| Aug 10, 2010 at 16:01 | comment | added | Sadly Not | @Mechko: Because you can do this it's helpful to give some dwarves no proficiencies on embarking, then change the labor preferences after embarking, especially for easy-to-get skills like mining and woodcutting. That way you save a lot of points for other useful items, like iron anvils, dogs, etc. But for slow-development skills (like appraisal and social), skills dealing with rare resources (like gem-cutting/setting), and survival-crucial skills (like surgery and medical training) it's worth starting dwarves off with proficiency. | |
