training and keeping military dwarfs happy
« on: June 04, 2010, 10:16:57 pm »
how many months out of a year should I have dwarfs trian and how many months out of the year should allow them personal time?  should do x months off (all at once?) or should do somthing like x months on y months off?

From the description of the event, I think that your copy of Dwarf Fortress was on drugs when this happened. That's surely the only logical explanation for a human werewolf with deadly farts dying from it's own excrement after slaughtering some goblins comrades.

You shouldn't set them to train. Period. At least until some of the military bugs related to group training are worked out. In their personal time, they'll just do individual combat drills, so giving them personal time is a bit pointless. Just throw them into the squad, and leave them alone until you need them. They'll grab equipment (if you assign it), and go off and do individual combat drills, except when they're thirsty, hungry, or tired.
