another goblin siege, another year taken off my life
« on: September 14, 2006, 06:57:00 pm »
The procession of morons continues! As usual, everyone wants to get out there to get mauled, no matter what I do, especially if they're legendary miners, masons or engravers, and a huge bloodbath ensues. What's even wrose is that I have two loaded ballistas pointing right at the damned horde of goblins, trolls and beak dogs, through some nice fortifications, allowed to fire freely, and no one will fire them!!!! GGRRRRRR!!! There's a dwarf, with no tasks asigned other than siege engineering and siege operating, and he's right there, and what does he do?! He walks up to the Ballista, changes his mind, walks away, changes his mind, walks back, almost gets there, then changes his mind and walks away again, ad infinitum. WTF?!!

I'm gonna go breathe into a paper bag for a while...

That's why you draft everyone into the military during sieges.

That's why you lock everyone inside during sieges and flood the world with lava and/or steam. At least your goblins aren't invading during trade season.
