Is military training faster in the new version?
« on: August 16, 2014, 05:13:59 am »

In the last version, If I recall correctly, if you wanted to train soldiers at any reasonable speed you needed to make small squads to encourage sparring or you required a dwarf with a high teacher skill.

However, in the new version, all the members of my 10-dwarf squad became legendary fighters after one year and a half of training. About half of them also are axe lords. They all started without any skill in teaching.

Has anyone else noticed that dwarves train faster, or is it just me?

Yes. I personally ditched the starting teacher 5 on my two embark soldiers (which I always did in 34.11) in favor of dodge 5 and armor user 5, since those are the slowest of all skills to train at the barracks.  Weapon/fighting skills seem to be the fastest. I'm thinking of cutting the xp of the faster skills to train more in line with dodge/armor use which take quite a few years/battles to train to legendary.
