Captain of the Guard always assigned to the first squadron?
« on: December 20, 2014, 01:34:52 pm »
I'm setting up my "justice-league" i.e. weak captain of the guard (CotG) and hammerer, both with light crossbows, whom I would like to serve as the fortress guard, as suggested in the DF Wiki.

If I read the wiki correctly
  • it is only the fortress guard that serves justice
  • the fortress guard is defined as whichever squadron is headed by the CotG.

The problem is that I already have "real" squadrons on my list of squadrons.  My "justice-league" squadron is fifth in the list of squadrons.  But when I appoint someone as the CotG they automatically become squadron leader of the first squadron.  I can't get my CotG to become squadron leader of any squadron except the first squadron.

So... I suspect that the CotG and his/her fortress guard is always the first squadron on the list.  Are my suspicions correct?

Much obliged,
-CF

Yes!

Sounds like you have to switch the squad members between the first and the fifth squad, and then you'd be set.
