Possible Duplicates:
How do I get rid of unwanted immigrants?
How do I get my dwarfs inside?

Hi, I know that in DF 40d, there was a way to tell the dwarves to stay indoor. Is there any way to do that in 2010... It's quite useful when there are goblins attacks.

@LessPop how do you figure? The intent of the question is not even similar. – Raven Dreamer♦ Nov 28 '10 at 2:34
Yeah, I misread the question. Consider the close vote 'retracted'. :/ – LessPop_MoreFizz Nov 28 '10 at 2:45

To do this you need to familiarize yourself with burrows and military alerts.

http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Burrows

The key is to make a burrow that is completely behind your defensive perimeter. Then, you can access the military alerts screen (Default: m - a) and set things up to restrict civilians to a particular burrow.

At that point, whenever you change the alert, when the sieges and ambushes come around, your civilians will not leave the safety of their burrow.
