I had crossed the river, magma'd the chasm, and had crossed the magma river in search of hematite, when I found the glowing pits. My fortress was pretty big at this point, with about 130 dwarves, numerous rooms and lots going on at any given time. The game was starting to chug a little during the best of times.

Being a newb, I had no idea what the pits meant, except that it was probably bad. Before I could do much, the demons sprang out and started killing everyone. My reaction:

1) Mobilize the entire fortress into three ginormous squads, one of which had ~70
dwarves.

2) Station all of them by the bridge across the magma river.

The demons killed their way across the bridge before my dwarves responded, but they got held up on the bridge across the chasm, because they couldn't kill the recruits fast enough. My marksdwarves seemed to kill one or two, but as I was scrolling over the mayhem, the game crashed.

I'll attach the auto-generated logs if you like, though it's just a big long list of buildpath violations.

Wow, the exact same thing just happened with me. Even the "n00b I didn't expect the demons" thing.

Also noteworthy, no human caravans showed up even though I had all the necessary constructions, maybe they are tied together somehow?

I am running version 0.22.110.22f

Is there a chance they fried some storage containers in a stockpile?  This caused a crash recently and was fixed in the one I just put up.

The demons definitely made it past the bridge and into my fort. It is possible that they destroyed some barrels/coffers/bags/cabinets, but it could not have been bins because I didn't have any.

I retrospect I should have kept my save, I generated a new world to try out the dies. I'll keep an eye out and re-post if it happens again.

[Starfisher]

That's a definate possibility in my case. There were some bins by the magma forges holding blocks and such, and since the demons were rampaging everywhere they could have easily destroyed the bins.

I got the new version and replicated the situation, and no crash. I let it go until the demons smashed everything and the game told me it was all over, without any crash, so it looks like this is either fixed or a rare error

Barrels count too.  We'll chalk them both up to the fixed bug for now.
