Ok... so I have a bit of an ant problem down in my caverns that I want to get rid of. I tried sending my entire military at the hostile squadron, but the enemy queen spearants just slaughter my dwarves by the batch.
So instead of using brute force, I'm gonna use tactical bomb assault (aka cave-in).

Only problem is that my miners wont get anywhere near those ant creatures to dig the cave in.
It's not like the ant men can actually reach my dwarves, yet they just keep on running away like little sissies whenever they come near.
So any way to turn off fear or something?

so what else make dwarves strong and agile?

lol, your dwarf looks like a viking.

She just single handedly slaughtered two of my legendaries while sustaining nothing more than a red wound to the abdomen.

so umm... how do I use the move command?

So I'm getting my first underground cavern assault by a squad of ant men...

Great

The ant men are attacking some of my civilian dwarves...

Awesome.

I order my military of 10 well trained axedwarves and 2 legendaries to attack them.
They just sit in the barracks and do nothing...

WTF?

There's nothing blocking the way to the antmen, nor are the military members occupied with anything else. My civilian dwarves are able to get into the cavern no problem, but my military members do nothing...

I can attack elk and land creatures with the military, but they just wont go down underground.
Would the fact that I've made the barracks in an above ground location have anything to affect them?
