Removing a traveling dwarf from a squad
« on: September 18, 2018, 11:58:24 pm »
I screwed up and sent my third military squad to occupy a village instead of the normal overstressed unneeded dorf.

Now, I've sent a messenger to request the squad back, and three of the four have returned (the fourth is now the leader of the occupied territory). Since one of the squad members is traveling, I can't set an alert nor assign orders to that squad, and the military screen doesn't let me remove traveling dwarves from squads. Is there a way to make this squad usable again?

The squad may be unusable, but you can remove the three dwarves from the squad and make a new squad.

One of the dwarves was the squad captain, and you can't remove captains with subordinates.

(I moved on from that save, but thanks for the answer)
