40d Talk:Captain of the guard

Is it just me, or can this dwarf not be assigned a room once the economy starts (and thus cannot satisfy his "Quarters" requirement)? --Bobson 09:11, 6 December 2007 (EST)

This same thing seems to apply to the mayor. Assigning bedrooms can only be done for migrated nobles and legendary dwarves during the economy for some reason. --Pigbuster 12:35, 6 December 2007 (EST)

---I'm pretty sure the mayor and captain could be assigned quarters under the economy in .33c, but I don't have that fort anymore to check it. Administrators (broker, trader..) needed to rent though. Coelocanth 13:13, 6 December 2007 (EST)

Anarchy

Is it necessary to have a standing guard? Will my fortress revolt if there isn't one?--Benitosimies 03:54, 14 March 2008 (EDT)

Nope. This article here, in the archive, does a good job on the guards, but I don't know whether or not it is completely accurate in this version.

It will give unhappy thoughts to certain nobles, though. --Savok 10:01, 14 March 2008 (EDT)

Captain unnecessary for fortress guard

I tend to put off assigning a Sheriff, so I recently discovered that dwarves can still be assigned to the fortress guard, even if the Captain's position is vacant.

I'm not sure if they actually dispense justice, though. Can anyone confirm that? Medi 20:58, 22 July 2008 (EDT)

Put Captain Into Actual Guard Unit?

This may seem like an odd question, but do I have to literally put my Captain of the Guard into the Guard ("C" in prefs)? Squints 10:23, 20 January 2009 (EDT)

No, the captain of the guard does their job regardless, I do believe.--Quil 11:59, 20 January 2009 (EST)
