Summary0001316: Crash when exiting creature control in Arena mode (Legacy versions only)
DescriptionRecently i've been controling dwarves alot in arena mode, separating them as I set up duels and tournaments. Three times now the game has crashed when I pause the game, move a dwarf somewhere, exit creature control and unpause. I'm able to do this a dozen times or more without crashing but it eventually does.

I'm not sure but it's possible it could have to do with controling one dwarf, then controling another dwarf, with the game crashes when they try to target each other. It doesn't always happen but when it does it's always in this manner.

(skills and equipment of the dwarves seem to be irrelevant)
Steps To ReproduceCreate dueling dwarves in arena mode, pause, individually control the winners to within targeting range, exit creature control and unpause to let them fight. After a dozen or so times of doing this it eventually crashes at the unpause.

It just happened again and I can almost guaruntee that the crash happens when you exit creature control within targeting range of another creature before the other creature gets the chance to target you with the "I am creature 5! Prepare to die!" screen.
