So I have a Siege going on. Most of the goblins have blithely walked into my cages, but a few (five or so) have been loitering around near my stairs. If they were meleers, I would just extend my oh-shit burrow into their field of vision, but they're bowmen, and after an incident with an ambush of crossbowmen I am not going to risk any more of my dwarves.

So.

Any other ways to make them come hither?

sacrificial lamb. With dual shields.

What about merchants on their way out? I do have some dwarven merchants ready to leave, they might be somewhat useful if less under my control.

Do the merchants have guards? If not then they could lead the archers farther away from your cages. At least, that's been my experience.

Build a chain out of their aggro range but within pathing. Put a critter on the chain. They'll come to shoot it.

Mmm. Might work! -goes to get a sacrificial lamb... or maybe a kitten...-

If someone would just create a mod that lets you chain pets, or children, this game would be perfect.

[Lielac]

Oop, nevermind, dwarven caraven guards went and finished the three gobbos still loitering around, good-bye siege, that was boring.

... are they going to siege me again?

[EmperorJon]

Yes. Again. And again. AND AGAIN.
