Bay 12 Games Forum

After my last siege, the siege tag wasn't going away even though it seemed as though I had killed all the invaders.  So I check out the units menu and discover one last troll - somehow stranded on a single tile of land in the middle of a lake (4-5 water tiles on all sides).  I had no idea how he got there, and he clearly had no idea how to get off.  My first thought - send in the marksdwarves! Unfortunately they won't accept a kill order if they can't path to it.  So now I've set up a ballista aimed at him and lob a giant arrow at him whenever I'm bored. He's been there for about a year now - he even hung out through later sieges.

Civilian alerts override normal burrow assignments.  When the alert is active, he'll be limited to burrow B, and not restricted by burrow A at all.

Thank you sir!

Do you have a meeting area set up? If you don't have one then dwarves are free to hang out wherever they want, but with one they should tend to congregate there.

Yep, a gigantic dining room (set as meeting hall), a zoo, and a statue garden.  That's what makes this so odd - they don't go running around outside or in the caverns this way, but something about Hell makes them giddy!

Set as a meeting hall allows dwarves to use it for parties. Do you also have a meeting area zone defined in your dining room?

Is this a real distinction? I didn't realize.  I've never had any trouble with migrants and such using my dining hall as a gathering point.

My queen finally arrives - and she's an elf! Bad enough, but I can't assign her any rooms, she just doesn't appear on the list.  Even worse, her bodyguards don't appear on the units list (though I can see them in Dwarf Therapist) and I can't add them to the military.  Anyone know what might be going on?

If I hit the population cap, and then lose lots of dwarfs, do I get new migrants? Or does hitting the pop cap turn off migrants forever?

You might want to move this to the modding forum, as a missing plant gloss is a problem with the raws/graphics and how the game is reading them. For the moment though did you make any changes to the raws/graphics/init file before this error started happening?

i2amroy, no one on the mod forum seems to be responding. Do you happen to know what files I should be looking at to fix such a problem?

No, I've never edited any of those files.
