Apprentice artisans for plots
« on: November 29, 2018, 06:17:35 pm »

G'day all,

Recently I've been considering that the apprenticeship mechanic used by scholars should be applied to skilled dwarves, where they gather apprentices in masonry, carpentry and the like.
My suggestion stems not as a mechanic for skill development, but an additional way for dwarves to form relationships.
With respect to the new villians framework, I believe that scheming villains plotting to steal a masters artefact may pose as apprentices to gain access, or may utilise their relationship in similar plots.

I've seen may suggestions for apprentices, but nothing for this specific case.

Thanks for reading.

I think this is supposed to be done in the context of the upcoming fortress mode guilds, which is why it is presently absent.

Ah is that so?

I should've asked in the FotF as to whether the apprenticeship mechanic is included in the guilds.

Thanks.
