No invaders...?
« on: October 08, 2010, 11:39:11 pm »

So I'm playing 31.14 with the lazy newb pack, and I'm just getting into my fifth year. I've got almost three different ways of disposing of invaders [1: Pit-drop via retractable bridge, then another pit-drop via water onto spikes/ 2: Feed to ettin/ 3, same room as Ettin: Spike traps everywhere to chew up successful gladiators] and I'm waiting on my first batch of invaders to show up. I've created precisely 2,290,000 wealth, imported 71,777 and exported 61,904 wealth. I've already gotten about seven or eight forgotten beasts, two of which I've already disposed of via draining water onto them (one was made of steam so it was susceptible to water, the other snow but that one was killed by the amphibian men) the one Ettin that I captured, as well as dealt with two gremlins.

I have heard rumors that there are absolutely no sieges in 31.14. I knew that there were issues with sieges in this version, but none at all?

My question is this: will I ever see a siege, or even a single goblin for that matter, if I continue playing this fortress with version 31.14? Typically I'd just update the damn thing and be done with it, but the Lazy Newb Pack makes everything extremely convenient and they finally put the .14 version out so I'd like to play it for awhile. I'm also currently running NoExotics and I believe that only kicks in when you generate a new world... so I might have to sacrifice my current game if I both want to run NoExotics and the new version of DF.

You will not get any invasions. The goblins are waiting for you to attack their cave, which can't happen. Supposedly copying it into .16 will fix it, according to Toady, but I haven't confirmed that myself.

Yeah it works. Just copy the save over to .16 and you'll start getting sieges

Well shit, okay. I lose Newb Pack, and.... wait, if I saved my game in a version of DF that was running NoExotics, and then switch it over to a version where there isn't NoExotics, does that mean I'll have to wait for the dungeon master?

I think if you ran No Exotics on .16 as well then you should be alright. Not too sure on that though

Raw changes like that are kept with the save.
