Military problems
« on: April 06, 2014, 06:35:26 pm »

Hello! I was reading through the wiki and searching the forum/net but I couldn't find an answer, so sorry if it was answered before.

I have a pretty old fort (old enough to FPS start to become a concern), and had two squads of military with 10 dwarves each. They sparred and trained regurally without a problem. However, a little while ago I decided to make a third squad, but even though I set it up just the same (set them active, set their schedule, gave them a barrack and set it to train) they didn't do anything. They grabbed their equipment, but unless I give them a direct order they stay as civilians.
Trying to fix the problem I started messing around with the schedules (mostly freeing them then setting it back to train and changing the minimum number), but instead of fixing it, now the other two squad that trained before changed back to their civilian jobs and won't do anything (apart from the captain, who does his individual training). I even tried to delete the squad and remake it completely from scratch, but no luck.
Anyone has any idea what could be the problem?

Alerts, maybe? You turned the schedule to the option that makes them have time off in intervals, maybe?

All three of them is on Active/Training (both the green CIV and the A at the squads is there) and the schedule thing only shows "Train". How do I see if they have time offs set?

You could try setting the alert to inactive and change the shedule for inactive but leave the squads in the squadmenu on active/traning helped me the last time my military went bonkers
