Undead siege for more than a year now
« on: April 10, 2017, 01:28:18 pm »

For about a year and a half my fortress has been besieged by undead cheese men. My soldiers walked all over the map, checking virtually every tile, but found no enemies. Tried to use exterminate command but no enemies show up there. Is there any way to use DFHack to break the siege or maybe the attackers will leave by themselves?

Ok never mind. Yeah, known bug. I think the mod forum, or perhaps the bug tracker has some advice on getting it to stop.

I don't know how to fix this if it's what's going on, but sometimes critters try to path onto the map through a solid object and get stuck in a permanent limbo of not being loaded into fortress mode, but being considered 'at your fortress, besieging it' by the game anyway.

Is there any chance that the siege will eventually end by itself?

Very unlikely.
I had similar issue and was given a script for DFHack that fixed the problem. But it was goblin siege and DF 0.34.11 so I guess that script would not work now...

Intelligent is a strong word to use around DF.
you're lucky it wasn't an adventurer.  I've heard they can bash your skull in by throwing water at you.  UNDERWATER

Tried to use that script, it spawned a titan, I killed it, but the siege is still there.

What can be causing this?
