Military Scheduling
« on: July 05, 2013, 04:21:03 pm »

I have created a military and am wondering if it is possible to tell my dwarves to train for a period of time and then rest/ do civilian work for another period of time without using alerts, as it would be a pain to constantly switch the alert level from "Inactive" to "Active/Training" and back again every few months.

If you leave them on Active/Training but don't give them any orders (under the schedule section) for a given month, they can do civilian work.  There's no need to manually switch them from on and off duty.

They'll still do individual combat drills in their free time, and that can prevent them from doing useful amounts of civilian work.  I'm actually not sure if setting them to Inactive will prevent that.
