Multiple Entities concerning Sieging, Ambushing, Stealin
« on: June 04, 2008, 12:22:00 am »
On my last thread I was told that only one Entity with [ENTITY_GROUPING:EVIL]can siege my fortress even if both entities have the [SIEGE] token on them.  But I have some other questions related to this but I would rather have them all answered here rather than make separate threads for them.

1.  Is it possible to have two entities siege the fortress of both entities have the [SIEGE] token but one entity has the [ENTITY_GROUPING:EVIL] token while the other has the [ENTITY_GROUPING:NUISANCE] tag.

2.  Is it possible to have more than one entity kidnap the babies and children of the fortress?

2b.  If so do they have to have different [ENTITY_GROUPING:alignment] tokens?

3.  Is it possible to have more than one entity ambush a fortress?

3b.  If so do they have to have different [ENTITY_GROUPING:alignment] tokens?

4.  Is it possible to have more than one entity send thieves to steal stuff from a fortress?

4b. If so do they have to have different [ENTITY_GROUPING:alignment] tokens?

That's all I can think of at the moment.

t''s so sad.  It''s as if De Beers as invaded Dwarf Fortress.  I nearly cried when I saw how valued and rare diamonds were in Dwarf Fortress.

I believe the answer is yes to all, but the next release may scramble things up completely.

1) Possibly, but nuisance races only attack if they steal stuff, not according to game time.  So you probably won't get much mileage out of it.

2) I haven't found a way.  I rather doubt it's possible.
2b) They would.  No matter how many evil civs there are, only one of them can be your neighbor per fortress.

3) Yes.  I *think* elves and humans no longer attack, but kobolds do already... if they steal a lot of stuff from you.
3b) Yes.

4) I'm pretty sure it's not.
4b) But yes, they would.  You only get one nuisance race neighbor.  Even if there are multiple available.

Nuisance races WILL ambush without stealing anything.


I made a Nightwing based nuisance civ, which only had ambusher.  Fun!

Nuisances can siege.

If you take vanilla kobolds and replace their [itemtheft] (or whatever it really is) with [SIEGER], they'll siege. Be sure to take out [AMBUSHER], otherwise you'll get a "vile force" siege message and half a dozen ambushes at roughly same time instead of straight up fights.

Has anyone gotten Friendly civs to siege?
