DF Gameplay Questions / Noble not doing anything
« on: January 01, 2012, 03:17:25 pm »
Hi

Have a little problem with my baroness/countess/major.
I scouted her for the job because she likes nice and easy things like bucklers, iron, quivers and stuff.
She is also my fortress only bowyer/skilled weaponsmith. Shortly after getting promoted she got possessed and made a nice crossbow.
So good so far.
I moded in the Philosophers Garden to train up some social skills with her as the only one allowed to use it.
Sadly she is not using it at all. When I allowed others to use it the train without problems. I even rebuilt it at a place closer to her quarters.
Still not using it. She is on break the whole time just to take a break from it to eat/sleep/drink and strangely to conduct meetings.
I thought, okay if you donīt want to use it and told her via manager to forge some war hammers....She is ignoring me.
I placed a bowyer workshop directly in her bedroom. She is not building it. She is still on break and relaxing in her bedroom.
I turned all/specific labors off and on again in game and with DTe. She is still on break.

No idea what to do anymore. My nobles always worked in my other fortresses and this specific Noble forged weapons/built crossbows before getting promoted.
She is not in any burrow, I restarted DF and I already used the P. Garden in my last fortress without any problem.

Am I missing something important detail here, am I just stupid or is there something wrong here?

DF Gameplay Questions / Sparring with Goblin audience?!
« on: October 25, 2011, 10:19:35 am »
Hi.

As I read some reports on how my sqauds are doing battling the goblin siege, I suddenly saw something strange. One Report: The Military Commander is fighting ( spearing a goblin spearman.) The following report is: The Military Commander is sparring...against one of my Axedwarfes. The next report is him fighting normally again against the Jabberer.

That whole sequence was repated by two other guys.

Now I wonder...why are they sparring while on the next tile is a goblin/rutherer ect?
Are they so bored with the fight or what? They won anyway but is that supposed to happen at all?
I mean that was only a small battle, but it would be nice if that would not happen while fighting a forgotten beast or something.
