http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=143731.msg5660254#msg5660254The rules of the challenge that I'll be using:
Embark:
Dwarves:
Each of the seven dwarves is assigned 1 skill at level 5. You'll need to pick carefully (see the rules below).
Items:
2 Picks
1 Anvil
100 booze
100 food
10 Stone
10 Wood
The rules that I'll be using:
1) Dwarves may only ever be assigned a labor that they have at least 1 level in, with the exception of military and nobles.
2) Nobles may be assigned at will without restriction.
3) Military squads must be lead by someone that already has some skill in the weapon of choice for the squad. Everyone in a squad must use the same type of item.
4) All unskilled labor may be used without restriction (this includes things like hauling and feeding/watering)
5) Once a dwarf becomes a Master (Level 13) in a skill, (s)he may take on a single apprentice; this apprentice must be assigned the master's labor and have all other labor unassigned (not including hauling or dwarf care). Once a dwarf is marked as an apprentice, that dwarf must remain an apprentice under that master until they reach level 8 (Adept) in the labor. At this point they become a journeyman in the skill and leaves the apprenticeship, which frees it up for the master to take on a new apprentice. The only other way out of an apprenticeship is death. A dwarf MAY undertake as many apprenticeships as you want, however, they may only take part in a single apprenticeship at a time and they must complete the active apprenticeship before taking another.
6) Even if a dwarf is master in multiple skills, they may only have 1 apprentice at a time.
7) You must toggle the {h} order to "Only farmers Harvest". This makes it so that grower skill is not trained through gathering.
8 ) Children, upon reaching adulthood, may be assigned 1 labor of choice. The pool of skills they may choose from is limited to skills their parents have, their friends have, or in the case of friends that are children, the friend's parents.
9) Any labor that is given through a strange mood is treated like a normal legendary skill regardless to if the dwarf originally had that labor assigned. The dwarf can be assigned the labor and take on an apprentice like any other legendary laborer.
10) The benefit of legends: Any dwarf that achieves Legendary may be assigned an untrained labor of choice. This simulates a kind of multiclassing. This can be done each time a dwarf reaches legendary in a skill. Military, physical, and social skills are not counted for this. The skill pool is limited to jobs related to their legendary class (ie. gem setting after getting legendary in gem cutting), or skills based on their item preferences.
11) Diagnose what you can treat: Any dwarf that has any of the healing skills can be given the diagnostician labor as a freebie. Conceptually, if you can treat something, you probably know how to make a diagnosis related to that treatment. Granted, any dwarf with diagnosis can diagnose any injury or ailment, however, without the skill to heal it, diagnosis doesn't actually provide anything of actual utility.
12) Military for life. Soldiers are in the active military until they die or are discharged due to injury. No using the military system to avoid the clothing industry for civilians. Emergency conscription is allowed, but you have to conscript ALL non-critical dwarves to battle an immediate threat. The squad must be disbanded after the threat has passed.
13) Masonry/carpentry supervisors. Any dwarf may have masonry or carpentry enabled for building walls & floors. The workshops have to be assigned to the specific skilled dwarf. Any skill gained from building walls and floors dont count towards enabling that skill for a dwarf
14) Each dwarf that has a skill enabled has to have their own workshop for that skill.
Any feedback is welcome!
