Squad addition: "non-lethal sparring" + traini

<< < (5/5)

Lightman:
Looks good, Earthquake Damage. I think the game definitely needs training (wooden) staffs or some kind of weapon that won't kill your dwarves. I've had one guard suffocate from sparring (wrestling wound, presumably) and a couple more wounded. Plus, healing is so primitive.I've a legendary craftsdwarf ("very tough") who has a yellow lower leg wound. It's apparently never going to heal. He got out of bed and made an artifact, but now he's back in bed. The dwarves don't put him in his own bed (which I rather dislike) and I guess there's no hope of saving him. It just doesn't make much sense, considering he can walk. Where is the doctor profession when I need it? ;p

When you spar, you probably aren't going to actually be fighting with the weapons, just "pretending"  and coming close to hitting, so 10% would be better, I say.

Where each of my three (will be six once I reach a population of 200+) watchtowers has within it a barracks, a food stockpile, and a drink stockpile. Every tier of recruits get's locked into the tower and totally seperated from the rest of the fortress untill they are able to handle themselves decently enough to spar with the champions. One of the towers has archery targets where the brin damaged are allowed to skill up marksmanship.In the half a year since the implementation of this system, my yellow+ injuries per season has gone down from an average of two to zero. Of course, this was only implemented after I lost a legendary bowyer turned wrestler to an elite. (I nearly cried when I saw what happened. -.- poor Kogan. At least his bedroom was suitable for my naitivly Legendary Stonecrafter.)
