If you saw the menus my instructions make sense. I've just memorized all the hotkeys.
Here's, basically, how the military system works.....
You create squads and assign dwarfs to those squads. You can tell the dwarfs what they should wear and use for weapons in this menu also
You create "Alerts" which are a bad name for "Schedules"
You dictate what an alert should do on a month-to-month basis... I usually make a "Training" alert which makes them train every other month, because if they train for too long in a row they get bitchy about "Long patrol hours"...
You assign alerts to squads, so after you've set up a few alerts you can assign like "Squad A will be training, Squad B will be patrolling the main entrance attacking any hostile enamies, and Squad C will stand down until I tell them otherwise"
there is also a menu for telling them what to do right now, instead of relying on a schedule.
The schedule system is great because it's completely
set it and forget it...
It's not an easy game, but it's really
fun
