So the king arrived to my fortress. I looked at his list of skills just for the heck of it and apparently he's Great Tracker, among other things. I tried to dig up information about this skill but the results mostly point to bug tracker, nothing about the skill. What's going on? What is the function of this skill? Playing 40d version here.

I think it helps at hunting and trapping animals.

Yeah, well, doesn't explain why no other dwarf has the skill, or why it isn't even listed in Magmawiki, or mentioned anywhere for that matter. Well... I did find a mention of it in String Dump section of Magmawiki. But that's all. Maybe it's just an unimplemented skill that's there due to an oversight or even a bug?

Hehe, I was just trying to figure the same thing out-- since my queen, in DF2010, is likewise a great tracker

It appears to be a social skill:

But there's nothing else about it.

theroretically it's a "legends" skill, as the king is a historical figure, he possibly wandered the wilds hunting beasts and gained trackings skills, that have no effect at all in fortress and possibly adventurer mode. yet.
