The squad will move out to slaughter the deer. Now I just move the cursor over the deer and hit enter. There are a few options for kill orders, but I just want to kill the deer, so I’m going to select “kill creature at cursor” (enter). Now that I know that, I’m going to press “s” for squads. It’d probably be better to attack a deer than a bull moose, so I’m going to zoom to the deer by pressing “c”, the zoom-cre key. I have a deer and a bull moose in my area. Press “u” to go to the units screen, and scroll down until you see some wild animals (which you should). Now how do we use it? First, let’s find something to kill. Finally choose one of the training swords or axes (make sure you are selecting the weapon for the right dwarf, which you can change in the middle column).Īlright! Now we have a fully functional squad. Now press “W” (CAPITAL) for weapon, and select “specific weapon”. Press “m” for militia, then press “e” for equip. Right now, they are equipping a random melee weapon, and it is sometimes useful to tell them which weapon to use. When you’re done, let’s tell a squad member to equip a specific weapon. Let’s create some training swords and axes in the carpenter’s workshop. Right now, our squad members will pick up any melee weapon they can find, and if they can’t find any, they will train in wrestling, which isn’t all that useful. Once you do this, you will see members of your squad go into the barracks and on the units screen, you will see they are participating in combat drills or training.Ħ. This is now the barracks, but there is one more thing to do before our squad will start training.ĥ. Simply press “q” and move the cursor over the weapon/armor stand and press “t” to make your squad train here. Press “q”, bring the cursor over the armor/weapon stand and press “r” for “make barracks/armory”. When the armor stand or weapon rack is created, place it anywhere in the barracks. Also, you may want to place some beds in the barracks so the militia can sleep there. While you wait for that to be created, place a door on the entrance to the barracks. Or both! Both of which can be created in a carpenter’s or mason’s workshop. Now, we need to create an armor stand or a weapon rack. It is good to create barracks close to the entrance and stairs, because those are the two locations that threats come from. Dig out a barracks room in the following area. Now we need to create some barracks to train our squad in. When you are done, your screen should look like this.Ĥ. Press enter to set this squad as Active/training. Then go down to “Active/Training” and move the selector right, to your squad’s name. To activate this squad, we first have to press “a” for alerts. Make sure he/she isn’t vitally important, like your woodcutter, or only carpenter.ģ. My fortress only has 10 dwarfs, so I don’t really have many to spare, so I’m going to make a two-man squad! Move the selector to the right, and then to the right again to choose the first dwarf for the squad. Now we will add some dwarfs to the squad. We will set them to use metal armor, even though we don’t have any (we will buy some when a merchant comes).Ģ. You will be asked what armor you want them to use, or if they are archers. Press “m” for militia and press “c” for create squad. So we’re going to take this one step at a time. Militias squads are created with the following steps Motivating line of the section: You’re better than “taking breaks”!
