I'm not sure wether this is a bug or not. If it is I guess this thread should probably be moved, but anyway, here goes:
About a year ago (fortress time) I was seiged by some gobbos, but after they were all slain the siege-tag wouldn't go away. I have checked wether or not some gobbos remain on the map, hidden away somewhere where they can't pathfind their way to my fortress, but the unit screen says that besides my dwarves and their pets the only living things on the map are four troglodytes. However the game still seems to believe I'm under siege. No caravans or migrants have arived in the past year.
So is there something I'm missing, and is there something I can do about this situation? I have a pretty good fort going now, and I don't want to give it up, but things get boring if no caravans, migrants or new attackers arive.

Check the map carefully for permanently floating goblins (i.e. goblins with a light blue background).  They might not show up in the unit list, or might show up as deceased.  If you find one, there's a solution to your problem, though it's a bit complicated.

EWven better - use dwarf manager. Check the unit list, and hurt all the gobbos, twice so they die.

I don't know if it's possible but if the siege was drawn-out there might have appeared some ambushers that are sneaking around... but i don't think that's it

Tried all of the above with no result, so I guess it's got to be bug of some sort. Ah well losing is fun!
Thans for the help anyway.

Hi!

Bad news I bring. I recall having heard of this bug repeatedly (actually, I thought it was back in 2D that I heard about it first). I was 'lucky' searching through the bug list:

# 000363 □ [dwarf mode][invasions]   (Report) siege flag never went away

As you can see, there is also a thread in the bugs forum:

You may wish to look at it, but it does not seem to provide a workaround or solution.

Sorry that I can't deliver happier news. See the bright side: That seems to be a relatively rare bug, so you were really lucky to get hit by it against all odds :) :) :)

What's that solution?  I have a flying goblin that won't go away.  It isn't stopping further attacks or anything, but it's still annoying.

Me helping Warlord with the same problem: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=27140.0

Basically you use Dwarf Companion to remove the "projectile" state from the goblin, except the bit flags seem to be mislabeled so you just have to uncheck all of them, which should result in the goblin falling to the ground.  Actually finding the goblin in the list can be tricky though, since he might be labeled as dead already.

edit: the relevant flag is labeled 0x1.4

Thanks Deathworks Sad as it is to see the fort go it had to happen sometime, and I've moved on to a new fort, it will be a sweet one.
At least the bug is rare then, hopefully I won't see it again.

Thank you!  Dwarf Companion finally did the trick!

Woot.
