Summary

0008526: Civilian dwarves attack invaders

Description

When a civilian dwarf has his labor interrupted, he will sometimes go towards whatever interrupted him, rather than running away. This does not happen always, but I encountered it a few times when building defense walls. In those cases, dwarves would climb or jump down several z-levels just to be mauled by a bunch of goblins (and not even trying to attack back, although they managed to attack a minotaur another time).

Steps To Reproduce

1. have dwarves work outside (for example building a large construction)
2. wait for a goblin/titan/semimegabest attack
3. watch as dwarves path towards the invaders after they're interrupted

Additional Information

It MIGHT require the dwarves being on a different z-level without a regular (that is non-climbing/non-jumping) path to whatever is threatening them, since most of the time when there was a regular path they correctly ran away. I'm still testing this.
