Very first thing I do in the new version is make a dwarf attack a racoon.

They get locked in infinite wrestling combat (the racoon is unconscious and the dwarf just keeps trying to gouge the eyes, maybe in desperate attempt to reach the brain). They keep going on forever and at the end the racoon dies.

Result is that the dwarf is already legendary fighter and wrestler.

This probably needs some radical balance, both on the skill growth and to avoid infinite combat loops. A legendary wrestler surely knows how to kill an unconscious racoon...

I noticed the same thing in adventure mode; after a very short period of time wrestling you become a Legendary Wrestler/Fighter...while the Striking skill, for example, takes forever to go up. I beat up a poor sleeping Dwarf from mid-day until nightfall and he was not only still alive, but I hadn't gained a single skill level. (I'd gained some points, but the skill hadn't gone above novice)

From what I recall, even back in the 2D versions, you only got combat experience if you were striking a target capable of defending itself - attacking an unconscious opponent doesn't give you any experience unless you're Wrestling.

My adventurer conscripted a jeweler and went off to fight a 181-kill bronze colossus. After the colossus one-shotted the jeweler, i was plinking away at it for forever with a halberd.
The brute charged, i dodged, and it went into the wall and i backstabbed it until it got up again. It must have missed me literally a hundred times, and i plinked it for about thrice as many.
I had managed to break all of its parts except two.
The he picked me up by a tooth and threw me into a tree and i blew up.

I was a legendary wrestler and fighter despite never wrestling by the end of it. I strongly feel that both fighting and wrestling needs some serious overhauls.
My brother fought a group of three legendary giants, and had his starting seven dwarves go legendary in fighting as well.

Is it still possible to throw enemies far away with a weapon ?

[greenwatering]

all of combat is broken in this version. i am seriously thinking of just waiting a month or two until the next few releases are out.
