New Military Order: Escort
« on: November 27, 2010, 04:34:18 pm »
  I really want this so I can better protect my weavers/miners. Possibly hunters, or I need to find a way to forbid the novice hunters from hunting dangerous stuff like cave crocodiles.

This is a platinum warhammer. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. it menaces with spikes of platinum.
there is an image of the goblin Utes Gozrusrozsnus and dwarves in elf bone. The goblin is making a plaintive gesture. the dwarves are striking a menacing pose.
this image relates to the slaying of Utes Gozrusroz

At present, I take the time to my weavers and miners with steel plate and an axe, and the army of woodcutters that feed my magmaless fort ARE my actual army. THey all go into the dwarven closet for a year until they hit legendary at least in dodger and armor user.

But yeah, this would be kinda nice

This has many uses. protecting the children, protecting the liaison ... my liaison was jumped quite recently and cut into ribbons.

Not cool.

The crossbow squad, 'The Bolts of Fleeing' wouldn't even show up.

Yeah this would be really cool. Also, kings and other nobles could request a constant military escort, which could be achieved via the escort function and some military scheduling.

Hold fire and stealth should probably be the same thing, cause once they fire they aren't sneaking, and I don't see any use to hold back that can't be accomplished with the RTB or defend burrow.

a Station on Target would do this easily.
