First off I'd like to say hello as I'm new to these forums)and to the game as well) and if Toady is lurking I'd like to compliment him on such an incredibly enjoyable game.
Now down to business. Alrighty, here's the deal, I'm going on the third year of my settlement and the last wave of immigrants was a large one, something like 23 or so dwarves, more then I could put to work all at once with meaningful jobs. I set my leader(currently assigned to all noble positions aside from Sheriff which is still unassigned and only became available with the last wave of dwarves) to do bookkeeping full time and now he is legendary. For some reason there is no more need to keep track of the books as he spends all of his time hanging about with "no job". The lazy bum and all of his attributes are close to, if not, max. I'm wondering if this is a temporary thing or if I am able to begin training him in another skill or possibly train him as a wrestler for a bit(got obsidiant swords and a few x-bows but other then that my metal working industry is just starting up. And help or input here would be much appreciated.
Also, I found a wonderful spot but unfortunately forgot to backup the world folder before I began my colony is there anyway to get back to the original world? or possibly find out what seed it was? I'd like to share it with you guys if possible. It's got magma(a pool starting at the second z-lvl and extending down 5 levels, adamantite(quite a lot of it, should be enough to supply my whole army towards the end, bauxite(if you choose to use the magma, I didn't tap it yet and may not), obsidian for early weapons just in case, lots of precious gems platinum and silver, some gold, tons and tons of coal(which is why I chose to forgo to magma at this point), a top layer of soil, sand deposites,plenty of trees and plants, and a river. The land is fairly flat, the elevation doesn't go above 2.
