I tried using "force siege" but if I type 'force siege FOREST' for example I get an elven caravan. If I type force siege EVIL I get a goblin caravan. How do I fix this?

You cant, the script no longer supports starting sieges, since the update to DF2016, because Toady one changed how armies behave on the world map.

Yeah, gotta move the armies around now, which isn't easy.

I'm not sure how well it would work, but it is possible you could add a new army with a script that included all the links and such, but I'm pretty sure they would all arrive naked at best.

If you wanted you could load up civs you're around and check the df.global.world.entities[k].armies for an actual siege size group with the army_controller flags and such necessary to know they're being sent to fight someone else, then move their target to your fort, which I might be wrong about, but seems as simple as putting the army_controller.pos_x/pos_y within the bounds of your fortress, but it uses a different coordinate layout so the top left of the world map is 0/0, then the top left of the world map tile to the east of it is 47/0, etc, the bottom right corner of a 257x257 is 12335/12335, and it's a bit weird to figure out exactly where your fort is from fort mode.

That was 0.40, actually (in 2014).

I'm surprised that it's triggering caravans instead of doing nothing, though. Perhaps Toady finally took out the ID for siege events, so it's triggering the wrong one now. I'll look into it.

Ah, another question, is it normal to never be attacked bu anything?

[lethosor]

Update: "force siege" isn't an option in at least DFHack 0.43.03-r1 and later (before then, it was CivAttack, but did nothing).

"force caravan" seems to work as expected.
