Summary0008310: Invader Squads Freeze When Squad Leader Dies
DescriptionBugged save file is here:

http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=9722 [^]

This is a bug demonstration fort showing that when invading squad leaders die, the invading squad freezes on the spot, and will not move or do anything else for an entire season. Just load the save, unpause, and it happens every time.

Save is from 40.10, but the bug exists in every version of DF from 0.34.10 to 0.40.12.
Steps To ReproduceWatch the invaders. The squad leaders jump off the Dodge-Me trap bridge into the magma, and immediately the squad halts and freezes. The second squad and leader approaches, and the exact same thing happens. Wait until Spring, and the leaderless squads will finally leave.

Even if you have non-military Dwarves enter the room with the Dodge-Me trap, the goblins remain frozen. It's like they're asleep.

I'm confused -- you commented at 0004552 weeks ago, but this appears to be the exact same issue. Please reopen if this isn't a duplicate.
