DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / 34.11 danger room -- training spears turned lethal
« on: May 21, 2013, 05:20:47 am »
Hi all,
I thought training spears in this version did not hurt dwarves? I have two military dwarves that recently (and close together in time) were mangled by them. One died (training spear smashed his skull), and the other got away with both of his hands smashed. It's a 3 year fort and I've been using it since the beginning and haven't had any issues until now. I wonder if it is because I had 20 dwarves set to train in there. It is a single tile with 9 training spears next to a forbidden door. Also odd, I didn't check at the time, but I'm pretty certain these dwarves were properly equipped (steel/iron helm, steel/iron gauntlets, etc I have more than enough of them) so I'm curious why the spears weren't blocked by them. I did check the military screen after recruiting and it said they were wearing their gear.
