So, got a goblin siege, no big deal, I lock the doors and position my fighters behind them and the archers at a vantage point. They brought trolls, so the doors were going to break, and when they finally did, rather than stay at their stations and wait like I wanted them too, all my dwarves rush into the newly-created choke-point, with a swarm of goblins on the other side, and twenty or so of them die, one-by-one in a neat little line, bodies piled in the doorway.
Is there any setting like the old "stays close to station" option to prevent these suicide rushes? it seems like dwarves will chase an opponent to the ends of the map and back, no matter what their orders are. In older versions I could set them to stick close and a defense like this would hold up, but there seems to be no way to prevent suicide charges now without specifically building blind-spots so your dwarves don't see the opponent.
This is probably the worrse siege I've had, and it should have been simple, but because they wouldn't keep their station, choosing to go single-file into the goblin meatgrinder, I lost over half my military in a matter of minutes.
I tried to deactivate them to get them to flee but they kept their line moving for whatever odd reason.
