Yo Buddies.
Got a funny problem. my first goblin siege has arrived, after a number of squads of ambushers. They're led by a goblin spearman riding on a giant bat. This initially seemed like it might be my doom, as I have no effective military, and have been relying on cage/weapon traps and a lava chamber. The Batrider could easily fly over my wall and start killing my llamas at any second he wanted. Only problem is that the goblins aren't moving. they are just sitting on a hillside, the batrider is two z levels above them, not moving.

I don't think its the traditional path finding issue, especially for the bat rider, their are plenty of ways in. The foot troops will need to pass through the trap hall, but other wise could get inside.

Also, I recently modded Giant pandas so they didn't need to eat bamboo. They still managed to starve to death. Could this have caused my issue?

So what gives? I'm hoping the human caravan can take them out it when it arrives.

tldr: goblins aren't moving

[FLIERS] are bugged, it is reported to bug tracker and may be fixed during bugfixing after next version.

Huh. Should I train up some marksdwarves and shoot it down? When I do so will the rest of the siege wake up?

I'm honestly not too dismayed by it. More fearful that they might suddenly spring to action when I don't want them too.

What exactly are the details of the bug? I looked at the bug tracker, but couldn't find anything about [fliers] or [flyers] or flying or anything like that.

Flying siegers that spawn mid-air won't siege. They will remain at the edge of the map if they aren't provoked. They will attack any dwarf within sight, so even sending melee soldiers to them will get them to attack.

My mistake, it is not reported (I mistook it with "leader dead/captured, entire siege is standing")
