is it common to have a army of all champions?

[Heliman]

If they're wrestlers yes.
if you use a wep you'll usually have at least one retarted bloke that got a nerve injury via sparring.

I wrestled them up for a while, then gave them the weapons... I was hoping the wrestling would help them avoid those injuryies. Does a dark grey brain injury prevent learning? If so it's time for a magma dip.

[irdsm]

It's common for me. I train them to champions in wrestling and then assign them training with silver weapons. The wrestling/shield/toughness they got from training keep them from getting a spinal injury and then they can train their weapon (I always pick which new recruit gets what weapon so I can make sure to have a silver practice weapon for them when they are ready and a good steel weapon for battle. Not that they see battle, mind you, since the legendary marksdwarves take care of that (through the sheer work of target practice, both live and inanimate)

[Gergination]

You can still train nerve damaged dwarves to become marksdwarves.

On that note, I don't know if giving a brain damaged dwarf (I know it's redundant) a crossbow is a good idea.

[atat]

markdwarves? Bah, never use em unless I'm feeling checky, or course I use traps galore.

Quote on nerve damage from wiki:

Wounds to the nervous system (the neck, brain, or spine) will never heal. If these wounds are not too severe the dwarf will be able to continue his daily routine without any problems. Military dwarves with nervous wounds will never spar, however. Melee dwarves with nervous injuries may still be valulable as a Marksdwarf. If a dwarf has yellow or red nervous damage, he will be a permanent invalid, and a particularly ruthless fortress leader may wish to arrange for his demise so as to prevent him from forever requiring other dwarves to bring him food and water.

seems like a good old lava bath for him then.

[Albedo]

Test him on the archery range as a dealbreaker.  Or save him to pad out the guards if he has no skill or attributes.

[Gergination]

If you can, just make him a civilian again.  You can never have too many haulers.

[Byakugan01]

Aye, that's a problem with my current fort. Sieges tend to, ah "interfere" with getting new immigrants, and virtually every dwarf is employed since it's been getting up off the ground after a tantrum spiral. I have like five dwarves who haul, and it's not REALLY enough. Not when I mine a new seam of ore, at any rate.

Leather armour, masterwork steel.
Only the best survive, by my god are they not the best.

It's quite easy to train lot of champions yes. [Well maybe not for beginners, but ah well... ]

[Cogsmith]

waitwaitwait.

Dark grey brain injury? DARK grey?

His brain is GONE and he's still alive? (whereas I've had dwarves die due to yellow right ears)

Screenshot or it didn't happen.

[Gergination]

Didn't somebody have a post a couple of weeks ago about having a dwarf that had his brain knocked out and was still alive?
