Okay, so, next release, will there be a new mechanic whereas the dwarf-citizens of your fortress will -know- fear? Will they flee from megabeasts, murderers, insane people throwing a hissy-fit? This could really benefit players, as it would probably save some lives.

Go ahead and post your questions here too, if you want.

... they do it already. They flee from megabeasts, berserk dwarves and invaders if they are civilians.

[Garath]

they just don't flee to safety

this does sound a lot like the 'future of the fortress' thread over in 'DF general discussion'

[Matoro]

Yeah, they are idiots. It's like part of the game. I think it should stay that way.

No, the next release isn't overhauling the AI. I have heard that there may be smaller release after the main one which handles job priorization and dwarf AI.

probably save some lives.

Not a ANTI-dwarven way.

Better approach:
1) assign every dwarf in your fort to a dummy militia squad,
2) assign a simple uniform consisting of a crossbow and enough ammo,
3) let them equip, make sure you have enough equipment and ammo.
4) Enjoy when the next Kobold thief/Goblin snatcher gets spotted in the middle of your fortress and is immediately pin-cushioned by bolts flying from every direction... Ha ha ha ha 
5) Profit!?

Is it just me, or does garath seem to be hinting at something? It might just be me.

[WhimsyWink]

he could be hinting that you'll find more people interested in that discussion there ... little point in two threads on the same topic
