-:As the one who wrote this 'salespitch' I'd like to know what you think about this article needs to be improved. I would contest your point on it having no facts, and while there aren't examples, very few dfwiki articles have examples to the best of my knowledge (as they generally aren't needed). Is there something wrong with telling you how a function works? If you're confused, the [[DF2010:Military_interface|interface walkthrough]] (despite being incomplete) should be able to help you. Additionally, please sign your comments. --[[User:Retro|Retro]] 17:06, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Keep the burrow un-populated, and only trigger it when you want your dwarves to drop whatever they're fetching outside and run indoors. Personally, I recommend having your "This Is The Safe Zone" spot marked in the Room Of Levers - that also makes it easy to shut down the fortress and flood the invaders with magma and water (or whatever other kind of Fun you have in store).		:Make sure you didn't add the dwarves to your "!!DRAGON!!" burrow - if the dwarves are added to the burrow, and you then trigger an alert that activates said burrow, the dwarves generally get confused and end up not going anywhere.

−	It should be noted somewhere that regardless of the immense and deep options, the only order you can schedule your warrior dwarfs to fulfill is, "Stand around and die of thirst". None of the other orders are available or possible. I played the previous version of military with all of it;s faults, but I can hardly believe that the designers of this game fixed the military problems by adding a complicated and ridiculous system of options that doesn't even work a little. It's like they didn't realize people might try to play this game. They're just coding a game for code's sake. My favorite part of the military user interface: "Press Enter to Delete."
