I am starting to notice that my dwarves are only going to spar in the barracks two at a time regardless of size. Is this right? [[User:MikeWulf|MikeWulf]] 11:01, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

The 4x4 minimum size designation is not true for 33c at least. I saw multiple times my soldiers sparring in a 3x3 room with 3 pieces of furniture in it (If they tumble around while sparring it could be true though, since it was across the hall from the main big barracks). As for the "not sparring" question, I think they need to have different job names. Like wrestler and marksman, or Elite marksman and marksman (not sure about last one).

:That's not true about needing different job names - they could never get started if that were the case, since military dwarves start off as Recruits. (Well, unless you get immigrant soldiers.

In several forts now, I've never had my soldiers use more than one barracks, even though I have >20 soldiers and two or more squads. The barracks they use is either the one I make first, or the one that is closest to the eating/partying area. Do others have this problem? -- [[User:D64|D64]] 08:16, 27 July 2008 (EDT)

Sqauds travel together at all times, also sparring close to the eating/partying area is probably just conveniance, if the barracks is far away your drunken rage against another dwarf would have dimished by the time you get there.--[[User:Warlordzephyr|Warlordzephyr]] 05:35, 10 February 2009 (EST)

The page is listed under the 'buildings' box that has been placed on several pages, so I thought I'd make it. If someone thinks it overlaps with bedroom, feel free to slap on a del tag, just be sure to edit the 'buildings' box too.Thexor 00:32, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

Soldiers never use more than one barracks?[edit]

In several forts now, I've never had my soldiers use more than one barracks, even though I have >20 soldiers and two or more squads. The barracks they use is either the one I make first, or the one that is closest to the eating/partying area. Do others have this problem? -- D64 08:16, 27 July 2008 (EDT)

Clothes littered in the Barrack[edit]

I trained a couple of wrestlers in my barrack and now there lies clothing everywhere, owned by said dwarves. I assigned them some roomes and put a chest and a cabinet in each but they dont seem like cleaning up there mess. Could that be because they have reached hero status und now havent the cleaning-job enabled? And if so, how do i get them do put there clothes back on? --Spectre 14:46, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

I just read a post on the forums suggesting that there is no way to get rid of the clothes that were ripped off during wrestling practice. If you tag them as "Hidden", then at least your barracks will look neater, although the ripped, bloody, vomit-stained clothes will still be there. Fortunately, no one seems to care.
