Siege Enabled - Missions Map Button
« on: July 13, 2021, 06:59:34 pm »

Current problem with taking large cities and forts is that usually it is a stalemate as less than 100 dwarves can't defeat a defending army of thousands in one single attack

The idea of this button is to press for the map-based missions

This tells the squad(s) to not quit the mission early because of a "stalemate" that is simply the result of the enemy force being too big or w/e
Instead the squad stays and plays the battle out

The drawback being that the mission might last years even, much like artifact recovery or prisoner rescue missions

The boon would be regular mission report updates of the operation like you'd receive from the stalemate results when the squads return

By making it optional the player gets the choice on whether to commit to a siege or not
