I find the Darwinian approach very effective. Plus it is self-imposing and does not require much micromanagement.

Something I forgot to mention earlier - the buckets used in the brigade should be the ones whose creation was mandated by the noble being given the bucket brigade water treatment.

Yes, extra dwarves I don't care to manage or house or deal with are simply assigned to hunt.  Most die, but every now and then I get some amazing wrestler who's carrying back bears to my butcher.  If such a hunter lasts long enough for me to notice them they have earned my respect and a place within my halls.

I think this method pleases Armok.

 :mad:  Did you ever consider retraining them?  None of these skills are trade skills, so they're naturals for being given dabbling in some valuable skill you're hoping for a strange mood on and then becoming haulers, or getting beefed up on a pump or through gathering or woodchopping, or joining the army.  And, because they already have skill experience, they're ahead of the game when it comes to getting attribute boosts.

I hate it when people just slaughter dwarves or let them stand around idle for years because they can't be bothered to change a few labor assignments.
