Dwarf Fortress > DF Suggestions
A few new commands for squads!
RenoFox:
Nice ideas, especially arrest and rescue. With the nonlethal combat coming up, this would give a more hands-on method for capturing enemy leaders alive.
One important command would be "Hold Position", to keep dwarves from attacking enemies on sight. Not as advanced as formations, but would definitely make organizing defenses more efficient.
Itsdavyjones:
I do like the idea for ambulances, for that could help a lot of dwarfs after a battle is done a lot faster.
Bohandas:
I like the OP's proposed commands
GreatWyrmGold:
I like any idea that allows you to tell your little furry alcoholics to do something instead of...um...not helping out. Approval, especially for the "Escort" order. Notably, I'd like to suggest that a squad can be told to escort anyone who leaves a given burrow, say to go outside and cut wood in a dangerous area.
SuicideJunkie:
Hold position might work for what I'm thinking...
Mostly I want an order for the dorfs to fall back. Yeah, there's a goblin visible there, but there's also 20 more coming with whips and crossbows... you really need to fall back before you're overrun there, Urist.
It would be nice if they tried to avoid getting surrounded. It would also be nice if they didn't dive to the ground because somebody else stepped into the tile they wanted to attack the goblin from. Particularly if there's a perfectly good tile open to use right beside it.
Maybe that's just a need for more frequent pathing recalculations during combat.
