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: Fair Wrestling Room

Zasit and Dumat enter, bearing steel bucklers and cat leather armor. No one leaves. I know they'll eventually gain more social skill than wrestling skill, but this test will show how fast they gain Armor Bearing and Shield Use.

A very short test earlier revealed that dwarves won't spar or even chat in water, so sadly swimming is out. Otherwise they could cross-train Swimming, Armor Bearing, Shield Use, Wrestling, and every social skill all at the same time. Instead they train all but Swimming. - Rolan7
