No exp points?
« on: December 14, 2014, 03:04:53 am »

I equipped a dorf with a steel battle axe and sent him to kill some echidnas.
But he didn't gain any exp in axedwarf skill. I checked both in game and in therapist, no, he's not even dabbling axedwarf.

By the way, the echidnas will roll into a ball to defend themselves, so you can't decapitate them nor tear their limbs. The only available target is their upper body.


Edit*

I tried another echidna, still no exp. But after killing a deer he received 88 exp. 8)

Check the combat reports; maybe the dwarf wasn't using his battle axe at all.

How long did the battle last?

I remember that dwarves shouldn't gain XP when hitting an unconscious target.

Maybe rolling into a ball cancels out xp gain ?

Not long. About 10 blows hit the targets.

Yeah, that sounds right. It is like kicking a dead dog.
