Do dwarves ever hit legendary at shooting the breeze?
« on: January 11, 2009, 11:48:02 pm »

Can a dwarf get legendary stats ups by being idle or does it only increase the skill.
A fort sized lounge would be fun to do.

They can, shockingly. But to do it well you want to make a Tiny meeting hall, to create a dwarven clusterf*ck

A one tile meeting zone is obviously the most efficient for this purpose. That way, all your idle dwarves can talk to each other and everybody else they're lying down on top of.

When this happens, they gain stats very quickly.

I understood nothing, contributed nothing, but still got to win, so good game everybody else.

You see, they gain stat's because they're not only talking with each other as they lay down on top of each other.

I recently started a new fort that had 25 idlers while my miners were taking care of the giant pit. By the end of the first year every single idler was super legendary with 5+ skills legendary and max stats.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

The obvious next step is to kill one of them, of course.

the next obvious step is to mod in [SLOW_LEARNER] into some pet species, and watch THEM gain legendary stats.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

The kids in my fortress are all legendary or nearly by the time they reach the age of maturity.
