It's all extremely complicated now, even more so then before, but at least then I could figure out how to send them to attack something (even though they ignored me completely most of the time). Well now they're just sitting around. I finally managed to order one of them to attack a goblin, he chose in stead to sit around the fortress while the lasher is still outside whipping a lyemaker to death. The "dwarves stay in doors" order apparently has been removed, so my hall-o-death is quite useless.

Could some one make a video or something explaining how to properly use your military? So far I think I've had 10 dwarves killed, and I'm not really wanting more to die.

Trust me, if I hadn't read the wiki, I wouldn't be posting here. I've ordered a dwarf to go out and attack a goblin, however I can't figure out how to get all of them to go out without having to select each one manually. The dwarf that I tried to send out is ignoring the command, so that's not really helping.

Edit: OH MY GOD, THANK ARMOK! They're mobilizing! Mobilizing!

Remember also there are PLENTY of bugs with the new mil system, so it's a crapshoot.  I still haven't gotten my milita commander/squad leader to arm herself even though everyone else is in stylish iron.

My guys don't seem to have a problem being mobilized or attacking, but some seem to be very greedy when it comes to weapons.

I have a one dwarf who's carrying 4 different axes in his right hand alone... not sure if I can fix that or not.

If your dwarves won't go kill what you tell them to, try just giving them a "station" order near the target.  Hopefully, they'll run out there, and when they get there, they'll see the target and make with the stabbing.
