mod Suggestion
« on: February 10, 2023, 04:21:59 am »
Hey there,im new and not sure if this is the right place to ask these things

but is it possible to create a Mod that lets my Marksdwarfs behave like hunting Dwarfs?
Since hunting Dwarfs actually use their brains and kite the enemy, moving away from meele and shot the enemy
while Soldiers tend to use the Crossbow as a Club.

The internal mechanics of the game are not accessible, so no.
Toady didn't make Marksdwarves act like this on purpose, it's because of bugs in their code which need to be fixed/rewritten.
Can't just rewrite dwarf fortress with a mod. It's not an open source game.

Just use hunters for now. They work well enough and you don't have to order them about.
