Hey guys, i just started on the new squad stuff (been away for a while).
I'm currently watching my fortress getting slaughtered, usually I would rally all 91 dwarves to attack the enemy in a single spot and still win due to sheer numberical force. But There seems to be a maximum of 10 units in a military squadron. This caused my lazy ass not to put 9 military commanders on the taskforce, but instead watch as the ten recuits stagger towards the 15 armed to the teeth invaders. It should suffice to say that I currently (2 minutes later) have 22 badly depressed dwarves running around waiting to get ripped to shreds.

Is a zergrush still possible in this version? (Mass-recuits and kekeke the enemy with everything you've got)
Preferably without having to designate several teams, it kind of kills the numerical rushing part.

i do believe so.  I'd say just create 9 seperate squads and pause the game.  Have them all rally at one point.  then once their all together pause it again and give each seperate squad a movement command but make sure that they all move to the same space.  Should work as normal

I was afraid so.

I'm too lazy for that, I'd rather lose it all and start again (The game becomes slow anyway)

Guess I'll have to start on building a military next game thanks for the answer!

If you run with a smaller fortress and have a properly trapped entrance you can get away with only a few squads of legends.

Armour means a lot more now. If the enemy is better equipped than you, "zerg rush" will not work.

In DF2010, zerg rush is likely to totally fail against anything other than a few weak melee attackers. One armed, armored dwarf with basic fighting skills is worth 20 civillian "zerglings".
