Hello every1. Started playing this game a few days ago and I'm loving it so far. Cant believe its only a two-man project in alpha-stage  

Anyway I just won a battle against a few goblins and two of my soldiers became crippled and unconscious and cant make it back home on their own.

But I cant make any of my other 60 or so dwarves to help rescue my helpless heroes. One of the miners carried one of them a few feet and then dropped him again. The others just dont care and are more interested in collecting all the goblin stuff lying around. There's nothing happening in the joblist. Mos t of the dwarves arent even occupied

I read another thread suggesting to draft/undraft the dwarves but that doesnt seem to help

Any ideas?

Try setting one or two useless peasants to health care only, they should eventually go rescue your wounded dwarves and hopefully feed them afterwards.

I find that setting a few peasants to 'hauler' and just letting them do nothing but miscellaneous tasks does a lot to prevent stuff like this happening. I'd also experiment with designating all the nice gobbo stuff your dwarves are going after to forbidden.

Finally one of my original 7, the carpenter/engraver took some responsibility and carried one of them back.

Still the unconscious one left. Two dwarves brought him some water and food. He lies on the other side of a brook. Could that be a problem?

Do you have some free beds available for him to be put in? I'm not sure if beds that are part of barracks can be used, but beds that are part of rooms can't for sure. At least, owned rooms.

That may or may not be your trouble =) but it's a likely place to start.

oh man, THATS why that injured guy isnt heading over to rest!  THANKS!

[galmud]

thx for the help all

I checked my barracks and theres plenty of beds avialable.

Goblins just started a siege so I have to get every1 inside. I guess my poor wounded soldier will die soon of dehydration

He was picked up, and then dropped you say?

There is apparently a bug with rescue attempts that are failed due to other more important tasks (read: eating, drinking and slacking). To save your poor dwarf you'll have to reset his status. (AKA, Deactivate him from the military, then Activate him again)

Check their wounds- if they're really badly injured particularly spine, lungs and brain you might want to consider, erm, leaving them a pistol with a single bullet?
