My second major fortress dedicated solely to Dwarven Science (tm). Didn't post the first one, not much to see. This one isn't much better, I'm mainly posting it to illustrate my experiment.
The goal of the experiment is to measure effectiveness of various experience-gain strategies. There are four strategies competing in this run:
1) Job Manager, fed by repeating macro
2) Record Keeper, possibly fed by glass industry
3) An armor and shield bearing wrestler against an unarmored wrestler
4) Two wrestlers with armor and shield
Digging and pump operating were tested in the previous fortress, which I may post later. That fortress also determined that wrestler gain much less experience as their partners become harder to hit, thus the armor experimentation here.
The office of Mestthos, job manager. I suppose he sign-languages his orders through the portal.
The macro which runs the fort provides Mestthos with 500 jobs every two days or so. It deletes 500 jobs first, so the job list doesn't overflow (never observed, but seems possible).
Preliminary testing with Urvad the Second Dwarven Scientist indicates that Mestthos is going to win this hands-down. Still, this is science, and Urvad *did* have a sizable agility bonus. Urvad engraved this room, as he did the other testing chambers, with motivational posters. - Rolan7
