Odd sparring
« on: April 24, 2012, 02:59:43 am »
Up until today, I thought sparring was exclusively a 1 vs 1 engagement.

But I just noticed: I have 5 military dwarves, one squad of 3 and a squad of 2 dwarves. They were all sparring. This means, sparring is not restricted to pairs, and odd sparring may occur.

yes

I noticed the same already too, but it doesn't happen verry often. When 5 are sparring it's usually 1 group of 3 and one of 2 though

And then did ARMOK say, the east is the holiest of directions, and thou shouldst not stand there lest thou be strucketh down by my holiest of beards. And then did the dorfs did say, we shall build from the west, for more do we fear the beard of ARMOK than the strike of the elephant.

Or the champion just sitting in the corner sharpening his axe when the 4 new recruits think he's just some noob and try to pick on him..

You wouldn't want to be the champion in my fortress, I send them out to have 1v1 battles against Ettins, Minotaurs and some Titans and the like. Isn't that what champion means?=P

Yep, it's known. Was scienced up in one of the general military threads a while back.

(Science is a verb now, because science).
