DF Suggestions / Civilian Work Groups
« on: January 10, 2011, 08:57:59 pm »
I would think that in terms of both safety and efficiency, it could be useful to be able to create civilian work groups (much like military squads). The members within the groups would then be allowed to freely complete their jobs within the area of the group (say 15 or 20 square diameter?) which would be focussed on the appointed group leader. Especially in hostile environments, I would think this would create much more safety in numbers, as well as allowing you to assign fighters to the group for defense. You could use this for general hunting parties, keeping multiple herbalists or woodcutters relatively safe, or provide protection when sending masons into a cave to build walls or fortifications and not just have random people wandering about.
