Militant Migrants?
« on: April 12, 2010, 10:45:34 am »
So, after being at work too much to download version 0.31.02, or even get to play too much with DF2010, I devoted yesterday and today to it. I've noticed something unusual.

All of my migrants come with the skill(s) their job title entails, as well as a ton of military skills. For example, I just got a Herbalist who is skilled at what he does, as well as being lightly trained in the use of two weapons, shields, and armor, not to mention a few levels of Biter and Fighter. I know I can't be the only one to encounter this oddity. Is it just a bug, or are we going to have migrant veterans from now on?

Just because that tamed alligator killed someone earlier doesn't mean it wouldn't make a great pet now.

Yep, my military is composed of veteran migrants.

Migrants have a lot of random-level skills of random types. I just got a Novice Organizer who apparantly served as a hammerdwarf, and a High Master Blacksmith with ranks in Growing.

I've gotten dwarves with skills in Archer and Blowgunning, even.
