So I start up a new fortress in late spring, mostly to get adamantine weapons and armor for my adventurer. After a quick and uneventful summer, I get to autumn and then this happens almost instantly:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The siege had no necromancers to speak of. It had 15 members, mostly goblins of various skills, with a hippie elven general. Along with them was four undead warriors, a hammerdwarf corpse, pikedwarf corpse, undead pansy elf bowman corpse and useless tree-hugger elf hammerman corpse.
So it is now official, the game hates me.

What intrigues me is the fact that the undead never attacked the living goblins, dispite having the [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE] tag. A possible bug?

The undead were prolly raised by a necromancer belonging to the same faction than those living guys.
After all, Zombies aint supposed to attack the one who raised them. But thats just a wild guess.

to solve your problem, start a fortress, instantly save the game and leave and then you'll have no more sieges. Do it while it's still .06

Is THAT why I haven't been getting sieges? Not that it matters. when I DID have a goblin siege I just ordered everyone inside, and closed the drawbridge. As soon as the gobbos got near the hole leading to my entrance tunnel, they inexplicably got TERRIFIED and ran away off the map edge

A similar thing happened to me on my very first fortress. I embarked in a nice calm area, with apparently ideal conditions.

Everything went well for the first year, plenty of immigrants and a couple of caravans. I was only just starting up a military at that point, due to a berserk child who was demanding stuff that I had no means of acquiring. Somehow managed to avoid a tantrum spiral.

Suddenly, five undead attacked.

Hmm... five undead vs thirty unarmed, unarmoured Dwarves, a crippled military (children are pretty dangerous), no defensive structures and a booze shortage.

Yeah... FUN ensued...

Had a look at the site's surroundings a while later and discovered that the smallest evil biome I had ever seen was directly next to what's left of my fort.
