Steam: Did invasions become more common?
« on: December 21, 2022, 11:44:21 am »

Just on the second fort. Both of them get annual "mini-invasions" of 5 units from a necromancer starting after I get 1 migration wave.

 1st fort it was zombies, 2nd it's experiments.

I wonder if this is new? They're coming so fast I haven't smithed any armor or weapons let alone set up military.

So I hole up and end in a sorta cosy situation with 15 dwarves holed up for years & unable to get new migrants because I'm permanently in "invasion"-status.

It's new to me. I'm used to getting invasions when I'm at like 50 dwarves and have a beginning military squad. Steam-version I get invaded when I have like 10 dwarves and am setting up the essential infrastructure.

Also I'm more used to like 50 goblins or nothing. I'm curious if mini-invasions of 5 units is new or if I just for some reason never got them?

Maybe you settled too close to a necromancer tower. They have always been able to invade you ignoring any population/wealth triggers, if you were in proximity (10 map tiles.)

Ah, maybe that's the explanation.

can confirm this used to happen in older versions. proximity to tower and lack of intervening terrain both play a role
