Military seems retarded now
« on: January 01, 2015, 02:50:15 pm »

So I just started playing again, and in this version it seems like military is just dumb. I had a siege of about 15 gobos run into my fort. I had 60 armored and trained military dwarves there to greet them. But instead of ganging up on them, most of the dwarves just stood around and it seemed like they fought one at a time.

What gives?

The issues might have something to do with the number of squads in the military: I have never employed more than 20 soldiers at the same time, and I haven't seen any cases of total pacifism, yet. The attack orders don't work, but my dwarves fight back properly if I get them close enough to the enemy.

Yeah there is definitely something to this I think. When I send 20 at a time it works just fine.

This is going to be tough.

On the bright side at least you have plenty of reinforcements...
