[solved]Guys at the barracks don't train.
« on: September 13, 2010, 10:41:10 am »



Here is my ferociuos and very dangeriuos army, yet there are a few problems with them:

* I think some of them are not equiping their weapons (they have them in inventories, but their images don't show weapons, maybe the graphics are just wrong?)
* The guys are not training. I did everything that was said in Wiki: Designate barracks, put a T letter on their squad, turn them on the Active/Training mode and put Train in their schedules, though all they do is stand and (presumably) smile.

Any help would be appriciated :).

Tilesets don't display equipped weapons - they display the profession of the dwarf. Thus, if the dwarf is still a Recruit (due to not having enough weapon experience yet), it won't show them with any weapon. If the weapon is in the dwarf's inventory, then the dwarf is wielding the weapon and will use it during combat.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Thanks :). Must've thought of this, that means that the recruits are wielding their weapons. But what about the second question?

What does it say they're doing? Like, if you push v-c, u, or j?

Organizing Dodgind Demonstrations??? What the heck? Is that like training? If i recall correctly they've used to train by the classic bash-me-bash-you principle. Or is this the way training goes in 2010?

They will start out by demonstrating for each other -- one dwarf will Lead a demonstration, and the other(s) will Watch a demonstration.

Later, they will Spar.

Dwarves may also do Individual Weapon Practice, which is not as good as Sparring, but doesn't require a similarly-skilled partner.
