Summary

0008104: Marksdwarf attacks dwarf that lets enemies out of cages

Description

Combat report & map:
http://i.imgur.com/HrXzoEq.png [^]

I have a set of cages filled with goblins, and I am letting goblins out one by one so that my swordsdwarf can kill them.

Above this area (but can't see the cages, to avoid friendly fire) is my marksdwarf. He is here incase a goblin escapes.

However, the dwarfs that go to move the goblins out of the cages get scared when they remove the goblin. "Overcome by terror". This by itself isn't an issue.

The issue is that the marksdwarf sees this dwarf as a menace to the rest of the population and proceeds to fix it. With big metal bolts.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Have a marksdwarf watch the caging area
2. Place a cage with B-J
3. Order a goblin to be moved to the new cage
4. Watch dwarfs get skewered with bolts

Additional Information

I posted a reddit post about it:

... and someone referred me to this report which appears to be near identical:

Should I find a way to upload my save?
