Raiding sites
« on: January 23, 2018, 04:04:53 pm »

Has anyone been attacked/retaliated against by a necromancer tower that would otherwise be out of range because you sent dwarfs to raid it?  I'm interested in if that is a thing or if I still have to embark in a tower range to see necromancers attack at all.

There's an issue with the raid mechanic recognising non-historical figures right now (that's most zombies) so most raiders just slip in unnoticed. That makes this pretty hard to Science right now.

Also, retaliation wars are declared on a civ level. So Towers might not do it anyway (requires science of course). You'd also have to make sure there's no other dwarf sites in between you and the far off tower or they may end up attacking them instead (unless they're specifically coming to get their books back).

Try stealing their slab, they might come after that.

If they see you, which they probably won't due to the non hist-fig issue (hard Science, gotta take the slab back every time).

The only way they'd find out about it later is if a spy from the tower heard about it at the tavern. Hmmm, which one's the zombie spy...? :)

That's just asking for this to happen.
