Elite Marksdwarves + hunting?
« on: January 06, 2008, 04:32:00 pm »
I'd like some good hunters, but it's just too dangerous for an untrained dwarf.  So I'm going to make them train hammers (for when they run out of ammo) and marksdwarfship until just before they hit elite and set them back to hunting.

My question, though: what happens if they get experience from hunting and hit elite status?  Will they suddenly draft themselves and refuse to work?

I've always wondered this. Noone ever reports it happening though.

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

I've had one hunter get to elite marksdwarf level.  He'd still hunt, but when I drafted him to stave off the goblin invasion, I could not undraft him (as I had expected/feared)
