Modded Race Not Ambushing or Sieging (Help?)
« on: October 07, 2012, 05:24:00 pm »
Is there known bug where a combination of positions/tags prevents a modded race from doing anything in fortress mode besides sending occasional thieves/snatchers? I have a particular race that, in several different fortresses, has done just this - no ambushes, no sieges, just snatcher after snatcher. It's also possible I'm doing it wrong, in which case it probably has something to do with the positions, which are rather... elaborate.

The relevant (as far as I know) creatures tags are:
Code: [Select]
[INTELLIGENT][LIKES_FIGHTING]
[CANOPENDOORS][NOFEAR]
[BONECARN][NO_DRINK]
[NOCTURNAL]
[EXTRAVISION]
[EQUIPS]
[DIURNAL]
And in the entity raws:

Code: [Select]
[PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POP_SIEGE:3]
[PROGRESS_TRIGGER_PROD_SIEGE:0]
[PROGRESS_TRIGGER_TRADE_SIEGE:0]
---
[BABYSNATCHER]
edit:
[ACTIVE_SEASON:SUMMER]
Or might it be this?
Code: [Select]
[POSITION:WARMASTER]
[NAME:Warmaster:Warmasters]
[NUMBER:3]
[RESPONSIBILITY:MILITARY_GOALS]
[RESPONSIBILITY:MILITARY_STRATEGY]
[COMMANDER:SCYTHE:ALL]
[SQUAD:12:Exowarrior:Exowarriors]
[MENIAL_WORK_EXEMPTION]
[APPOINTED_BY:MONARCH]
[APPOINTED_BY:MINIMONARCH]
[PRECEDENCE:5]
[FLASHES]
[BRAG_ON_KILL]
[CHAT_WORTHY]
[DO_NOT_CULL]
[KILL_QUEST]

I've checked legends, and all the positions are being appointed, but nothing from them ever ambushes my fortress. I'm ten years in, and this is the third fortress where they've failed to send anything besides snatchers.

If needed, I'll post the full set of raws. I just want to get this fixed at this point.

You didn't add the season that they attack your fortress. Humans have summer, dwarves autumn, and elves spring.
add this
[ACTIVE_SEASON:SPRING]

Yes I did, especially the second and third times. They're the closest race to my fortress.

They might not be evil enough to attack dwarves.

I don't think that would be an issue... I might as well post the full entity file at this point, so...

It's still a work-in-progress, but it ought to be working.

Try pming Putnam, he's far more knowledgeable in such matters.

The only reason I haven't posted in this topic yet is because I'm just as confounded as the TC is.

I have a feeling it has something to do with the elaborate leadership positions, but I'm not experienced enough in it to know exactly what.

No, I doubt that.

Yeah, this seems pretty likely. I think skulking civs won't invade unless they get enough stolen.

oh shoot, my bad, i didn't see that you posted the whole entity; and it looks like there is no SKULKING.  Well then, I'm stumped too.  :/

Yep, no [SKULKING]... :( That's one of the first things I checked.
