Summary0012540: Unexpected interactions with angels when embarking on vault
DescriptionThis is a bug I found while embarking on a vault where angels wouldn't
attack dwarves.

I had figured out a way using DFhack to embark on vaults. I did so mainly
because I wanted to see what the structure looked like and how many angels
would be inside. As soon as I embarked a large group of angels came
charging out and attacked my dwarves. I thought that this was the end since
we were outnumbered even though they were only assistants however I was
mistaken. The dwarves slowly inflicted wound after wound upon them and they
weren't hit at all. Even the archangel came out and same thing no dwarves
were harmed. The only dwarf that did die was due to a giant lizard. I was
confused so I checked the combat logs and sure enough the angels didn't
dish out one hit to the dwarves. They simply dodged or were getting hit.
Something odd I noticed is when one of them got into a conflict with a
giant lizard they did hit it. I am not sure if this bug also applies to
angels found deep underground but it should be looked into.

I am using a windows 11
Dwarf Fortress version 50.09 steam

Update from email: I have an update and I think I have found the issue. Angel assistants and
archangels are registered as domesticated livestock so they will not fight
back. Soldiers on the other hand are intelligent and therefore cannot be
domesticated so they are still able to attack.

You can cause all sorts of unanticipated behavior in DF by using DFHack. Unless you can replicate the same behavior without using DFHack, we do not consider this to be a bug in DF. Please reopen or open a new issue if you can replicate this behavior without DFHack.
