What are y'all doing for military management?
Once fortress population is high enough, it seems very difficult to sort dwarfs into specialized squads from basic militia training. Is there anywhere we can see dwarfs' capacities for different varieties of violence other than in their individual info pages?
I do not find myself using Dwarf Therapist for labor now, but I sure am missing it for military and livestock management.
Am I missing something obvious, or am I just a spoiled, pointy-eared, woodmonger?
You can get Therapist to work in v50, though? Get the most recent download and poke around for the memory layouts for .07, or whatever those files are called, they're all on the github. Just drop those in and replace the others.
As far as my process, I simply do this:
In Therapist, filter out nicknamed dwarves. This removes anybody who has a better use elsewhere, as I name them stuff like "Weaponsmith," etc. (If I feel like caring, stressy dwarves get a nickname along those lines too.)
If I only want a few military dwarves, I use Therapist to sort by strength, control-click a few dwarves at the top, sort by weapon skill, rope in a few of those, etc, until I have enough.
Next, simply right click the group and batch nickname them all "Speardwarf" or whatever weapon that group will train in.
Lastly, make squads and use Therapist to add them to the squad so you don't have to poke through DF's unwashed lists.
