« on: June 08, 2010, 01:22:50 pm »
how do i keep them from training to the point of exhaustion?

the schedules screen is a mystery to me...

any explanations, or am I wasting my time with this "feature"?

I leave them all off duty, giving them move or kill orders only when required for active defense.  Never schedule them to train, the feature is bugged.  If you leave them off duty and enable training on the barracks, the soldiers will periodically perform spontaneous individual training sessions, which do seem to give some experience.

Sphal is exactly right. Leave everyone off duty when you want them to train. Individual training seems to take place when the dwarf is idle so it seems to be best to disable all other labors for dwarves you wish to have train currently.

It's a bit tragic this system is so bugged, it has awesome potential for being useful =(
