Dwarves not sparring
« on: July 01, 2008, 01:05:53 pm »

I have 2 dwarves I trained up to expert in wresting and I assigned them hammers to use from now on. However, they won't spar and just stand around. They picked up the hammers so I guess they know they're supposed to use them. What can I do?

Check that they are not On Duty.

Also, [v] over them to check the wounds page. Use + to scroll down the list, and if you see any internal organs listed, then they are injuries. The brain and spine (and something else which I can't remember) are nervous system injuries, which never heal, and if suffering these injuries they will never spar again.

Even if the new skill passes the old skill?

Yeah.  I've got a bunch of "Elite Wrestlers" who first became wrestling grand masters but later became legendary swordsdwarves.

They are not injured and they are not elite. They are also not on duty.
