Squad Sparring And Weapon Familarity
« on: January 26, 2018, 01:57:07 am »

Would be cool to have squads spar against eachother, could have an activity zone meant for such a thing, as well as making more sense than dwarves sparring in their sleeping quarters. Allows them to gain weapon levels through fighting varied opponents.

The benefit would be dependent on something I'd like to see, which is for weapon skill levels to also affect the dwarf's ability to defend against said weapons. Essentially, a dwarf would also know how to defend himself against his given weapon rather than only how to use it. I'm sure there's something like this already implemented (legendary warriors are good at fighting and not getting hit), but it'd be an interesting thing to see having more than one weapon skill be applicable at a time.

What would be tremendous is if they did it spontaneously (perhaps a single option in the military menu to disallow it). Would be so much fun to see one squad suddenly raid the barracks of another or ambush their patrol resulting in almost, nearly, non-lethal scrapping.

I'd love that, would give a lot of good skills too.
