Editing v0.31 Talk:Military design

:'''Editors & Contributors''' - Please include diagrams or ''clear'' and well-sized [[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images images]] if appropriate.  For diagrams, use [[Character table|standard Dwarf Fortress symbols]] for your diagrams - an x is an up/down stairwell, a ╬ is a fortification, a ▲ is an up-ramp/slope, etc. etc.   For screenshots, use the standard tileset, not a custom one that few may recognize.

:Please do NOT add a "theoretical" trap design, that you have not actually tested, unless you are 100% sure it will work.

:If your suggestion is lengthy and complex, consider placing it on your User: page with simpler explanation and a link here.

:Lastly, if you can keep similar or alternate suggestions grouped within like subsections/topics/categories, that would be a good thing.  Future wiki users and DF players thank you.

==Attribute==

I don't get the new attribute system yet - this still needs touching up by someone other than me. Rest should still be good. --[[User:Retro|Retro]] 00:09, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

==Basic military training Setup==

i added some stuff that i though was missing, its my first wiki edit ever, and English is not my native tongue so i suggest someone reading it trough and possibly even typing it again

the maths work, the way i explained is a very effective and safe way to start up a military and training your dwarves while defending, but my literary skills in English are bad

==40d stuff==

There seems to be a bunch of old-version info in here, like not being able to assign dogs to elite warriors, and talking about training up shield user and wresting (as opposed to dodging). I haven't gotten an advanced enough military yet to test or verify anything, but surely someone has? --[[User:Zombiejustice|Zombiejustice]] 18:00, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
:Crap, that's my mistake then. I went through and reviewed the old article and changed a bunch of stuff, but I didn't think of the skill name changes and missed the dog bit. I'll go revise a bit. --[[User:Retro|Retro]] 18:13, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
::You should also mention all the bugs in the version that is likely to be "current" for quite some time. The "individual combat drill" bug can easily kill a fortress if the only dwarf with a high level of Masonry/Farming/Brewing/Mechanics ends up crippled by it. Official training is too risky to undertake now, due to all the bugs; better to hunt wild animals for training purposes. --[[User:Tatterdemalian|Tatterdemalian]] 14:15, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the siege part is 40d. I just trained up my siege dwarves to 3 legendary operators + 3 reserves (ranging from novice to competent) and a legendary siege engineer who can quickly build loads of masterwork parts + ammunition. In 3 years.<br />
