Teaching skill
« on: October 20, 2010, 10:25:00 pm »
I had thought the teaching skill only related to demonstrations. However, one of my marks dwarves has level 7 in teaching and I NEVER EVER have my marks dwarf squads set to train. Why is it then that this dwarf has the highest teaching level in the fort? Also, he had no teaching levels previously, I check all my migrants for that skill because it makes them good for military use.

Is he teaching the other marks dwarves while on duty?

He is an Elite Marksdwarf if that helps but I don't have any of the Champion nobles on the noble screen (side question is that noble bugged? I haven't ever gotten one).

One of the dwarfs walked in front of Thor to get a better view of the prye, and Thor kicked him irritably into the middle of the flames, which made Thor feel slightly better and made all the dwarfs feel much worse.

He probably came in with it, I can tell you with pretty high confidence that he didn't acquire it through use - my current map I started everyone with Teaching:5 to mess around with it, and after 4 years of steady military training, it's only gone up one point on any of them (even so, that's only for two of them).

And in case you're wondering, I'm highly dubious that it actually has a very useful effect; their skills aren't going up dramatically faster than the other squad with no special teaching skill (highest is 1).
