New Fort- dorfs wont train
« on: March 04, 2012, 11:03:40 pm »
I embarked with two proficient swordsdwarfs and one is proficient in dodging and the other is proficient in shields and when I set them to train they only do individual training drills.  Why is this? I was expecting them to spar all the time.

They need a barracks area to train in. Build a room, add an armor stand or weapon rack. Designate the room as a barracks from that piece of furniture and then you can decide what squads are able to train in the barracks. I forgot to do this the other day and was wondering why none of my squads were training. If you already have a barracks, check your schedules and make sure that training isn't set to a 10 dwarf minimum since you only have two.

if a militia squad is inactive and correctly set up, those dwarves will do individual training drills.

if a militia squad is active, and ordered to train, and properly set up, they will do demonstrations, individual drills, and sparring.  If they both have a decent level of swordsdwarf they should spend most time sparring if they're the only ones in squad.

This, (m) (a) then make the squad active in the training schedule.
