Some military questions
« on: June 05, 2012, 07:36:29 pm »

1.  In my military screen, when I'm viewing my squads, under where it says how many squads and how many soldiers I have, it says "Squad: 0/10 wrestlers" or "Squad:  1/1 marksdwarfs 1/1 axedwarf 1/1 speardwarf 1/1 bowdwarf 0/6 wrestlers" or something like that.  I get that it's counting up how many dwarves are in my squads and what their military titles are but why 0/6 or 0/10 wrestlers, is wrestlers the default or something?  This leads to my next question
2.  When I scroll over to the right to pick a dwarf to be in a squad sometimes it tells me what competent skills the dwarf has but sometimes it just says "not wrestler".  And idc if my dwarf is a wrestler or not, i really want to know about ALL the skills they have.

If your squad has a uniform with a specific weapon, then it'll expect everyone to develop skill in that weapon.  So you'll get "0/10 Axedwarves" when your uniform has "battle axe" in it.

I've not seen a label with mixed weapons, like "1/1 marksdwarfs 1/1 axedwarf 1/1 speardwarf ...".  If you're seeing that, maybe it's because you've left it on "any melee weapon".  I don't use that.

This squad has no weapon assigned, then.  So the game's looking for wrestling skill.
