Siege just stays outside?
« on: February 19, 2009, 09:57:24 am »
My fortress is being sieged but the goblins are just sitting outside! What can I do to make them charge in to my drowning chamber? Mwahaha!

I always just found it peculiar that the police are always able to pin the crime on you 100 percent of the time. The fact that organized crime rings exist at all without being bombed to hell by the national guard is evidence enough that this is not strictly the case in reality.

there must be a path to your dwarfs. so a raised drawbridge foils the plan.

Hi!

Check for locked doors then.

Siegers are currently cheating. They will only move if there is a possible path to your dwarves. They will ignore traps in that consideration, but any locked door will cut the path short.

If all else fails, bait your trap room with a recruit (^_^;; (Just make sure you can get him out before triggering the actual trap).

No locked doors either =( . I've had not such problem with previous sieges, this is my third...

DF doesn't work well on this computer so I can't upload to DFMA atm (will try later today). Meh, I might as well link the old version for now, the new version isn't that different. http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-4497-stonetrapthestrongaxe-guardofthemountains

Sieges are just buggy like that on some maps.  Seems to be a pathfinding problem for sieges if I remember correctly.

On maps with that problem for me I just let my dwarfs back outside.  Eventually the siegers find a path to them and start moving then I order back inside.
