Just build one or more huge legendary bedrooms with enough beds for everyone.

That's an interesting idea. Might be fun to try.

However, I have to say that my dwarves definitely do go to their rooms to sleep. They don't just go to the nearest bed.

This is particularly a problem when your Baron doesn't sleep in his Legendary Bedroom and instead decided to sleep in your mud barracks just because he happened to get tired while he was walking past it.  Then he gets a bad thought about how he *had* to sleep in a terrible bedroom.

Yeah, I'll have to keep an eye out for that. For me, it's still a problem that they don't claim bedrooms, either :/

well from what ive read i dont want anything to do with the economy

That's up to you. I don't agree with the nay-sayers' view but don't bother with it if you don't want to try. It worked well enough in 40d and I expect I'll find out if anything has changed in 31.09.

i have over double 80 dwarves (180+)

no dungeon master, no tax collector

Oh... hmm. Are you missing any nobles? Have you been giving money to the dwarven civs?

I like the economy, except for the lack of coin-stacking. I haven't experienced it in the new version but I'm getting close to 80 dwarves now... we'll see. I'm not sure the system helps with replacing old clothing but it might.

Training is broken.  It just doesn't work as intended.  Like it has been said you have to ignore the scheduled training for now.   However, Individual training is also broken. Normally once a dwarf starts inividual training, they won't ever do anything else again (labor wise,  they will still fight eat and drink). But Individual training is the best way to train up military dwarfs that doesn't involve fighting.

 All this info is right there on the wiki and in this forum.

Thanks, I'm just trying to understand this and the wiki hasn't helped entirely. "Setting Dwarves to train will result in them idling instead of training." This, for example, is confusing because my dwarves don't look idle - they watch/perform demonstrations and they do individual training. The ranged squad I created now has a bow dwarf who was "leading archery demonstration" whilst the other was "watching archery demonstration".

Edit:
"The Arsenal Dwarf serves the role of quartermaster; without him your dwarves will be unable to change their equipment" .. I guess that answers my question about weapons!

I've tried "train" too, with the barracks marked as a training area. I think it's working but they don't use the weapons I want... Well, the first one did (wooden training sowrd). How do you get them to switch weapons? I changed their designation but do I need the arsenal dwarf?
