Sudden hunting skills?
« on: November 04, 2012, 03:05:46 pm »
About a dozen dwarfs in my fortress have suddenly gained ranks in Ambusher.  Could it have anything to do with the recent necromancer sieges?

Hrm... sure they didn't come like that as a migration wave?
Thought discovery necromancers worked on their Observer skill... maybe if you do it enough you could get a TAD Ambushers skill too?

Definitely gained after arrival, it's probably 20 or so dwarfs now.  Some of them are up to great ambushers.  I have no dwarfs with that skill enabled.

Did you set any of them to be hunters? They're the only job that I know of that gives ambusher skill. And if there're no wild creatures on map, or they don't have weapons, they won't actively hunt.

They're all assassins hired to kill each other, and have been scouting each other's rooms.

AND IF THIS FAILS MY IDENTICAL TWIN BROTHER WHO WILL APPEAR IN THE MIGRANT WAVE THAT ARRIVES AFTER MY DEMISE WILL REPLACE ME.
