Summary0003423: MIlitary dwarves went 'insane' started killing civilians
DescriptionMilitary Dwarves were stationed during caravan ambush. One unit guarded the trade depot the other the civi burrow.
Sent one unit to kill the invaders, and the goblins were quickly dispatched; yet when I allowed my civilians to return to regular activity my military started attacking the civilians.
Tried: pulling the military back into active duty, change schedule to guard a remote point, releaseing them from service, they don't respond to squad commands either. Nothing works. They all seemingly went beserk and are murdering my civilians, one by one.
Checked the moods and thoughts for all of them: none are insane or perticularly unhappy. Saving and reloading the game doesn't change anything.
Will reload from a previous seasonal save and see if I can reproduce
Additional InformationPut the savegame aside, should anyone desire to look at it.

Are you certain you didn't accidentally order your military to attack part of the caravan itself? Attacking a Dwarven caravan is known to produce the exact symptoms you describe, commonly known as a "loyalty cascade".

Do you have a save that reproduces this problem in 0.31.18? If so, it would be helpful to upload the save to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ and post the link here.

 Only save game that I have is after the problem started so it may not be of help =(
Regardless, here's the save game: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=3427

Thanks for the save. Are you able to rule out Quietust's suggestion at 0003423:0013362 that perhaps you accidentally included some of the merchants in the kill order on the invaders?

I believe when this happens you can look at the offenders' description screens and it will say they are an enemy of your group.

This may be a variant of issue 2913 - in mine the military decided to start killing merchants not civilians.

No further information from the OP. Closing in favor of the 'loyalty cascade' issue.
