i dont get the training stuff
« on: April 10, 2010, 06:29:09 am »
so i have a barracks (from a chest), training axes, all in squad should use axes in uniform, a squad of 7 dwarfs and a training shedule of "minimum 7 dwarfs"

and still maybe two go sparing (with hands), if they are not idle in the barracks with "waiting for combat training" the other 5 rather sit around with "no job" in the dining room as to go sparing.

is it a bug, did i something wrong? help please :/

minimum of seven... i don't know exactly what your problem is but from that it sounds as if they won't spar with any less than seven so if even one is occupied (drinking, sleeping, generally being a dwarf) none will spar. you could try making minimum of 3 or 4 and see if that works

well then you misread me? 2 spar 5 sitting around with "no job" ... and no even "minimum 1" does not work properly its like totally random if they go training and more than often they dont go at all

and i have all noble posts occupied

Training is pretty buggy. In order to get the military to train, you have to deactivate them. Also, make sure they have no labors enabled.

The should, if they have good discipline, go to the barracks and do something like "personal training drills" on their own.

Be sure that you deactivate them for this to work.

all 7 have nothing to do and sit with their civil stuff in the dining room, just 2 go for a spar match once in a while and become recruits for that, the rest sit still in the dining room

If you only have one squad have you tried splitting it and putting them on rotation (one trains while one guards)?

I've noticed a lot of soldier weirdness when there is only one squad.

Yeah, if I were you I would just keep your squads Inactive. They usually do their own thing with whatever weapon and armor equipped.

I have another question -

If I have as part of their uniform a steel weapon, but have training weapons available (though not assigned as part of the uniform), will they switch to training weapons automatically to spar? Or do I have to manually switch uniforms from training to active duty to switch between real and training weapons?
