This is a save from 44.12-r1. I had a successful raid on a dwarven settlement of another civ, and the spoils list contained "Three dwarves" and "Four dwarves". In the citizen list, they show up as Peasant (Tame). I cannot assign them jobs, assign them to military squads, or expel them. They drink and eat fine and will carry mugs around. I was able to put them into a burrow just fine. I am using autobutcher, which had slaughtered 5 of them before I ever noticed they were in my fort. I checked the butcher's shop and indeed had several dwarf items like prepared dwarf brain and dwarf skulls. I looked in my burial chambers and 2 of these peasants had been buried after being butchered. So the coffin contains lovely items like prepared dwarf heart and chopped dwarf liver.


The dwarf peasants who are still alive can be assigned as performers and scribes and other noble positions. But I cannot expel them or assign them to military squads or give them labors. And they aren't wearing clothes and don't seem to pick any up.

I have had this occur in the past with goblins in another fortress. I don't have the save for that any more. I had two come back as spoils from a raid and I just thought it was normal.
