Pickhollow - 265 Early Winter by Rolan7

Map Description:

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.

Point of Interest: Unfair Wrestling Room

In this room, Erush the Unarmored Wrestler will spar Adil who bears a steel buckler and cat leather armor.
Prediction: Adil will be able to hit Erush longer, and will gain some Armor Bearer and Shield User skill, but eventually they'll be incredible dodgers and will spend their time chatting instead. Seriously, in the previous fort the wrestlers started gaining social skills *instead* of wrestling skill once they were both high level. - Rolan7
