Hi, I just got my first siege (By Humans, surprisingly), but their not actually attacking. Instead, they're hanging out in the northeastern corner of my map making fires.

[Untelligent]

Siegers make fires now? =O

Content I've not yet heard of aside, if they don't have a path to one of your dwarves, they won't hunt him down and kill him. Try opening your gates or gate-analogue.

[Axe27]

I just read the wiki, and apparently Humans sit around making campfires until they make a final headlong charge in my hallway of doom.

Hm. That explains it...

The [SIEGER] tag means that instead of all rushing at you as soon as they spawn on the edge of the map, like goblins, they'll settle in for an actual siege, including setting up a campfire. Once they're all gathered up and prepared, they'll all attack at the same time from the same direction.

That's...somewhat terrifying.

I'm assuming he's fixed the bug where they'd burn themselves alive with their own campfires, correct?

Pity if he did.  I never got to experience that one firsthand.  Sounds mightily awesome.

[Jay Kayell]

But they also caused the game to crash sometimes, not very awesome.

No.
fixed crash from human siege campfires

This bug was fixed.

[Axe27]

That's funny, my game keeps crashing when the humans charge at me...

Anyway around this?

Solution: Place booze stockpiles around the edge of the map, then forbid.

Humans build fires, then explode.

AFAIK booze doesn't actually explode.

Bring the fight to them -- it'll be fun.

[Axe27]

When there's 20 of them armed in the iron equipment, and then there my dwarves armed in shells, with just their barehands...

No. I need them to go down my trap hallway, in order for my military dwarves to have a chance.

AND

How do you get around the application crapping out in the middle of sieges? I can't do anything because I keep crashing.

[userpay]

Well you could just send them out anyway, did you try the 40d version yet?

I thought they were making marshmallows and telling stories.
