Professional Tracker. ...Wut
« on: September 16, 2012, 02:15:44 am »

Was looking over the stats of a few dwarves, and I noticed that one of my dwarves was a Professional Tracker. I assumed it was a combat skill, because she has a bit of military experience, but I looked it up on the wiki and can't find a page or anything. What is it?

The tracking skill is for tracking people and animals on the map. But for the moment its only use is in adventure mode.

Um, it's right here on the wiki: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Tracker. Apparently, it's not only useless in fortress mode, but also in adventure mode.

By that logic, you shouldn't be able to play dwarves because they don't show thinking ability.

Hmm. Must have typo'd and not noticed or something.

Toady plans to add tracking for entities such as animals and people that are in semi loaded screens making it easier to hunt and stuff in adventure mode.
