Sieges under population 80?
« on: June 07, 2008, 10:25:00 pm »

I am curious as to whether sieges are possible to get if your population is under 80.  The wiki states that in order to get sieges, your population must be 80 but i thought i would ask here to clarify.  Also, will removing the babysnatcher help with this at all?  Thanks

Remove the [BABYSNATCHER] tag and all your wildest dreams will come true.

I've had sieges at well below 80 pop, but that's without [BABYSNATCHER]

I had a siege with a pop of 61, and I haven't changed any of the ini tags related to babysnatching or whatever....

To clarify that for everyone else, that's the babysnatcher tag on goblins ;)

mine with 61 dwarves was a siege.  At least, I got the message, and has SIEGE written in the corners of the screen.

@Deon: do you mean "a [large] wave of darkness has arrived"?

Isn't it "A vile force of darkness has arrived!"? [/nitpick]

Yes, I can confirm that sieges are possible with less than 80 population, even without modifying the tags.

In the aftermath of a dragon attack on my fort, my population has been reduced to about 50, and a siege has just started.

Maybe once population reaches 80, it triggers the possibility of sieges happening, and they keep happening even if deaths cause population to drop below 80.
