Elf and Human Sieging
« on: May 09, 2008, 11:23:00 pm »
Do elves and humans still siege the dwarven fortresses or has that been removed?  If it has been removed does anyone know when it will be put back in?

t''s so sad.  It''s as if De Beers as invaded Dwarf Fortress.  I nearly cried when I saw how valued and rare diamonds were in Dwarf Fortress.

If you get them mad enough (seizing goods, I would assume) I've heard they do.
If not, next release will be the time.

Awesome news because I've got a story in mind but I need to be able to piss off elves enough for them to siege me.

I tried really hard to get the elves to siege... I seized every caravan for years but they kept bringing more and more (seemingly larger amounts too) saying they were enthralled by my humane living style... I have no trees on my map except one little area that I keep routinely cut. I can't turn the cloth into ropes fast enough before the next caravan comes!

Elves won't "siege" they'll ambush.

i cant get either of them to seige/ambush. i decided to focus on the elves, cuz they suck, but i cant seem to get them mad enough. i kill them everytime, and i cut on average 1k trees between visits, and stuff bloody clothes down their throats, but they just laugh it off. i dont think its been implemented yet.

Hehe, I noticed this too on my last fort. I had a flooding chamber where I would kill them as they moved towards the depot. I just wish they carried more useful items than cloth and rope...

I once shot a bear in the eye with a bow on the first shot, cut it up, found another one, and shot it in the eye too. The collective pile of meat weighed more than my house.
