI matches what they do. Explosive lobbers get Bomber AI, backstabbers get Rogue AI, etc...

This makes things easy to add in Prepare Mode, and also makes it to where you can add them on the fly in Play Mode. I just recently ran a session where I decided to playtest a half made adventure I was working on. Put duplicate to good use here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Odwbz0J68to

may be you can change it.

What about the orcs? Did anyone figure out how to make them attack? Because they can't seem to use any weapon whatsoever.

Welp, this is a necro post bumping. I don't remember anymore, sorry.
