Do all members of defeated armies flee?
« on: July 21, 2015, 03:38:44 pm »
I've heard of people doing all kinds of horrible things to defeated goblin armies, but does any just let them go somewhere outside? What's their behavior like once they're released? Do they have an understanding that their force has fled, or is there some other governing ai from the time a hostile is released that just hones in on dwarf flesh? If they do become dwarf seeking missiles, can a subsequent battle send them running from a morale failure?

That is, of course, provided you can still find goblin armies in this version. Which is why I'm asking instead of checking.

Goblins will always try to go to the map edge. This can be used for goblin computers.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

I'm fairly certain they don't learn anything and will return to attack your fortress again at some point in the future if you let them go.
