This article is about an older version of DF.



Introduction

Sparring is a form of (usually) non-lethal Template:L, led by the Template:L in charge with the respective Template:L, to train Template:Ls in their {Template:Ls in Template:L. Sparring takes place at Template:L; off-duty soldiers will engage in training activities, such as Template:L combat demonstrations and Template:L with other off-duty soldiers.

To assign a soldier to sparring, you must Template:L his or her squad to train. This is accomplished by opening the mTemplate:L, selecting the squad from the list, choosing to alerts the selected squad, then assigning the squad to Active/Training (Or whatever you have named it) You must have at least one assigned training area, Template:Ls, Template:Ls, and Template:Ls to name some.


Equipment

When soldiers spar, they practice (and thereby gain experience) with whatever Template:L and Template:L they have been assigned, including Template:Ls. Thus, in order to train Template:L, it is necessary to assign the recruits axes, and so forth with all other Template:Ls. The weapon you wish for them to spar with can be chosen through the military screen, and then the equip selection.

Injury

During sparring soldiers can get Template:Led, ranging from minor injuries to loss of ability. This cripples their training time (leading to death in real combat) or disables them from fighting at all. To avoid injury you can

  • Equip them with Template:Ls. However, there are only training axes, swords, and spears. Mace and hammer dwarves will have to use real weaponry. And during an Template:L, it might be difficult to switch over to effective weapons. Therefore build your weapon Template:L or weapon racks close to the Template:L.
  • Equip them with Template:L; this lowers damage being received and allowing them to train with their armor. However, it has been observed that training is less Template:L than previous incarnations, and it seems that Template:L are less likely to consider training to be a Mortal Kombat match.

Also note, Template:L injury caused by sparring is good Template:L for a new Template:L.
