Basically, for each of the 3 full-time squads, their schedule is like: 1 month inactivity/vacation 4 months patrol route or station at the gate (mostly to stop lone goblins and kobolds, since stolen babies give bad thoughts) 7 months training In addition to the sleeping/equipping barracks with weapon, armor, and ammo stockpiles, there's a room designated as a barracks/armory with Training turned on. It's got weapon racks, armor stands, and archery targets. By equipping these units with wooden weapons, they practice against each other without hurting each other. Each militia captain is an ex-Ranger, with lots of points as Marksdwarf, Dodger, and Armor User, so he'll lead demonstrations and drills during training time. It's not as fast as a Danger Room, but it's easily fast enough to keep up a trained military. As an aside, our fort isn't really in a GREAT place right now given the dozens of injured dwarves and the fact that our metal economy has stagnated for a year. something tells me the next rule has quite a bit of work on his hands. | ||

He's kind of designed to get his own squad eventually, since he has the most skill at training others of any of the dwarves. He's the guy whose job is drill instructor right? He's leading the heavy infantry squad-- they have their own armory and barracks. They don't do any patrols, though, just 6 months of training per year and 6 months of being civilians, since some of them are miners and woodcutters. | ||

Pretty much heavily put points into observing and teaching as well as dodge in order to allow us to quickly train up a military as well as be protected from raids. | ||

We got very, VERY lucky that he got caged. I'm not even sure the cage he's in is actually dragonfire-proof, so the structure being built around him is to prevent him from seeing something tasty and breathing fire at it. | ||
