Using {{K|r}}, one can view '''Reports''' of combat, hunting, or sparring.
[[Category:Interface]]

"C" A combat report is red and creates a red "C" flag indicator on the left side of the main view.

"H" A hunting report is indicated by a green "H" on the left side of the main view. The reports are in green in the reports list as well.

"S" A sparring report is similar to a combat report but is indicated with a cyan-blue "S" and the sparring reports are in cyan as well.

All flags/indicators disappear from the main view after you visit the Reports menu by hitting {{K|r}}.

v0.31:Combat drills

2010-12-02T04:21:36Z

Barrackar: creating a "reports" page to describe everything you access by hitting "r" in dwarf-fortress mode (and the related Flags in the main view).

{{l|dwarf|Dwarves}} that are part of a {{l|squad}} that is not currently ordered into "combat mode" (''kill {monster}/station {location}'') will now "Train" when they have nothing else to do. If there is no one else to train with a Dwarf will initiate an "Individual Combat Drill". In order for this to happen you must have either a {{l|Barracks}} ({{l|zone}}d from a {{l|bed}}) or an Armory (zoned from a {{l|Weapon rack}}/{{l|Armor stand}}) and set it to "train" mode (using {{k|t}}).

By default, all squads are set to 'Active/Train' alert, in which they are assigned to train {{l|calendar|the entire year}}. To change this, go to {{l|Scheduling|alert}} screen ({{k|m}} {{k|a}}), select the new alert you want to set, then use right arrow to switch to squad listing and press {{k|enter}} to change the alert for the highlighted squad. Alternatively, you can use {{k|s}} from the game main menu, then select the squad you want to edit via its assigned letter, and repeatedly press {{k|t}} to cycle through the alerts.

While {{l|Squads#Equipping_Soldiers|equipped}} with a {{l|weapon}}, practice in {{l|Shield user}} and {{l|Dodging}} will occur magnitudes slower, if at all. If you are trying to practice {{l|skills}} for survival, it may be a good idea to drill with no weapon at all for a while.

(in .13.12) At least some successful sparring will generate combat log [[reports]], and the "S" flag in main view for new sparring [[reports]] (similar to hunting [[reports]]).
