Using Squad Insignia
« on: July 25, 2010, 01:55:52 pm »
Recently I've started giving my dorfs squad insignia by using the extended characters that show up as icons rather than letters. It really helps figure out who goes where! :)

 8) excellent idea!

For those who don't know how to do that:
goto keybindings, then text, and bind special characters (those not already binded)
(or is it not the you did it?)

Oh yeah I should have explained how shouldnt I? :P

I'm using charmap.exe to copy various characters, then using Dwarf Therapist to find useless... I mean fine military dwarves and giving them a funky insignia as a nickname.

Then when I pop up the military screen back in DF, it's easy to put them all into a squad.
