getting no sieges
« on: October 11, 2014, 10:03:23 am »

like the tittle says,

im on my 5th fort now since i started playing again, and have yet to see my first siege. (not even ambushes) and only 1 fort had snatchers turning up.
the first 4 i stopped playing after 5 years of not getting any sieges all forts where in newly generated worlds. For my last fort i checked the civs to see if any major once died out which isn't the case.

am i missing something obvious? i enabled invaders in the setup as well as every one of the easy fortress defence races.

thanks in advance

It's not normal.  Are you on an island with no paths for contact?  Wallowing in poverty with nothing worth invading for?

snatchers are a good sign, that means enemies are there. Check (when you do the next fort) if the civs show up in the embark screen. If they dont, you dont get sieges, ever.

Maybe something borked up with the value limits as well? Which verson are you playing?

Maybe, check the civilizations screen within your fort too, what do you see there?

Thanks for the reply's

playing the last version.
i cant check the first 4 forts because i don't have does worlds anymore, they where all medium region worlds though.
but this last fort seems to have all the normal civs active and alive.
i miss the green little bastards!

You can always build an embassy and declare a war. That would be the easiest way to get a siege, the only requirement is that the civ is alive and that you fullfill the wealth requirement. I think 200k wealth is enough for all races.
