Weird things happening with thoughts
« on: November 03, 2014, 10:32:07 pm »
So, I was playing a normal fort, and nearly immediately after breaching the first cavern layer, I notice a troll at the top of my staircase. He wasn't hostile or attacking anybody, he was just standing there. I walled off the cavern layer instantly of course, and later, when I checked any of my dwarve's thoughts, they were spammed with "They feel vengeful after joining an existing conflict" or something, and this was on EVERY dwarf in the fortress. No battles were going on at all, and the troll was still just standing there. Then a few minutes later, another troll appeared inside the bedrooms, but he was also not doing anything. A while later, I notice a C in the top left, I check the reports, and there are literally about 60 dwarves next to one of the Trolls beating them up. It was a fucking battlefield in the dining room.

Yet, the trolls didn't start (or I didn't see any combat reports) fighting until quite a while after they appeared, and quite a long while after my dwarve's thoughts had been spammed with vengefulness. Does anybody know what's going on?

Thanks, now I'm going to be paranoid about creepy trolls showing up in my bedroom and biding their time until I get used to them before ripping my face off.

Dwarf fortress in 50 words: You start with seven alcoholic, manic-depressive dwarves. You build a fortress in the wilderness where EVERYTHING tries to kill you, including your own dwarves. Usually, your chief imports are immigrants, beer, and optimism. Your chief exports are misery, limestone violins, forest fires, elf tallow soap, and carved kitten bone.

If any of them are made of fire, throw stuff, run, and think non-flammable thoughts.

Well, a wave of 40 immigrants just came in while I was barely managing to provide food and beds for 80
