Hi,
I got a nice Fortress running right now but got a huge problem:
My Meele Dwarfs will only trains Wrestling they just dont care for the weapons i select for them (they will only pick the weapon up but never use it for Sparing).
I tryt to produce weapons out of every metal i got (iron, copper, silver) nothing they still only train Wrestling even when put to sword or axe.
Can anyone pleas help me a Dwarfen Army whit no Axe and Hammer lords is no real dwarfen army.

How long have you given them? Where did you tell them to do it from?  Try telling them to strip down to clothes level, waiting, requiping them, then telling them to pick up weapons.  They may have some pants in their hand.

Check that too.

I told them from the Military screen.
I gave them all the time they needet most of my dwarfs are Champion Wrestler by now.
Most of them hold thair Weapons and a Shiel in the Hand and still becoming wrestler.

I got this prob for several versions now.
And in many games.

I try to strip them now.

Thanks for the fast respons.

Check their skills. They might be training their weapon skills as well, but wrestling just trains much faster.

And the first page of the skills list may be full with conversation skills. Remember to scroll the list down.

I checket whit DM and it seems like the realy train the weapons...
Can i somehow keep them from Training Wrestling since they stop using their weapons when the become legendary wrestlers?

[zchris13]

Who told you that, it's a lie.  My current dwarves are proof of that.  That was fixed a while ago.

[Nishi]

Oh!
Thats good.

So thanks for your help
I feard i will always be stuck whit only Wrestle Dwarfs.

It's a good idea to train them to legendary wrestlers before training other weapon skills. Training wrestling is insanely fast (at least in comparison) and gives dorfs nice attribute boosts + wrestling itself helps alot against enemy wrestlers.

Also helps them dodge.  Wrestling is the all around "This is how to be awesome at combat" Skill.

or are unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of a bolt or an arrow (or some other, similar item)

Or are knocked back by a dust cloud from a collapsing floor in front of them, knocked unconscious, and happen to fall on your masterwork weapon trap decked out with 10 iron/steel weapons.
