Migrants coming up as Friendly units (Not joining my Fort)
« on: February 28, 2012, 07:07:04 pm »

So, I have played this world as an Adventurer, then retired him and went for Fortress Mode.

Then, something happened, which I never experienced.



Bug?
Any ideas?

I just updated from .34.02 to .34.03.

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

We'll...they are still gathering around the edge of the map, even with a Dwarven caravan on my Depot.
New migrants have arrived and joined appropriately though.

When that happens to me, they turn out to be were-creatures. Never seen that many show up at once, tho:p

Well, I hope not.
Received 3 waves since I started playing, 2 of them are bugged.

Is it possible the game is drawing migrants from different dwarves civilizations--so they are allied but not yours to command.  The old bug only affected "traders" which I think are genned for the purposes of staffing caravans (they seem like caravans staff in every other way)

This is new and will probably be fixed in the near future--worldgen kinks getting ironed out

In the meantime, dwarf therapist might allow you to enable labors and actually make use of them :D worked on the were-creature dwarfs, even tho they listed friendly and I couldn't touch em in DF
