I believe a requirement of the Arsenal Dwarf is to have a Sheriff, and give said sheriff their required rooms / furniture.

I don't think this is so, because I didn't get around to that until long after one appeared (.06) Dorf and Dumb 16:19, 25 June 2010 (UTC)


I can't get my dwarves to STOP killing things!

This section is incomplete. A thief may escape the attack by leaving the map. If a squad was told to go kkill a target, then the squad that is in persuit continues to have "Kill So-and-So" as their order long after the target is gone. The question "How do I get my squad to STOP killing things" should also be answered for the case where the squad is trying to kill something that is no longer on the map. Which I don't know the answer to, which is why I looked it up on this page. - AngleWyrm 23:00, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Just cancel the Kill Order - they will stop pursuing that which they cannot catch and go back to normal --75.21.147.226 22:26, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Another thing I found in .06 were dorfs standing around the bloody tile where the carcass had been hauled away from. I think "kill" orders always have to be cancelled manually, at least as of that version. Dorf and Dumb 16:19, 25 June 2010 (UTC)


Marksdwarfs Information

Marksdwarfs do not seem to practice when in a squad created under the Captain of the Guard. This may be why some people are having trouble getting it to work. Try creating a new squad with a normal commander.

Having any dwarf train is a waste of effort. Wrestlers will go up to elite after a few punches back and forth with a flesh ball or something. Marksdorfs will only rise once they get put across the moat from a herd of camels or something. Don't even build targets or barracks or the like; they just give your dorfs opportunities to starve, dehydrate, or get generally bugged. Dorf and Dumb 05:31, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Getting dwarfs to leave the army

How do you get dwarfs to leave the army? They seem to be stuck doing individual combat drill, even after being removed from the squad in the military menu.

    • Deconstruct your barrackses, then they will stop training.
