Stationing troops. Get them rotating?
« on: October 18, 2010, 01:57:08 am »
Well I have a few Dwarves stationed about (as part of a larger squad) but it seems that they stay down there far too long, get hungry/thirsty and unhappy.

So is there any way to get them moving about more?

I think you can set it so that there is only a necessary 8 people on duty at a time so the rest can go get a drink and eat. So out of my 10, 2 will be on a break at a time for example. I think....XD

Dwarf 2: And then the battle is not so bad?
Dwarf 1: Oh...right. I forgot about the battle.

Place the barracks w/food and booze stockpiles down there? Assign them food and drink(and make sure backpacks and waterskins are available)?

They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I told them I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.
