A thought I just had for development:

I have always had trouble with guards and guarding... its just not the most pleasant interface... I was thinking about simple ways to improve this and here is an idea I came up with:

Set up for "Guarding Zones"  Just like other activity areas.
Give the Guarding zones priorities.

Have any guard groups that are active be set to:
*Active* <- old style control for making them run around and attack things
*Passive* <- They will then take up a guard post, and automatically rotate between guarding, breaks, sleep and training.

It would be nice to have that guarding function somewhat automated...
That way when you have a big invasion... and your guard zones are already set up... you just have to activate a few teams of (normally worker) dwarves to head off and start guarding the important zones.

Any thoughts?
