Миссии — это команды в Режиме крепости, отправляющие один или несколько отрядов для посещения мест за пределами крепости. Они могут быть созданы в информационном меню Цивилизаций/мира (нажатием c при просмотре основной крепости). Есть несколько типов миссий, таких как рейды, исследования, возвращение артефактов, возвращение граждан.

Note: This is all done "off screen" - you have no control of the dwarves' actions once they leave your map, not until (with luck) they return.

Overview

Рейд — это общее название миссий, направленных на занятое, чужое место, обычно для ограбления артефакта или смертоносного сражения (хотя в основном целью является захват артефакта).

Исследование — это миссия, направленная на незанятые места, включая те, которые ранее принадлежали вашей цивилизации, эти миссии в основном сосредоточены на поиски артефактов, которые могут находиться на этих локациях.

Рейды и исследования вы можете создать путём выбора места (клавишами со стрелками) на карте информационного меню cЦивилизаций/wМира. Если просматриваемое вами место содержит (по точным знаниям или по слухам) артефакты или заключённых, они будут перечислены. Также будет показано время необходимое, чтобы добраться до этого места ("a short trip", "a day's travel", и т.д.), раса, население, и ваше текущее политическое отношение (мир, нейтралитет, союз и т.д.). В нижней части экрана появится подсказка, в которой вы получите информацию о типе создаваемой вами миссии (т. е.'R: Raid/Explore this site'). Если место недоступно для посещения, подсказка будет серого цвета, и текст пояснит вам, почему нельзя создать миссию. Миссии нельзя отправить в места, занятые вашей цивилизаций, но можно отправить в незанятые/заброшенные места, как сказано выше.

Также нельзя отправить миссии в локации, недоступные для ваших отрядов (т.е. через океан/на ледники). Если всё хорошо, вы можете нажатием клавиши r создать миссию и выбрать отряд.

Отряды на заданиях, которые проходят через водоем (хотя и не полностью отрезанные им, как в случае с перешейком) иногда будут прокладывать маршрут через воду.

В дополнение к "рейду" по умолчанию, вы можете проверить dдетали, чтобы выбрать другой подтип рейда:

• рейд (по умолчанию: отряды будут пытаться избежать обнаружения)
• разграбление (открыто напасть)
• уничтожение (открыто напасть и уничтожить поселение)
• требование единовременной дани
• требование постоянной дани
• захват и оккупация
• требование капитуляции и оккупация поселения

Соседние цивилизации:
Теперь, прежде чем вы выпустите свой первый отряд, чтобы сокрушить врагов и увидеть, как они будут повержены вами, посмотрите на свою цель на экране h владений (в разделе c цивилизаций). Здесь показана политическая ситуация. Все локации с одинаковым значком - даже те, которые не прикреплены, - являются владениями одной цивилизации. Таким образом, если вы вступаете в войну с крошечной изолированной деревушкой с населением меньше 10 рядом с вами, вы также вступаете в войну со всей цивилизацией, представленной всеми другими квадратами с той же иконкой, ближними и дальними.

И карта не статична - все эти другие, более крупные цивилизации стремятся поглотить более мелкие, так же как и вы. Поэтому действуйте быстро, но действуйте разумно и обдумывайте свои возможности!

Рейд

In a raid, your dwarves will sneak in and attempt to steal items from the site, especially if they're artifacts. It will usually train your ambusher skill, so it may be useful if you want to raise that particular skill quickly. If you send someone to raid a site while they have a baby, the baby will go with them and also gain Ambusher skill.

Примечание: Будьте осторожны при выборе места ограбления. Если вы нападёте на место цивилизации, которая с вами в мире, вы можете устроить войну между цивилизациями.

Разграбление

On a pillaging mission, your dwarves will openly attack the site, and if successful will result in your dwarves stealing livestock and loot if you have those options selected in the [d]etails menu. Pillaging uses the military tactics skill of each army's highest-leveled tactician, giving the side with a better one major advantages in the battle.

Разрушение

When razing a site, your dwarves will both openly attack and attempt to destroy the site, resulting in a more prolonged attack. If you are sure that your army will win against the opposing one, and you want that site gone, a razing mission is probably what you want to perform. Your dwarves will still bring home loot and livestock if you have these options selected. Like pillaging, a razing mission uses the military tactics skill.

Дань

Demanding tribute (one-time or ongoing) may result in the site providing goods to your fortress (if successful). They will do so in the form of a caravan that will drop off the goods at your depot and leave. Tribute caravans tend to be relatively small, but they are guarded. You don't have any control on the content of the tribute. What they bring depends on the civilization's available materials, the site's size and tracked items and so forth, and may range from excessively mundane (like a bunch of average quality clothing) to extremely useful (like exotic animals). Notably, tributes are one of the few ways to obtain evil animals tamed by goblins, such as beak dogs, for instance. Yearly tributes usually happen at the beginning of a season and may be arranged in any season, including winter. Demanding tribute is one of the few ways to "contact" another civilization without triggering an outright war, and therefore ensure that it will send out regular caravans afterwards.

Завоевание

Conquering a site relies on military force, while demanding surrender relies on negotiation under the threat of military force. If your demand of surrender isn't successful, your dwarves will then attempt to openly attack the site. There is no visible drawback to not always demand surrender beforehand, and taking over sites with minimal bloodshed can be surprisingly easy, especially for the low-population ones.

If successful, occupying a site will make it one of your fortress's holdings. Note that your forces will remain on-site as occupiers. One of them will then claim the title of administrator of the place, "after a polite discussion with rivals". (This will be announced in a lovely purple message.) The previous administrator of the place will also likely be killed by your dwarves, as is standard in the conquering mechanics of Dwarf Fortress (in worldgen and afterwards).

You may request (through a messenger) that your occupying dwarves come back to your fortress, but the administrator will remain there regardless. Dwarves that you request this way will still have the labor preferences you've enabled for them prior to sending them out, but won't be part of a squad, so you will have to re-enlist them after they come back. There is also no guarantee that they will wear the same equipment as they had when you sent them out, so you may not be that keen on strapping them with very valuable gear after all. Note that insurrections are explicitly disabled for your holdings, so at the moment there is no drawback to not requesting every single occupying dwarf to come back to your fortress (apart from FPS concerns).

Возвращение артефактов/граждан

An artifact recovery mission sets a specific artifact as the objective of a mission. This usually involves traveling to the last known or rumored location of said artifact. If your squad manages to encounter a bit of fun on any form of mission, members of those parties can be captured as prisoners by the inhabitants of the site you attempted to raid. When this happens, you can create a citizen recovery mission, whereupon the assigned squads will attempt to rescue the prisoner from whatever site they are held at. Captive citizens can join civilizations that captured them, so your next raid to the same site can be met with your own armor-clad legendary warriors as defenders, leading to unexpected fun.

You can also instruct your squad to free members of other civilizations you find at your destination. These other prisoners you rescue will come back with your squad and seek sanctuary at your fortress. Sometimes, even uninhabited tombs can contain "prisoners" that you can rescue. If you accept their request, these prisoners will become partial citizens. These units will have all basic labors enabled (such as hauling, construction, and the like), and will have any labors they are skilled in set to active with no way to deactivate them. Consider setting your workshop profiles a little more aggressively than normal if you don't want them filling orders reserved for more capable hands.

Artifact recovery and citizen recovery missions are created by selecting the desired recoverable from either the missing citizens menu (accessible with p) or the artifact menu (accessible with a). Once you've selected something, press r to create a new mission, and move into squad selection. Although you can technically select recoverables that belong to sites of your civilization, squads on these missions will almost instantaneously return, and will deliver no report data.

Выбор отряда

Squad selection, as the name implies, simply involves selecting a squad (or multiple squads) to be sent out on the mission. Even if you do not select any squads by exiting the selection, the created mission will remain extant and active, albeit with no squads assigned to it.

Once an active mission has one or more squads assigned to it, the dwarves in those squads will automatically prepare themselves and leave the map's edge.

Разновидности добычи

Depending on the civilization you are raiding/razing, the loot may change. For example, when you are raiding elves, you won't get metal items; you will mostly get grown wood items instead. This also applies to livestock: Raiding elves may result in the looting of many different types of animals (all tame). When raiding goblins, you will, interestingly, be able to obtain tame beak dogs, which are only trainable by dwarves, never tameable.

Примечания

• Pressing m on the Civilization/World Info screen will show a list of active missions. You can reassign squads and delete missions on this screen.

• When a squad returns from a mission, an announcement to the effect of "<squad name> has returned" will be generated, and a mission report will be visible in the report menu. In the report, the path the squad took is traced on the map, and the events that took place along the way are revealed.

• Pets and other animals on missions can be killed or injured.

• The mission will NOT start until all dwarves assigned to the mission exit the fortress. This includes military dwarves that are imprisoned, hospitalized, or otherwise unfit for duty. This can be fixed by removing the problem dwarves from the assigned squads. The mission will also NOT start if any assigned war animals have not left the fortress. Ensure no assigned animals are caged, chained, or roosting if your squad is gone for a long time.

• Sending a token dwarf to demand the surrender of a site can initiate contact with a distant civilization, providing an additional yearly trade caravan.

• Receiving tribute from a site can establish peace with that civilization, at least temporarily.

• Nobles on missions still expect their existing mandates to be fulfilled, but are unable to issue any new requests.

• Missions to a site will still be carried out if the site has changed ownership. This can lead to fun when you end up accidentally raiding your ally.

• Missions against your parent civilization or your current holdings cannot be created, but any existing missions against those sites can be modified and dispatched. Raiding your parent civilization may start a civil war.

• Sieges against your fortress take from a hostile site's population, which will leave that site woefully undefended should you decide to retaliate.

• Some Recover Artifact missions, in which the artifact to be recovered is held by a creature instead of placed at a site, produce no mission report. The bug has been noted on the DF issue tracker

• There is an uncommon bug where squads sent on missions will never return and be forever listed as 'traveling'. To fix this, enter your (m)ilitary screen and replace each member in the missing squad with a random civilian in your fortress, then remove those civilians from the squad and leave it empty. Next, go to your (c)ivilizations/World Info screen and cancel the mission the squad was originally sent out to do. This is possible now that the squad is technically disbanded. The former members of the squad will eventually return to the fortress after a few days (thankfully still carrying their equipment) and it will announce 'XYZ squad has returned' when they do, even though they aren't in the squad anymore. You will need to delete the old empty squad and make another, as the game still thinks they are part of the old squad and won't let you re-add them to it.

• Dwarves who lose their limbs offsite won't actually realize they don't have their limb anymore until they get home, at which point everything they were wearing or holding on it will fall to the ground.

Отчёты о миссиях

Mission reports have an animated map on the left side of the screen. A path is traced out from your fortress to the destination and events are "revealed" on the right side of the screen.
