Actually, they do abandon him or her and run if enough time passed (and possibly enough of them got captured or killed as well). I had a "siege" last for almost a year with just a bunch of swordsgobbos hanging around the cage with their squad leader in some corner of the map, while life went on quite splendidly for the Dwarves in the other corner and underground. Finally, two of them followed a cat into other traps, and the remainder fled.

This sounds like the reason I always have one siege squad standing around by my initial defenses even after the rest are all wiped out further into the fort. The first traps are a line of cages and the goblin sergeants like to run ahead of their squads.. maybe I should get rid of the cages til this is fixed.

Sorry for the dupe report. I experience this in 40.8 as well.

Can confirm this, but it looks like something that could use a save, and I'm surprised we don't have a save of it yet.

Oh yeah, a save. Here you are. 40.09.

Frame rate is a bit hampering, though. (and it's only the fourth year.)

Still in 40.24. http://imgur.com/jKBgD9G [^]

I have caged three goblins and 21 more are now just standing around. It seems like this reported issue.
