This is from the development blog:

"What have we got... some of the fighting in towns was caused by goblin performance troupes attacking people they didn't recognize. So that's stopped." - Toady

Seems Toady saw this issue and has fixed it. Well atleast for performers, I think someone said that a barkeep attacked someone too...

Sad to see it was considered a bug and got fixed.

I think this was fitting perfectly with the goblin nature, making them infiltrating cities and other places under the cover of music/dancing troupes and once they were accepted, start killing everyone for their demon masters.

The timing was just stupid, it had to be a bug. It happened way too consistently, and was almost always incongruent with their previous behavior.

Yeah, it was amusing but the lag from 300 units deciding "OH HEY, I JUST MET YOU, AND THIS IS CRAZY, BUT I THINK I HATE YOU, SO I'M GONNA KILL YOU MAYBE!" was awful.

I checked legends mode later on and found out the goblin belonged to a goblin bandit group but at the same time the village was marked as his "home", i also saw that a few years earlier someone else got killed by another goblin in that village.

it also said that the goblin decided to kill me after an "argument" which i dont remember having with him oO, I guess he made that up ^^

The ones that I looked at the histories of had never done anything violent. They were bards, poets, dancers, even scholars, never murdered anyone, never even got into a scuffle.

I think the problem is that worldgen may ignore several tags from creatures and those tags are only "existing" at gameplay time.

By example [CRAZED] added to a creature entry should make it wanting to kill anything and anyone that does not belong to the same specie.

But if you worldgen with that modified creature, you'll find them joinging other species sites and living with them without a problem as if [CRAZED] didn't existed.
While if you're a different specie and visit a location in which such a modified creature can be found, it will want to kill you, as it should be according to the tag.
