0004606: Militia attempting to kill own civilians after killing caravan.
After ordering the deaths of a dwarven trading caravan because I wanted their stuff and may have pissed them off, I get a flood of job cancellation messages due to my own men being interrupted by gem cutters, farmers, and the like. I work out that those are the civilian titles of my militiamen that killed the dwarf caravan, and I try stationing them outside. Instead of going where I ordered, they chase my expedition leader around, exactly like they would pursue a fleeing enemy.
Get a trading caravan to come to your fort. Slaughter them personally. See what happens.

Sorry, this is a duplicate. I don't know how to delete it, if that's possible.

0003259.

Also, if ordering your military to murder an innocent caravan causes such problems, then don't do it. In future versions, you might even find yourself being sieged by the Mountainhomes for such an act of treachery.
