Siege Bell
« on: March 02, 2008, 09:05:00 pm »

Toady should add an item into the game called a "Siege Bell" - basically a giant bell that wakes all the sleeping dwarves and keeps them from sleeping for the duration of the ringing. It would work like a lever, and be useable when the fort comes under siege or when the player wants to mobilize all dwarves temporarily. Dwarves woken  from their sleep would get a negative thought, but other than that I don't think that there would be many required changes. What do you guys think?

I always fully support ways to keep my squad from standing around in the barracks because their leader decided all this shooting goblins had made him sleepy halfway through their attack.

Fire the leader.  I have egalitarian squads.

This has been suggested every month or so for a few years so I'm sure it's been noted.
