Summary0008541: Dwarves refuse to fight for no clear reason (possibly related to being near map edge)
DescriptionSometimes, I can have a large swarm of military dwarves right next to an enemy, with or without orders to kill it, and they will do absolutely nothing for no clear reason (they aren't stunned, etc.) and will just sit there and wait for the enemy to kill them. The two circumstances under which I have observed this in my present game have been near the map edge (which is hard to avoid on a 3x3 embark).
Steps To Reproduce1) Load save from http://metamagick.net/region1.rar [^]
2) Try to make the squads a, b, d, and e which are near a goblin (with more immediately to the north) fight

Sounds like 0008367 . the 'happens near the edge' part might be new information though.

Also, you need to upload it to DFFD.
