Better Patrols
« on: October 28, 2013, 04:19:13 pm »

As of now, the "Patrol" option in the military scheduling screen is practically useless. Why? Well, since no dwarf alive seems to know what a "Patrol" actually is. They all simply walk around the patrol points, at their own pace, one at a time, and usually a good distance apart from one another. None of them seem to grasp that a patrol is supposed to, you know, move as a squad instead of individually, so that if they get ambushed they, you know, can actually fight them off instead of getting killed horribly.

Would be nice, since dwarves clumping together certainly happens for parties and teaching and stuff.  I guess this would fall under the umbrella of military formations which was on the cards to be added a while back, but got postponed IIRC.  Hopefully patrols would receive some love when armies and other related stuff gets handled.
