Marksdwarves won't kill invaders ...
« on: November 01, 2010, 02:06:50 am »
Hi,

I have a squad of marksdwarves equipped with crossbows and bolts stationed on my fortress outer wall, with a squad of visible invaders at the bottom of the wall. My marksdwarves just won't shoot at them. The invaders are only 3 or 4 tiles away, on the z level below, and my dwarves haven't used a single bolt.

I tried the [k]ill order, and that didn't help either. How do I get my dwarves to do what I want them to?

For info, there is no path between the invaders and my dwarves. I locked the doors that lead to the outside. I am reluctant to open them because there are probably other ambushers out there and they'd be able to kill my fort in no time (chaos dwarves). I am using v31.16 and civilization forge.
