Summary

0007835: Never Using Weapons While Sparring

Description

I set up a squad of soon to be speardwarves and set them all up with metal spears. Once they began sparring, however, most of them turned into wrestlers. I checked the combat logs and I found that not only did the dwarves not utilize their given weapons, but had the nerve to punch each other conistently! I made another squad of soon to be swordsdwarves in hopes of finding out that the issue was only with spears or that squad, but then I found them only to be doing the same exact thing.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a Military
2. Make Weapons by any means
3. Give Weapons to Military
4. Wait Until They Begin to Spar
5. Look at Combat Log

Additional Information

I am unsure of the re-productivity due to my inability to make another fortress and get far enough to get real weaponry. Also, I am quite unsure of the severity due to the fact that I hear people always praising wrestlers and using them.
