Fortress and Royal Guards.. do they exist in 2010?
« on: July 08, 2010, 07:07:12 pm »
As the title says, do they exist in the latest DF? Any info on them in the wiki is refering to 40d and not 2010. And it would be nice to know if i could just assign people to them instead of making a seperate "Police" squad and having it patrol

Not in the way they did in 40d. The Captain of the Guard is a squad-leading position like the militia commander and captains, and fortress guards are his squad members; the same holds for the Hammerer leading a squad of royal guards. I don't know whether they take on law enforcement responsibilities.

The wiki is notoriously inaccurate on subjects at the cutting edge, frequently reflecting passing memes, folklore, or the word on the street instead of true dwarven science.

Hmm I'll fiddle with it and see if they do stuff automatically, and update the wiki accordingly

Yes, the captain and his underlings act as police officers should the need arise.
