Marksdwarfs not shooting targets?
« on: November 16, 2012, 09:53:35 am »
I've checked everything I can think of. All of the shooting directions are set properly, the squad is set to train, they have quivers, ammo, crossbows, etc. and yet they continue to just stand around in the barracks. I think they're mostly training skills that have nothing to do with the marksdwarf skill.

Bug in this version... set them to inactive and they'll practice. Activ, they won't.

You have to define one room per target.

In case it wasn't obvious, I do know that dividing by zero is a mathematical impossibility. I do not know, however, how this dwarven calculator would react if anyone attempted the impossible. Please, someone try! xD
If you look back in the thread, some people did try, and they got 8008135, which is significant only in that the digits resemble the letter in "BOOBIES".
And so dwarf fortress solves yet another of lifes great mysteries.
