It seems my military won't attack goblins
« on: October 07, 2012, 05:59:57 pm »
For some reason, my dwarves, who are fully equipted with Steel arms and Armor, won't attack the goblins who are attacking the fortress. They marched outside, but won't come closer to the goblin forces... Am I the only one experiencing this?

I'm trying to figure out how creeping eyes vomit despite not having a mouth.

Did you order them to attack?
Can they path to the goblins?
Are they all eating, drinking, or sleeping?
Are they berzerk?

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

1) Yes, I did.

2) Yeah, wide open spaces

3) Thankfully, no. I locked the fortress doors.

4) Nope! Every single one is ecstatic.

If the soldiers are outside, the goblins should path to them (unless a better target is closer). Maybe you could send us a screen shot if this is happening across one z-level.
