DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Best way to teach the Dwarves to swim?
« on: March 26, 2012, 12:06:38 pm »
I like fisherdwarves and rivers, because they supply infinite amount of fresh water and food. However, dwarves tend to fall into the rivers and then drown. I'd like to teach my dwarves to swim, so they have higher chances of surviving should they fall.
Now, I was planning filling a dining hall/statue garden/ etc. with flowing water, which would both keep them clean, and teach them swim. How well would this turn out? Would the dogs and cats drown? How deep does the water need to be to train the simming ability?
I wanted to have that little ramp down there so all the filth would be there, where the dwarves wouldn't (I heard that scum and blood and such doesn't go trough grates)

Spoiler: And does this setup work? (click to show/hide)
