Kill order not canceling?
« on: December 17, 2010, 08:42:13 pm »

Alright,so I sent all 4 of my dwarfs in a squad to kill a giant.They do it,but after they kill it they just stand around.I look at the squad,there is a flashing red "kill [insert giant's name here]".The cancel order button is shaded out,and so does nothing.Dwarf respond to other orders(move,kill other creature) but always go back to the giant's corpse and display the flashing kill order.How do I cancel the order?

I assumed you kept spamming the cancel order key and it did nothing?

Try setting the squad to inactive.
If everything keeps failing just disband the squad and remake it.

Was the squad in question selected before you hit cancel?

How come you added a baby to your avatar?
Is it because of what I think it's because of?

Perhaps you're thinking of Urist Imiknorris, who previously used that avatar?

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Yeah, this used to be Imiknorris's avatar. When he ditched it I lopped it up like a hungry motherfucker and plopped a baby on there so people wouldn't mix me up with the former's avatar.

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