Revision as of 21:23, 20 April 2010
Created this page - until someone learns the full military interface, this is all(?) they need. It's all I needed. Might be better moved to a diff title, like "To kill a thief", but this is what I thought of first.--Albedo 01:02, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- Not sure if I agree with the need for this article, If it does stay around, it needs to be cleaned up. Doctorzuber 08:30, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
If you understand how military works, you don't need this article. The "need" for this article is, as I said above, for those who don't want to slog through 3 long, complex articles to fully understand Template:L, Template:Ls and Template:L just to have a couple nearby dwarfs run off a tribe of macaques or raccoons in the first season. (Not sure what "cleaning up" you think it needs, but knock yourself out.)--Albedo 20:05, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Don't make no sense
Why have the commander be someone you DON'T want fighting? Why the doctor? --Zombiejustice 03:54, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- <sigh> Okay, fair enough. (Altho' this discussion really doesn't belong here, but...)
- This article is not about "permanent" military, but only about short-term, "right now" military, right? So, you want to use the "nearest" dwarfs, not wait for those who are trained - and might be across the map. So while you can designate a squad off your Militia Commander, you won't want to unless they happen to be right there by the target - unlikely. So you find the nearest dwarf (or so), make them a militia captain (for this effort only), and build off of them.
- Why not the doctor? Simply because you don't want your doctor to get hurt or die! Who will patch them up? Who will patch up anyone else?! If you make the doctor the M Commander, and have a policy to never build a squad off of that designated noble, then they will never be sent off toward trouble. That, and since the Commander has no skills that matter, you'll never(?) have to replace that position because the old one ran off and got themself killed.
- But if that still "don't make sense" and you want to send your doctor into battle, don't let me stop you!--Albedo 20:05, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- Are you angry? I'm not calling you out, I'm just naturally curious about other people's play styles. Your explanation here clarified the points of my confusion; I think the article could benefit from parts of it. I'll edit them in. --Zombiejustice 21:23, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
