No speed is still vanilla. But they reach legendary in a couple of RL minutes, at least in wrestling.

I just checked some of my other dwarves, and weapon sparring is insanely productive for some dwarves, but not for others. One is a level 63 swordsman, and nobody was given a sword until Morul was, so Morul had as much sparring opportunity as the others, yet is still only level 14, even with all the orc slaughter. There are two others in the high 50s, so there's something about sparring when other skills/xp/stats are factored in. Nobody else is over 1.2M experience though. Some other notables:

level 79 appraiser (other than Morul's stint, I think I've had the same trader for the whole life of the fortress)
level 96 furnace operator plus a level 78 furnace operator (yes, a lot of armor to melt and a lot of adamantine wafers to make)
level 84 grower and level 30 potash maker (2131 clear glass windows, plus clear glass blocks)
Morul's wife is a level 46 weaver and level 38 flatterer and still hasn't gotten knocked up
level 41 strand extractor

I don't think a mere level 38 flatterer could do Morul justice to be honest.

When Morul finally does finally become the Dwarf di Tutti Dwarves, you need to lock him in his bedroom for one last duty.

15 - and Legendary +5 is 20. Wow indeed.

15 is legendary. So they went from nothing to Legendary +48 in 8 years.  I'll have to recheck who is who, but two of the military with the high stats were born in the fortress. One is the child of the mayor, the other lost both parents in the tantrum spiral - dad burst in flames to set off the spiral, and mom died during it.

God damn, with level 38 flatterer, you could probably convince a white supremacist that he looks great in black.

Maybe Morul, who almost never uses a skill he isn't legendary in, has performance anxiety?  :P

A pre-new-version treat for everyone. The first post has been updated. I turn Morul over to the community.

'Martin' Fortressmaster has become a legendary champion! Hail 'Martin' Fortressmaster!

Seriously, though - outstandingly impressive. I would doubt you have anything less but the highest respect from this entire board. Congrats on carrying out the best megaproject ever.

Indeed, Martin truly belongs in the pantheon of Dwarf Fortress, as god of... um... Well, I'm not entirely sure what he's god of, but he's certainly god of something! Morul himself probably counts, too, as god of knowledge or somesuch, or maybe just Interestingness.

Regardless, all hail Morul, the Most Interesting Dwarf in the World!
