A soldier failed to move when confronted with a kill-ordered adder through a series of bug fixes, and when I finally got some movement, he ran away and climbed up a tree. He has "great difficulty mastering his fear when confronted with danger", so I guess that wasn't a bug...

-A quote from the January 24, 2014 Devlog.

Obviously such a dwarf isn't fit for the military unless there is a way to train his fear out of him. This represents a potential revolution in Military Development since personality traits will have more of an influence on people. I see such issues as having the Captain of the Guard/Sheriff/Hammerer refusing to punish certain dwarves because they're friends or other such nonsense. My questions are as followed:

1: Will there be ways to train dwarves to overcome certain personality traits? Perhaps using the age old "Traumitization" model?
2: Will new traits get retroactively added to Historical Figures in old saves if we update to the new mode?
3: Will such traits influence rather safe (in comparison) military jobs, such as sniping from the battlements during a siege?
4: Will these traits make Nobles somehow more prone to unfortunate accidents?

I'd recommend each of the above. Two of them are one-shots (Underneath and Twenty-Times).

At the very least could you tell me if the fix has taken care of that issue? I'm a little eager for feedback.

@Gamerlord
I'm actually a small time fanfiction writer myself. Do you think you could read a little of this and give me some feedback?

If you're inclined please leave it in a review or two, this thread was made for recommendations after all.

I always give my Military Dwarves numbers.

For example: my Militia Commander will be called One-One, his second in command will be One-Two, then One-Three up till I hit One-Ten. The first number always designates the squad they're in while the second is their position within the squad. If a particular Military Dwarf distinguishes themselves in some way I will fix Ace on the end of their name, there can be only one Ace per squad. If one of my military dies I draft a suitable replacement and, until they hit Great with their weaponskill, they are called Recruit. If a child is born with suitable stats and disposition for the military they automatically lose their name and become a Cadet.

Any titan or beast made out of inorganic material can be difficult to kill. Make sure that, if you run into a titan, take a look at it and see what its made of- then plan accordingly.

Scored a 3, though I question the relevance of some of the questions.
