Entity should be evil
« on: January 08, 2011, 12:03:44 pm »
Okay so I've created a new entity, they are supposed to seige as humans would. However when embarking there is no red dashed line by there name. How do I make it so that this civilization will attack my forts?

The only way to force them to attack your fortress in any game is to make them babysnatchers.

Otherwise you can change their ethics and religion to be the opposite of dwarves, which makes it more likely they'll be at war with at least one dwarven civilization.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I'd prefer that they aren't but I will keep this in mind if nothing else works.

They're ethics are largely opposite. Over the past ten or so worlds gened, only one (a pocket map) had dwarves at war with them. So I don't believe this is not much of an option.

This is strange, they don't have the [CAN_SPEAK] tag, but in the arena, they speak anyway.  ???

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

Well that fixed it. That tag has to be one of the most redundant things in dwarf fortress.

I'm not sure, but I think making them non-skulking item thieves will cause them to attack.

Yeah, SKULKING causes them not to siege, ITEM_THIEF makes them hostile.
