Avoiding Job Change / Military
« on: September 26, 2012, 12:16:04 am »

Active duty squads are momentarily switching to civilian status when I cancel a station order. 
Tell them to murder kobold, they give chase, can't catch him, so I cancel before they run to the map edge.  All of them switch to civilian status, and all get negative thoughts for being relieved of duty.  Then  they switch back to military status.

What is the proper method of dealing with this buggy behavior?

I've seen that happen with my dwarves. Best thing I can recommend is just raising a random civilian skill to Novice so they don't become Peasants when they change back to a civilian, this should get rid of the unhappy thoughts.
