Suddenly, can't direct order some squads.
« on: October 29, 2022, 12:08:24 pm »
The k:attack and m:move orders are grayed out for about half my squads. I could order them before, but now I can't. What happened?

EDIT: FIXED IT. The squads that I couldn't command had had dead members on raids. You need to replace the dead spots with other fighters (members from different squads work). Once the squad has been filled back to 10, I could order them normally. Strange bug.

On the 's'quad screen, you hit the 'p' key. Hit it again.

How did I manage to successfully apply the lessons of The Screwtape Letters to my perceptions of big grocery stores?

No. I believe it's related to dead members on a raid. The squads I can't command right now are the ones who had casualties.

Is there a setting for having a minimum of 10 squad members, like in patrol and such? If yes, it might not be a bug. You'd probably need to lower the amount of minimum members.
