Dead soldiers don't abandon their posts!
« on: April 26, 2010, 07:45:37 pm »

Ok... so my last battler with goblins was epic, but a couple of my warriors died... however... they are still on the squads rooster... and burying them doesn't fix the problem... ideas?

Have you tried removing them from the squad?

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.

Removing manually seems to work... still, it's weird that they don't leave the rooster when they are dead...

yea, it's a bit obnoxious when you have 10 or so military dwarves die in a battle and you have go into units, look them and then match their name to the military screen.  I hope it will be fixed soon.

A squad of units on roosters would be an interesting squad indeed.

But yes, it's a shame they aren't automatically removed from the roster.

Maybe he was thinking of Alice In Chains.

Alice In Chains Rooster Lyrics

Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere

Yeah they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die

Wow, that was more appropriate to the situation than I even remembered the song being...
