Choices for jobs
« on: May 30, 2011, 08:54:20 pm »
When i choose my miners i look at each dwarves attributes and try and find someone with high strength and agility.Now, do any of you look at the dwarves attributes to decide their jobs because it seems like a miner with high agility/strength works better and faster.So what Stats for what job do you guys all look for?

For long, repetitive jobs (mining/woodcutting), slow to tire.
Quick to heal goes straight into the military. I've seen 'incredibly quick to heal' cause a dwarf to get right back up after losing an arm, she didn't even bleed. Disease resistance works well in FB extermination squads, which I separate from the rest of the military. They get spears for piercing its organs, rather than axes for dismemberment.
Spatial sense for masonry.

The only stat that I care about is altruism; altruistic dwarves will be much, much faster at taking healthcare jobs than other dwarves, meaning that healthcare actually works when your doctors are altruistic. Everything else can be worked around.
