0004099: Missing dwarfs in squad screen - Dwarf Fortress Bug Tracker

Notes
(0015606) Granite26 (reporter) 2011-02-28 20:34	This appears to have elements of previous game contamination, as the squad also had the schedule from my previous fort (in another region) This was the first squad I created, and I created without having a commander (create new squad and then assign a unit to the first slot that I wanted to be commander.)

I've got a similar situation where there was evidence of previous game contamination. I assigned the militia commander through the nobles screen, then added some squadmates a few migrant waves in. I think what happened with me was that I accidentally removed the militia commander from his position, disbanding the squad. When I went to recreate the squad I was unable to find the former members. Thinking my work was lost, I added a new batch of migrants to the squad, assigning weapons and armor as usual. The next time I activated the squad, both the new and old members deployed to their station. The old members had no weapons or armor, since I could not assign them any via the military screen. Ultimately I was able to work around it by naming each former squad member militia captain in the nobles screen, creating and disbanding their squad in the military screen, and removing them from their position via the nobles screen. I think this works because it forces those dwarves out of their "ghost" squad and into a new squad. Removing them from that squad puts them back in the available dwarf pool normally, which means they can be reassigned to their first squad.

I assigned them to the second squad, and that seemed to fix the issue somewhat. It'd be nice if the squad screen labeled ppl who were in a squad.

(0015716) monk12 (reporter) 2011-03-03 13:44	In my case I was unable to find them in a second squad (or third or..), hence the elaborate noble screen workaround. Seems to be the same root cause.
