Summary

0002952: Goblin stuck in midair, causing endless siege

Description

I have a pit that I use to drop goblins to their death when they attack, and during the most recent invasion a goblin has somehow managed to get stuck in the middle of the pit - several z-levels above the ground. This wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that this goblin is causing me to endlessly be in a siege (ie the SIEGE text at the top will not disappear). I've tried building a construction in the same square as the goblin and even crushing it with a drawbridge. Both methods haven't worked; the goblin still occupies the square.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create multi z-level pit.
2. Drop lots of goblins down the pit repeatedly until one of them gets stuck.

Additional Information

I'm guessing this has to do with how falling units are treated, since my military dwarves won't attack the goblin, and I can't view it with the "view units" (v) interface.

Notes
(0011517) Rafal99 (reporter) 2010-08-05 05:06	This was happening in 40d occasionally too. The only workaround I know is to use utility like Runesmith, and uncheck the "projectile" flag for the goblin.
