Protecting Dwarves
« on: December 16, 2010, 11:59:35 pm »

Hello,
I've created something similar to the doomsday device from Boatmurdered, and I want to test it out. But I don't know how to get all my dwarves into the fort and how to keep them there (though I've already defined my fort as a burrow).

Thanks, Nic

Ok, so you've defined your fort as a burrow, that's good.

Now are you familiar with alerts?

Here's a quick guide, someone else can explain it better later.

[m]ilitary screen
set [a]lerts
[c]  add a new alert
hit [enter] to set it as a civilian alert
select the burrow on the right

all your (civilian) dwarves will immediately go to the burrow after/if you select it
