Squad assignment overlay
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The squad assignment screen can be sorted by name, by migrant wave, by stress,
|
|
|
|
|
by various military-related skills or by long-term military potential.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If sorted by "any melee", then the citizen is sorted according to the "melee
|
|
|
|
|
skill effectiveness". This rating uses the highest skill they have in axes, short
|
|
|
|
|
swords, maces, warhammers or spears along with physical and mental attributes and
|
|
|
|
|
general fighting skill. Citizens with higher rating are expected to be more
|
|
|
|
|
effective in melee combat with their corresponding weapon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If sorted by "any ranged", then the citizen is sorted according to the "ranged
|
|
|
|
|
skill effectiveness". This rating uses crossbow and general archery skills
|
|
|
|
|
along with mental and physical attributes. Citizens with higher rating are
|
|
|
|
|
expected to be more effective in ranged combat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If sorted by "leadership", then the citizen is sorted according to the highest
|
|
|
|
|
skill they have in leader, teacher, or military tactics.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If sorting is done by "mental stability" citizens are arranged based on their
|
|
|
|
|
mental stability rating. This rating is a measure that takes into account
|
|
|
|
|
facets and values of an individual and correlates to better stress values.
|
|
|
|
|
It is designed to be higher for more stress-resistant citizens.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If sorting is done by "melee potential" citizens are arranged based on
|
|
|
|
|
their "melee combat potential" rating. This rating is a statistical measure
|
|
|
|
|
that takes into account genetic predispositions in physical and mental
|
|
|
|
|
attributes, as well as body size. Dwarves (and other humanoid creatures) with
|
|
|
|
|
higher rating are expected to be more effective in melee combat if they train
|
|
|
|
|
their attributes to their genetic maximum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If sorting is done by "ranged potential" citizens are arranged based on their
|
|
|
|
|
ranged combat potential rating. This rating is a statistical measure that takes into
|
|
|
|
|
account genetic predispositions in physical and mental attributes. Dwarves
|
|
|
|
|
(and other humanoid creatures) with higher rating are expected to be more
|
|
|
|
|
effective in ranged combat if they train their attributes to the maximum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can search for a dwarf by name by typing in the Search field. You can also
|
|
|
|
|
type in the name of any job skill (military-related or not) and dwarves with
|
|
|
|
|
any experience in that skill will be shown. For example, to only see citizens
|
|
|
|
|
with military tactics skill, type in "tactics".
|
|
|
|
|
You can search for a dwarf by name by typing in the Search field. The search
|
|
|
|
|
field is always focused, so any lowercase letter you type will appear there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The squad assignment screen can be sorted by name, by arrival order, by stress,
|
|
|
|
|
by various military-related skills, or by long-term military potential.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If sorted by "melee effectiveness" (the default), then the citizens are sorted
|
|
|
|
|
according to how well they will perform in battle when using the weapon they
|
|
|
|
|
have the most skill in. The effectiveness rating also takes into account
|
|
|
|
|
physical and mental attributes as well as general fighting (non-weapon) skills.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "ranged effectiveness" sort order does a similar sort for expected
|
|
|
|
|
effectiveness with a crossbow. This sort also takes into account relevant
|
|
|
|
|
physical and mental attributes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "effectiveness" sorts are the ones you should be using if you need the best
|
|
|
|
|
squad you can make right now. The numbers to the left of the unit list indicate
|
|
|
|
|
exactly how effective that dwarf is expected to be. Light green numbers
|
|
|
|
|
indicate the best of the best, while red numbers indicate dwarves that will not
|
|
|
|
|
be effective in the military in their current state (though see "melee
|
|
|
|
|
potential" and "ranged potential" sorts below for predictions about future
|
|
|
|
|
effectiveness).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "arrival order" sort shows the order that your dwarves appeared at your
|
|
|
|
|
fort. The numbers on the left indicate the relative arrival order, and the
|
|
|
|
|
numbers for the most recent migration wave will be colored bright green.
|
|
|
|
|
Dwarves that arrived earlier will have numbers in yellow, and your original
|
|
|
|
|
dwarves (if any still survive) will have numbers in red.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "stress" sort order will bring your most stressed dwarves to the top, ready
|
|
|
|
|
for addition to a :wiki:`therapy squad <Stress#Recovering_unhappy_dwarves>` to
|
|
|
|
|
help improve their mood.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similarly, sorting by "need for training" will show you the dwarves that are
|
|
|
|
|
feeling the most unfocused because they are having their military training
|
|
|
|
|
needs unmet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Both "stress" and "need for training" sorts use the dwarf happiness indicators
|
|
|
|
|
to show how dire the dwarf's situation is and how much their mood might be
|
|
|
|
|
improved if you add them to an appropriate squad.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If sorting is done by "melee potential", then citizens are arranged based on
|
|
|
|
|
genetic predispositions in physical and mental attributes, as well as body
|
|
|
|
|
size. Dwarves (and other humanoid creatures) with higher ratings are expected
|
|
|
|
|
to be more effective in melee combat if they train their attributes to their
|
|
|
|
|
genetic maximum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similarly, the "ranged potential" sort orders citizens by genetic
|
|
|
|
|
predispositions in physical and mental attributes that are relevant to ranged
|
|
|
|
|
combat. Dwarves (and other humanoid creatures) with higher rating are expected
|
|
|
|
|
to be more effective in ranged combat if they train their attributes to the
|
|
|
|
|
maximum.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The squad assignment panel also offers options for filtering which dwarves are
|
|
|
|
|
shown. Each filter option can by cycled through "Include", "Only", and
|
|
|
|
|
"Exclude" settings. "Include" does no filtering, "Only" shows only units that
|
|
|
|
|
match the filter, and "Exclude" shows only units that do *not* match the filter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following filters are provided:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Units that are assigned to other squads
|
|
|
|
|
- Elected and appointed officials (e.g. mayor, priests, tavern keepers, etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
- Nobility (e.g. monarch, barons, counts, etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
- Mothers with infants (you may not want mothers using their babies as shields)
|
|
|
|
|
- Weak mental fortitude (units that have facets and values that indicate that they will react poorly to the stresses of battle)
|
|
|
|
|
- Critically injured (units that have lost their ability to grasp weapons or walk)
|
|
|
|
