About drafting
You can draft any dwarves in your fortress by pressing 'v' -> 'p'. Then you press 'A' (note: 'A', not 'a')
If you draft dwarves with good non-combat skills, it will generally produce an unhappy thought. Dwarves with good non-combat skills and little or no "normal" skills will not like being undrafted.
Promotion / Squads
Pressing 'm' will lead you to the military screen. Here you can promote dwarves and create squads. This is done by pressing 'enter' on recruits.
Choosing weapons
Pressing 'm' and the 'w' will show you a weird screen containing:
- Shortened names for weapon types
- A number indicating the number of weapons you want them to wield
- Shortened name for the armor type they shall wear.
Controlling your squads
By pressing 'x' you will select squads near your marker. you can 's'tation the squads.
