If I play a defensive game, no problems.
Its going on offense that i have problems. For example, veterans of a dragon battle slowly were picked off when confronting a fire imp. Was so limp.
I kept them (dwarves stay inside) until the dragon was out front of my fortress. Then I activated my military. We destroyed it with limiited casualties.
Then there was a fire imp in the north east quadrant of my map. I station one brigade up there and give two other brigades a patrol up there. My problem is that they went one by one and got killed one by one. Frustrating.
They were my veterans. Eventually we killed it but come on...
My dwarfs would show up to his station or to his patrol point. The imp would start out of my range with a barrage of fire balls. Ouch!!! I lost more to this one fire imp than i did to a combined goblin siege and dragon attack.
I want a kill command: kill, murder and maim. See target, mobilize army and kill target.
My dwarves were not assertive. They did not mobilize to attack the imp in an organized fashion. They were organized as brigades... carry food, carry water, i had 50+ backpacks & water skins. But acted in an unorganized way, they wouldnt attack as a unit, as one unit.
Its lame to just chill out in the cave, dwarves stay inside, a ton of traps, and wait.
My suggestion is to create a command to hunt and kill an entity.
There was a freaking jaguar, eventually a named jaguar that occassionally killed a hunter or herbalist... I could only station a brigade in its vicinity or patrol the area. But it was fruitless. Even with a brigade stationed up there and patrols, he killed. I built a ton of cage traps that eventually caught him. But...
I want to mark an enemy for death and have my military persue and kill it.
