I've run into a rather vexing problem: it seems that my military forces have decided that they are the enemies of my civilization and of my embarkation group, and have declared some kind of civil war...

Description of militia leader: "...He is a citizen of the Trades of Dancing [my civ]. He is a former member of the First Tome [I can only assume this is my embarkation group; it was never one of my squads]. He is an enemy of the First Tome."

Similar descriptions go for the two recruits in the squad and, strangely enough, a random Ranger who was never part of the military at all, but who still decided to spend some time shooting up the fort randomly before he somehow lost both his hands. Sometimes they register as enemies of the Trades of Dancing, sometimes not. Ditto for the First Tome. This means I'm getting a slew of "Urist McDwarf cancels job: Interrupted by Ranger/Militia Commander/Recruit." messages, plus the occasional wounded dwarf. For the most part, though, the military members are too badly wounded to do anything really major, seeing as they survived a fight against a Bronze Colossus (which they won with the help of the dwarf caravan guards). Oddly enough, they still show up doing their regular jobs on the units screen, not tantrumming or anything.

So, uh, has anyone run into anything of the sort before? Dwarfs declaring themselves the enemy of your civilization/group and being treated as such by the other dwarfs?

It's happened before. It's caused by a member of a civ attacking another member of the same civ for whatever reason. Apparently they aren't removed properly so people around them attack them but are also labeled enemies because the original offender is still part of the civ. Just wait it out and remove everyone from the military. If you have enough food, everyone outside a small group of dwarves will be killed off, ending it for now. You'll probably never be able to get immigrants again though, as your remaining dwarves will likely attack them because they're still enemies from the loyalty cascade.

Basically, you're screwed, so unless you want to play an enforced hermit mode and have no friends, you should just start over.
