sparring problems
« on: November 28, 2007, 03:44:00 pm »
Military force of my fortress is now 36 dwarves. 6 are marksdwarves, other use melee weapons.
Don't know if it is a bug, but some of my dwarves just stop sparring after they reach some level (different for every dwarf). I managed to train 15 champions so far, but my other 15 military dwarwes (2 of them masters), just don't train anymore. Though my marksdwarwes continue shooting at archery ranges.

P.S. All my squads are standing down, i've got 2 barracks. My version is 33b.

Does anyone else experience same problems?

I've just tried to lock my dwarves in empty barracks... it seems to help, at least some of 'em started sparring.
I still think it is a bug, though.

They probably have a minor internal injury. It will never heal and they will never spar again. Best bet is to make them marksdwarves, they'll shoot at ranges still.

Even light grey spinal injuries will do that, and I think other nervous system injuries hae that effect too.

It never stopped Rocky from sparring. Dwarves are at least as tough as Rocky, right?
