Military won't do anything?
« on: November 09, 2007, 08:43:00 pm »

I have to deal with some goblins so I turned my dwarves into recruits, but I can't get them to go anywhere? I set patrol routes, set a new station, but they WILL NOT move, even one square. They're just standing in the same spot... not moving, no matter what. Frustrating!

Check that they can reach the square in question - you might have done something silly, like lock a door.
Then, check that they're on duty. By default, squads are on duty, but you might have taken them off.
Then, check on the squad leader. If he's sleeping/eating/drinking/etc., then the whole squad will sit around and wait for him, watching him sleep while the fort is conquered.  :)

Same thing happened to me, military not moving even if I set them on duty and add patrol route. They just stay in the barracks sparring. I have some proficient wrestlers that will never fight...
