I got 2 wrestling champions stuck ontop of each other in my barracks. both are hungry, thirsty and drowsy so they must of been there long (since i have water flasks and 2 rations). They are not sparring i have checked. No injuries either. They just sitting there but they sometimes try to "drink" or "eat" but they do not move. I tried different methods to try get them to move like change their groups, weapons, armour, lock n unlock doors, sleep on floor, on duty. None them work I also can't make them civilians because they are champions. I tried searching for few minutes on forum but didn't really see a bug similar to this. Since i have written this 1 of the dwarves have died from thirst and the other one can now move.. i don't want loose this champion is there way solve this problem so i can resort back to a save?

Do you have a save from before the champion died?  If so, use Task Manager to end the DF process so that you can exit without saving, then load the save.  From there, you can follow along with the advice in this thread where somebody else is currently trying to solve the exact same issue.

That thread gave me ideas heh thanks. Well placing a bridge under the stuck soldiers did nothing. But i made it a drawbridge and linked it to a lever and launched the soldiers in a wall 2 hexs away. So i can confirm that doing that method on stuck soldiers works.

Also If anyone has problems with a stuck soldier trying to pick up equipment (which i just got right now) simply change the standing orders and the dwarf will move again.

THIS IS BAD ADVICE.

NEVER give this advice.  Ever.

This advice is what leads to nemesis and inflate errors, months or years down the line.  STOP RECOMMENDING THIS, PEOPLE.

I didn't know it was a verified cause of the Nemesis Unit Load error thinger, but there's still times I'd rather take my chances with that than deal with whatever bug I was savescumming to avoid.  That said, I'll think twice before recommending it to people.
