My military keeps chasing after animals that wander near the entrance (and they all do.. it seems animals have a homing instinct, they all head straight for my entrance). They end up chasing the animals around the map one at a time, running to goblin ambushes one at a time, and dying one at a time. This is incredibly frustrating. They should be given the option to ignore things that aren't a threat (e.g., warthogs) instead of chasing after them incessantly.

I second this, it's silly to see the dwarves go off chasing random critters and wasting their ammo while there's an attack going on on the other side of the screen.

This, and an Ignore target order in addition to the Kill order, would receive my full support.

Count me in too... This problem is further magnified by the fact that critters are pretty much always faster than dwarves at present (known issue, back burner for now) I did like three entire laps around the map chasing one annoying alligator on a kill task only to get thwarted by a buzzard decoy maneuver and lose sight of the bugger leaving the entire squad milling around in the corner with their thumbs up their butt still having failed to kill the alligator.

They did eventually find and kill the gator, after it ate a few more civilians.

Are you kidding?  I WISH I could get my military to chase the giant mole that keeps running around my cavern!  They just sit on their thumbs and ignore it.  I was about to suggest 'harass animals' instead of 'not harass animals'.

Looking at this, i think we should can suggestions until we've dealt with the bugs.
