I am verily confused. Is it possible to create squads which act like civilians unless activated? I don't want them to train, but to do their normal duties, while remaining nominally a squad. AbuDhabi 18:05, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- From what I've seen, in some cases squads do only activate when given orders, then go back to their civilian roles when the orders are canceled. I think what you'd want to do is define no orders in the Schedule screen (or just keep them in the Inactive alert level, which has no orders by default), then give them direct move or kill orders through the Squad screen. They should activate when you give the order, then go back to their civilian duties when you cancel their orders. On the schedule screen you can also tell them to either wear their military clothes when inactive or wear civilian clothes and only equip military clothes when active. --Valdemar 18:25, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- I have them set to Inactive, but all they do is Individual Weapon Drill, completely ignoring civilian work such as making stuff and building workshops. AbuDhabi 07:01, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- At least I think I did. This is somewhat confusing, and I need to switch booted OSes to run DF. AbuDhabi 07:07, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
This Something Awful post has a treasure trove of information on how the military screens work. If someone could work on editing it into the page (with proper attribution at the bottom, of course), that would be excellent. 76.84.96.216 05:20, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- Wish I could but SA has reverted to needing an account to see the forum again. If you mind posting the relevant information here I'll be glad to sift through it and add what we can. KaelGotRice 07:12, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
Arsenal Dwarf not appearing?
No matter what I do, I can't get the Arsenal Dwarf to show up on the nobles screen, iv'e tried everything, even turning his poulation requirements to 1. It could be a bug, but I really don't want to lose this fort, anyone have any help?24.255.86.193
- I had this problem too, but the position just now opened up for me. The only thing I can think of that might have caused it would be I drafted another dwarf to my military, for a total of 5 soldiers. -Soronhen 06:35, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
- OK turns out they pick up equipment without an arsenal dwarf, boy do I feel dumb now24.255.86.193
