Dwarves do silly things around fortifcations
« on: December 10, 2007, 09:52:00 am »

This is in 33d, although I didn't see anything on the fixed list that looked like it would fix this issue.

Basically, the problem is that unless a dwarf is right against a fortification, he won't shoot through it. However, he'll still see the goblin (or whatever), causing him to stand still, one or two squares away from the fortifications... forever.

I've seen dwarves sleepy, hungry and thirsty, intently staring at the goblins just a few tiles away. Deactivating them from the military will cause them to run away, but doesn't solve the problem of getting my dwarves to shoot through my fortifications.

Non marksdwarves are also affected by this - they'll sit forever, just staring at the goblins on the other side of the wall instead of running to a door to attack.

I assume that this bug is also affecting the goblins, since they'll also stare at my dwarves forever, unwilling to try and find a path to attack them.
