Trigger?
Just noticed that I got my first (Goblin) siege at 100000 wealth. Anyone else confirm that this is the trigger? Runspotrun 00:06, 9 November 2007 (EST)
- I had my first goblin siege at about 600k wealth. They sieged me at 15 levels above ground level, where I had a stairway to my fortress. They loitered around for a season and left. Kaivosukeltaja 07:31, 9 November 2007 (EST)
- Thanks. I removed my addition from the article. Runspotrun 09:35, 9 November 2007 (EST)
I think part of the trigger is killing a Goblin. I'd captured several Goblin thieves, but it was only after I'd dispatched them that I was besieged. So, (wealth > certain amount) and (has killed Goblins) maybe? Runspotrun 23:09, 12 November 2007 (EST)
Troll squads
I had 3 troll squads of exactly 8 trolls in each during a siege. Had a goblin king that time but no beak dogs. Can it be that no beak dogs in goblin civ=better chance for trolls?
- I been sieged at least half a dozain time in my current fortress, and I've never encountered trolls or anything bigger than skilled goblins. In my latest siege, all the goblins are specialised in something but I have no trolls or wolves or whatever to show for. Any idea on this behavior? --Eagle of Fire 14:16, 26 November 2007 (EST)
- Apperently they haven't access to any chasm biome for trolls and to whatever biome for beak dogs.--Another 15:42, 26 November 2007 (EST)
Mounts
Woe betide those who anger humans. I added a second human race with [BABYSNATCHER] instead of [SIEGER] for barbarian raiding action. When they sieged, every last one of them was riding a horse. When I approached the buggers kept running away and going all Parthian shot on me, too. It was pretty bad ass. -EarthquakeDamage 02:23, 10 November 2007 (EST)
Still bugged?
Are sieges still bugged in 33b? If someone knows for certain, could they add the version number to the statement in the article? Ta. Runspotrun 19:52, 18 November 2007 (EST)
i just got siege and i think the bug is still there cause just redownloaded it for erroring reasons...the goblins just sit there and wait for something...
im wondering if (thanks to the bug) the goblins well just die of thirst or something?? or well just o away?
- Yup, still bugged. Toady needs to rewrite the siege AI, 'tis not a simple bug. Goblins will go away on their own after a while, but that beats all the fun. Noctis 15:04, 21 November 2007 (EST)
