I like asking in this thread more than any other so here goes :>
Do you guys/gals have any good tip for military? How do you divide Training/Duty scheduling? And the squads?
I have right now one squad with 10 Melee dwarfs, and one squad with 5 Ranged dwarfs. But I don't know how to distribute them so that I have like half the squad training and the other on duty. Do I have to get two squads of Melee dwarfs just to have one training and one on duty? And is it possible to train them to hard so they starve? :/

I don't know if I play this game "wrong" When do you guys find time to do all these crazy stuff you're doing. I've never ever gotten past Iron-production.
It goes something like this.
01: Embark. Choping trees, fixing Farms.
02: Digging out bedrooms (some)
03: Digging out workshops (mostly Mason, Carpenter, Gem, Craft, Bow, Mechanic and Leather)
04: Here it gets abit diffuse, Either I go for more food production or start my ironworks to get up.
I often dig straight down to the magma, and try to avoid caves on the way. I think its very annoying to spend Choke and stuff on 'regular' non-magma works. Its mostly here the game ends for me.
05: If I get my Ironworks up, I don't really know what to do. Sometimes I go for cloth industry, but I just get confused, and try to do alittle bit of everything.
By this time it probobly gone some weeks irl, and a new version is up so I just restart :p
