Summary0000266: Multiple Militia captain positions available for militia commander
DescriptionHaha, well this isn't as buggy as I thought, I just noticed that militia commander and militia captain are different positions. Every time I fill a militia captain position, another one opens up. Is this by design? Also, I can appoint the same militia commander to each new open militia captain position ad infinitum.
Steps To ReproduceOpen up Nobles interface screen (that needs to be a new bug category ;p)
Appoint a militia commander.
Select "militia captain", you might need a certain number of dwarves.
Keep appointing more militia captains.

Having multiple Captains is working as intended.

Per the raw file entity_default, militia captains are [NUMBER:AS_NEEDED].

However, I don't think the same Commander is supposed to be in charge of each squad (even though he has authority over all the militia squads).

I intentionally set him as militia captain over and over. I haven't even used the actual military screen this game, maybe to look at it once.

This is a bug. Toady just said as much at 0000536:0008492.

This seems like it's related to the this and/or the other issues you referenced, Foot, but I thought I'd ask here whether it is pretty much covered or should be submitted as a new issue:

Created "militia captain" squads in the M screen are still, it seems, being tied invisibly to the dwarves who were in those positions, even if they have been removed from those positions (in both the (N) and the (M) screens).

I'm guessing this because in my game I have created three militia captain squads (aside from the CG and Mil. Cmdr. squads) , and wanted to move the captain of the *third* squad to be the captain of the *first*. I noticed I could not get dwarf (A), who was previously Position 1 of Militia Captain squad 3, to appear in the list of selectable dwarves for position 1 of squad 1, even after removing her from squad 3, removing all other militia captains in the (N)obles screen, and removing her and putting her back in as the first militia captain. She just didn't show up on the list for the militia captain squad 1 or 2, no matter what, though she always shows up in the select list for position 1 of militia captain squad 3, and she does show up in the select list for positions 2+ of *all* squads.

I read over this and issue you just referenced (and a few others), but it's enough of a twist that I thought I'd bring it up and ask. The problem does survive save/reload, and I do have a save available.

So, is this just another aspect of the same thing that Toady has pretty much fixed for .07, or is this possibly a separate issue to submit?

ChickenLips: could that be 0000319?

It certainly sounds related, though I don't see them being silently restored to their former positions (at least for the a couple of weeks of game time I let it run just now to see). The positions in both the (N)obles and (M)ilitary screen remain empty, at least as shown.

This bug is no longer present in the current version (40.09)
When someone is promoted to militia captain, he is no longer part of his old squad.
I have not managed to have anyone be part of two or more squads.
