Isn't this what an appointed position of Champion is for?

Quote
The champion is a noble position appointed by the Baron (that is, you can appoint it, but you can't do so without a baron or greater noble being present). A champion has no special room requirements, but may make a single demand eventually. As the title of champion is now bestowed by appointment rather than merit, you may want to have your best teacher be the champion and conduct weapon demonstrations to boost the morale of training soldiers while your toughest killers go out and fight goblins.

It doesn't spring the happy thought "Was shouted by a DI latelly".

Happy thought?  What're you smoking?  But yeah, there would need to be associated thoughts too.

With some nifty modding an organised military structure would be possible...

There are some pretty awesome thoughts burried in here! NCOs should also get happier the worse their living conditions are.

Must.  Do.  This.

What's the best way to go about this?  I've had a hard time modding entity castes.  It's a headache.

It's treated as completely normal because this is Dwarf Fortress.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with a wall of flames, only to later realize that you're surrounded by a wall of flames.
There's nothing that can't be solved by hurling fifteen roc birds at it.

PRIVATE BOURG, YOU STOP THAT SNORING THIS INSTANT, YOU 'ORRIBLE MAN.

YES SAH!

I'd do three types of thoughts, personally.

For patriotic types; 'Was inspired by a hero recently.'

For experienced / long time soldiers; 'Was impressed by a superior officer lately.'

For non-soldiers / soldier with bad/lazy personality traits; 'Was yelled at/bored by superior officer lately.'

What about a way for dwarves to get oiled up and have heavily homoerotic volleyball matches?

Aurora on small monitors:
1. Game Parameters -> Reduced Height Windows.
2. Lock taskbar to the right side of your desktop.
3. Run Resize Enable

Needs more of the drill sargeant telling the recruits their mothers are elves.

That is an insane and dangerous plan.  I approve wholeheartedly.

Tough. As to the oil thing, if you're inspired on that greek thing, well...dwarves can spar wrestling naked if their clothes already desintegrated and you didn't issue any armor...

 We need the potters to memorize these events too.
