Is it possible to have more than 1 entities that will siege you?

I'm not sure, but I think it will work if you make one of them a 'Nuisance'.

This will probably be drastically different with the next release.

How about if two entities were evil with siege tags?

When settling, you can only ever have contact with one evil race at a time.  If you have multiple evil entities, you will be able to pick between the two, but you won't be able to have both at the same time.

However, you can use the nuisance entity grouping to get in one more entity.  Just give them the [SIEGER] tag and you should be good to go.

Hopefully this will all begin to change at the introduction of the Army Arc, where the various civilisations will find far better (and easier) reasons to hate you than vague abstractions of 'good' and 'evil'.

As well, all the posts i've seen you make are flame posts, barely if at all constructive.

I still want to have something that will reliably siege when I add it into the game.  If I add in a demonic army from hell that exists to purge all mortal beings from the world, I don't want to find them sending peace caravans to my fort.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.
