Necro siege, what happened?
« on: April 17, 2016, 05:15:07 pm »

I don't understand...

The warning message appeared. Then i activate my burrow. A ton of necromancer began to spawn everywhere, but nothing attacked me...
And they leave. .-. What the hell?

Maybe you are too strong for them? What about zombies, were there any zombies?

Current sieges can be broken without any fight, as if besiegers were assessing your forces and deciding to let it go. Also the status siege can be lifted even if most of the attackers are still on the map. They just lose will to fight (after some losses, if there were many).

I think these drive-by sieges have been a thing since the active world change (ie world history still happens in fort mode)?  They were either going after a different site and just passed thru yours, or the necros were scared off by something.

Hello/goodbye sieges started appearing (at least commonly) with 0.42.X, so they're newer than the world activation. Most, but not all, hello/goodbye sieges occur while goblins aren't allowed to attack you yet, which obviously shouldn't be a factor for necro sieges. Necromancers themselves seem to usually sneak and run away as soon as they're discovered, but they may arrive with or without an undead entourage.

If only necros were present I'd guess they ran away as soon as they were discovered (which ought to result in one message per necro).

Is there anything dead on your map for necros to raise?
