Iron Man Turns into Guard
« on: January 14, 2008, 10:00:00 pm »

I started out right near a bunch of enemies, recruited my 7 guys and attacked - All of a sudden I was fighting some Guard??? - The ironman turned into a guard. He killed somebody and he was still an ironman, he only became a guard when the other 4-6 got over there and started attacking. I have a save if you can learn anything after whatever happened has already happened. - the "Guard" is still represented with an M like it was still an ironman.

Iron men are learning!

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

You should upload that save somewhere so Toady can have a look.
I suspect its the same bug which caused those dwarves to turn into megabeasts with dwarf stats, but in this case you probably had an iron man which had a 'low' creature ID(first 16 creatures or so in the world) which was overwritten by a 'high' guard ID, as opposed to dwarves which normally have high IDs who were overwritten with low ID creatures, in the megabeasts save.
