Summary

0010277: Pastured war dogs refuse to attack invaders

Description

I've heard this bug mentioned, and it was apparently supposed to have been fixed a few releases ago. However, even if it was, I figured it might still be worth submitting a report because I haven't managed to find another one specifically like it.

After dropping a small squad of goblin invaders into a pit with roughly twenty or so war dogs, the dogs just stood around and did nothing while the surviving goblins got up, gathered their bearings, and proceeded to massacre them. During the entire process, none of the dogs made even an attempt at attacking the goblins. The save is right before the goblins murder the last two.

Strangely, I've previously dropped goblin prisoners into the pit straight out of the cage, and while the war dogs did take a few seconds to respond, they eventually piled onto the dropped enemy and ripped them to pieces. No such luck here, however.

Steps To Reproduce

Wait and watch the dogs passively allow themselves to die violently. Checking the combat logs will show that none of the dogs have made a single attack, just dodging.

Additional Information

I am using the mod DF Revised.

(0036703) NadNutter (reporter) 2017-08-24 23:16	Oh, geez, I put the wrong category for this. That's unfortunate.

(0036705) mrmagolor (reporter) 2017-08-28 15:34	If the mod is a significantly major one to alter a good portion of the game's code, then this shouldn't be on the bug tracker, but on the forums, particularly for that specific mod.

(0036706) NadNutter (reporter) 2017-08-29 10:18	I guess. There have been some similar reports, though, so I figured maybe it was worth reporting this specific instance.

(0036712) Loci (manager) 2017-08-30 06:55	"DF Revised" appears to be a raw mod. I don't believe there is any raw-controlled attack logic, so the failure to attack would likely be a vanilla bug. This may be another "conflict level" issue like 0009977.
