Question
« on: March 01, 2012, 05:31:12 pm »

Is there a way to make all of my dwarves stay inside? I remember there being one in earlier versions under preferences, but I don't know how to now. I occasionally get ambushed, and my military is not equipped at all, fail on embarking at little to no metal area. I'm deep into building my fortress so I mainly rely up traders for metal. However, I don't worry, I have bridges for keeping them from accessing the inside of my fort. However, my dwarves, such as fisherdwarves, like to go fishing anyway should I get sieged or ambushed. Is there a way to keep them inside?

Sounds like you're looking for a burrow and an alert.

Thank you, so much ^^ I didn't really understand burrows or alerts until now; still don't mostly, but I have the basics. Thanks :D
