How do I train biting?
« on: April 06, 2011, 06:47:53 am »

The military guy from my starting seven turned out to be the expedition leader.  I made her my military commander anyway, and in between not speaking to the diplomats she managed to lose both her hands.  I replaced her as military commander and let her be a civilian, but now a different dwarf has been elected mayor.  I kind of want to put her back in the military now and train her in biting (she can't hold weapons!)  How should I do this?  Can I get her to bite instead of kick?  If I put her in my danger room, will she block the training spears with her teeth and skill up?

MAGMA. Sorry. Just had to say that. Danger rooms and normal training.

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.
So I just started playing this game and I accidentally nuked the moon.

Don't dorfs train biting just by eating? Just gobble up a few plump helmets and you will be legendary fatass biter in no time.

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.

Cut both of her feet, heal the wounds and give her two crutches. Without feet and arms, she'll push bite.

I doubt biting can be trained in a danger room though. You might want to put her in a small 3x3 room with loads of near-harmless animals (like poults/chicks), so that they may fight and she will train.
