[40d] Elite/Champion oddity...
« on: September 24, 2008, 02:17:13 pm »

So. I make a military on the cheap, starting with 5 wrestlers. I blink, and when I look back, I've got 4 champs, and an elite wrestler. People know about this. Elite Wrestler is 'High master' I think in wrestling. So, I switch him to crossbow... and he does very well with that crossbow, able to send out bolts at a high rate.

Issue is, this very nice military dwarf is now a legendary crossbow user... and is still called an elite wrestler. Has anyone else come across this? (Oh, and I can make the save available, if anyone is interested; mind you, the fortress in question is kinda slow)

Yeah, this has happened to me, too.

It appears to be bug 331.

It seems to me that 40d made champion wrestlers a lot easier to make?  Because I have 40c and I have yet to get a champion even though they spar all the time.  Eventually they'll get there I assume, but not at the speed others are saying with 40d...

Definitely.

I hope this gets fixed with the next release, since some squad fixes are being done?  Btw, separate barracks for training sounds awesome!  But I feel like speedy trained legendary wrestlers is an exploit and keeps me from 40d.

Oh and here is another post about it.
