Bugged necromancer ambushes?
« on: September 28, 2024, 01:53:29 pm »
I think necromancer ambushes may be bugged. Whenever they occur the generic seige message is triggered, and the siege indicator appears at the top of the screen. The necromancers in question momentarily appear on the edge of the map before becoming hidden, and they trigger ambush messages once revealed. Anyone else experienced this? Is this really a bug or is it an intended feature?

If you're so sure that you're gonna end up killing all of dwarven civilization, why not make a statue depicting 2147483647 dead dwarves, all of which are burning? Name it something good, like Deaddead the Dead Dead Dead-Dead of Dying. Just put it in the main hall or something, as a grim reminder that they're all gonna die.

I mean...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
the undead they bring should be visible and listed in the units menu.

if there aren't any undead with them, it's possible they are just looking for dead bodies or exploring.

otherwise they should be headed to a siege somewhere...

I think what you are describing is unintended effects caused by the dual nature of sieger and ambusher that necromancers posess. eerr seems to suggest this as well. So what you are experiencing is a true siege, with no actual infantry, and the commander merely sneaking around like a skyrim stealth archer or something

something to fix perhaps

I've since had actually functional necromancer ambushes that don't announce their presence on arrival. Again, before, their arrival was announced and briefly caused the "siege" box to appear, before being immediately hidden and treated like regular ambushers. I guess it just bugs out sometimes.
