How to rescue people / get artefacts
« on: February 03, 2018, 08:45:52 pm »

Raiding works fine, if they get it done they will come back with items and artefacts from the site but if i send them out to get an artefact or rescue seomeone they just leave and return one tick later with an empty mission report.
if i raid  a site with prisoners in it they will jsut return with items not with the prisoners

It's been reported trying to get artifacts held by someone always fail with those sent on the mission returning immediately.
My experience with artifact recovery is limited to target a necro tower next door, and those missions resulted in one of:
- Succeeded to get artifact
- Was detected, fought, and escaped (without the artifact)
- Was detected, fought, was injured, and didn't return or result in a report (and Legends Mode info revealed the dorf was dead). I think there should have been a report if I'd played it longer.

I've tried a raid against a ruined site half a day's walk away, and that squad is just gone. 4 month later they hadn't returned or provided a report, and I could find nothing in Legends Mode (no entry for the site, no entry for the squad leader, who was not reported dead).
I won't raid a ruined site again...

I found out that the map is centering on your own fortress after you issued a rescue / retrieve mission instead of the place in which the target is located.
This leads to your squad "leaving" and "arriving" one tick later giving an empty mission report

I cannot reasign the location where they should go to rescue their mates after selecting one on " the people" screen it jumps to the squad selection, then it centers itself on the fortress.
Is this a known bug ?
( i am aware this thread is a mess, i will edit it later)
