Hello Bay 12 Forums, my name is Sandant however I am fine with being called Sandy, I have been playing Dwarf Fortress for about two years now and I have reached the level of skill I refer to as "Competent", none of my forts die from hunger or thirst anymore, I can stave off invasions, I have even had a very successful year 1 fortress that only ended due to a Forgotten beast syndrome that was transmitted by any pet that touched its body (Which was a lot before I knew what was happening). However I have now reached a point where the game is almost, boring, and a part of that seems to be just luck. I have a few forts running and one of them is in a terrifying Biome, where other than human blood pouring from the sky and a plentiful variety of a few types of "___men" There is not much going on. I have had to triple check to make sure that INVADERS are turned on.
That, though interesting, is not the source of my question, my other fortress, the Ageless Aged Abby of Ages, Is kind of happy-go-lucky fortress, despite the presence of goblins on the world map, they don't seem to care about visiting my fortress, who's population is now 204, there are several thousand prepared meals, 1700 drinks, a massive farm complex including extensive above-ground fields, and a thirty Dwarf military, even my nobles seem satisfied requesting I don't export any crossbows. So without goblins to kill and a disturbing lack of beasts considering beasts and savagery are both set to max..... I did what any player would do, Instigate war with the humans and elves, mainly by slaughtering Caravans. Well after a Skirmish with humans, (where I learned that a bronze whip is actually a Lightsabre that goes straight through steel helmets), I had a pretty hefty amount of injured Dwarves. Luckily in this fortress unlike several others where patients starving to death in bed is a regular occurrence, my doctors where pretty on-point. So my military stood down and Dwarves went to rest one marksdwarf bled to death while limping to the hospital. Then I looked at the unit screen and saw one trader escaped the blood-shed and was crawling along a mountain losing and regaining consciousness. So I sent one squad after him; and this is where we actually reach the question, the Dwarves went out and killed him, and then, one of them was found dead, at first I assumed it was just and injury that wasn't treated, but no "Urist McSwrodDwarf was struck down/bled to death appeared", then 2 more bodies were "found" and i checked the combat log, an expert Macedwarf, in full steel armor, had bashed the traders head in, and then turned on her three other squad-mates killing them. The combat logs where all in blue as if my Dwarves being brutally murdered was a good thing. She has an old head injury but that is it and no announcement of her being enraged appeared. she is now running around the mountain side killing herbalists and farmers, but even though people have seen her kill people and lived to tell about it, she doesn't count as a criminal, and it won't let my military attack her. She now has stripped out of her armor and is walking around in normal clothing brandishing an iron flask, she now runs when she sees a dwarf and she interrupts jobs as if she was a hostile mob, also my hunters and rangers shoot at her if they see her, as if she was a thief, but she just dodges or blocks the bolts. I need help guys,I didn't know if I should put this in the bug section or not since I don't know if its a bug or if this is just something I have yet to encounter.
So, asking for help both on the oddly peaceful state of my worlds, and for the monster currently derping around outside, yours truly
-Sandant
