If I only have dwarven neighbours will I get sieges?
« on: March 17, 2012, 01:33:00 pm »

I've embarked on some island with only my parent civilisation as neighbours in a calm biome. Should I get a defence system up and running or am I safe until I breach the caverns?

Okay fine, maybe I'm too lazy to find something to put here.

No neighbors means no sieges. On a calm biome, yeah, you should be utterly safe until you breach something.

You won't get sieges, but I believe you will still get visits from Titans and other megabeasts once your population/wealth is high enough.

Incidentally, if you don't like sieges you can disable them entirely by editing d_init.txt and changing [INVADERS:YES] to [INVADERS:NO].

I'd rather play fair because I'm looking forward to *serrated steel discs*. (Did I get masterwork symbol right?)
