Skulking Vermin Ambush
« on: November 03, 2007, 04:07:00 pm »

I have a plague of Kobolds in my fort.  They came in a large group, including their ruler, recently.  I fought them off, and some of them run away.  I then see the message:
An ambush, skulking vermin!

And what do I see, but the kobolds are ambushing one of their own theives that were running away from my fort.  Shooting arrows and all.

I got a movie of it too.  The thief is really good at dodging arrows.

This bug happened in previous, non-z-axis versions as well. Basically the ambushing Kobolds (the ones armed with bows) don't recognize the Kobold thieves as an ally, so they pincusion them. Either that, or, some people think, the thief is being executed for a failed robbery.

Were the kobold thief and the ambushing kobolds from different civs, by any chance?  Do you have more than one kobold civ in your C menu?
