Take the Invader Challenge! Attack your fort!
« on: June 26, 2009, 01:40:47 pm »

What to do:

1: Grow your fort until it's fairly defensible.
2: Wait for a really big siege.
3: Use dwarf companion to make all your dwarves members of the invader faction, and vice-versa.
4: Lead your invading forces to conquer your fort (or get splattered).
5: Post results!

Easy mode: With some retarded reproducing megabeast race.
Normal mode: With Orcs or uber bowgoblins.
Hard Mode: With goblins and nerfed bows.
Legendary mode: With kobolds.
Bonus: See how long you can hold the fort with your invaders.

I thought you were going to suggest we Invade another fort, for those who dont know how, just start on an enemy fort.

Military dorfs are the busiest if their partner is also in the military, Military children are my forts future, also its hilariously tragic when a mother carrying her child into battle gets hit, and the baby dies....
I fixed that up for you.

if by "invade" you mean "come over for tea" then yes, that would work.

Yes, sadly you can't seem to actually make them your foes... not in 40d, anyway. If you really hate them, you can undermine their tower and set up a cavein. But that's another story.

actually it works just like pissing elves off if you use something like a spike trap or a catapult and hit one they all turn aggressive. :D

Also if they are kobalds or any of the other common siege races once you get their first siege they all turn aggressive too.  But if you have something like goblins on your map as friends and kobalds siege the goblins will attack the kobalds, it only works if you have goblins and goblins siege you then they all siege you.
