A High Master Mason/Adept Organizer just walked into my fortress.

I like this version.

Edit: A High Master weaver arrived in the same wave. Brilliant.

Just wait until you get the guy that is a master of all combat skills, or the high master weapon smith.

Won't be putting your migrants in the lava chamber any more, will you?

Seems like toady was tired of us snubbing the offer of help by immigrants, and decided to make sure we'd never again set up elaborate kill chambers for immigrants.

I'd still like an option to disable migrants and/or caravans in certain forts, to either save fps, breed dwarves exclusively, or make a sealed-off fortress to the outside world without actually sealing it off.

Neato, I wanted to start a topic dedicated to the new immigrants too. A small autumn migration granted me Adil Dostoboddom:

And she's barely out of the ground: a mere 59 years old.

If had a few high/grand masters of almost all useful trades in the first year. I'm not the one to complain, but I feel that spending points on embark skills was a waste.

[Pnx]

My favorite so far is the peasant whose only skill is:
Great swimmer

Just spend them all skill points on kicking and biting.
Then assert dominance over the zone.

(okay, now I HAVE to start a fortress with 7 biters/ambushers and a butcher's workshop).

Has anyone else noticed the "Teaching" skill? What exactly does that do.. does that mean that we can now have dwarven classrooms?.. CAUSING MY SIG TO BECOME REAL?

Hi!

A while ago, Toady One posted in the development log, I think, about a dwarf who overcame being a dabbling crossbow user (I think) and then went off to gather a crowd and tell them about crossbow usage. So, I think that skill is related to that, although my dwarves have been far too busy to do any of that (^_^;;

Teaching is used by military Dwarves for training other Dwarves in the skills they've been trained in.  It basically determines how much of their skill in their fighting talents they can imbue into their students, as well as how fast (well, kinda; the student's ability to pick up on combat skills also influences that).

[moki]

I think, teaching is for military only. There's always a drill instructor organizing and the rest of the squad waiting for the training to begin and then training. It probably makes training more effective. My military leader went from zero to "adequate teacher". Having dwarfs teach civilian skills would be cool though.

[Lost Requiem]

I think I win. One of my migrants was an accomplished Wound Dresser and Suturer. Yay, free doctor!

[Walliard]

High Master Soaper.

How fortunately that the dwarven Renaissance has come, else that would have varranted a forced carrer choice; military or the graveyard.
