Well first siege came in, crushed it through underhanded use supports and levers.

Second siege comes in, i try and drown it because i only have 14 dwarves vs their 35 orcs, the leader swims out of the pool, through the river, and up my well and proceeds to slaughter my fortress.

All in all, just what i needed from a mod, good job 

P.S. The orcs in this world managed to tear the elves to shreds, leaving many ruins in place, and only one group of humans survived in the world. The orcs seem to have regained their honor since the last group of pansies.

Orcs should only war against elves and humans.

Can I butcher their corpses? I would like to make some Orc leather quivers.

[The13thRonin]

Has anyone managed to fix the friendly orc when reclaiming problem?

Unfortunately, no, since that's an issue with DF itself. There are rumors that they will go properly hostile during the first invasion, but I've never tested it.

You'd have to add allowing Dwarves to eat sapiants to the raws (and then regen), but it should work then.

In adventure mode, you may also be able to get orc leather quivers from the Elves if you give the elves leatherworking.

I was messing around the other day in DF, and I embarked in an orc fortress with the idea of collapsing all of their towers. Of course, they were all Friendly. When the first orc invasion came, however, all of them immediately turned hostile -I think that this would work the same way in reclaim mode too, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm starting to get scared of these guys just looking at legends. In one war, they outnumbered ELVES. That is a problem, considering they also drove the last Dwarf civ to live in a glacier.

This is gonna be so much FUN!

Domas Shemzimesh Shasarzolak Onul: Legendary Wrestler, Legendary Swordsdwarf, Legendary Shield User, Professional Armor User. Singlehandedly killed 10+ Orcs during a siege. Mother of 9.

[Akkristor]

It doesn't matter anyhow. The first batch of idiots are either just living meatsack target practice for your lone Marksdwarf, or they end up leaving the map because you don't show your face.

Next siege come, you might actually come out and FIGHT. 

I normally have the walls next to my front door have fortifications dug into them, so i can not show my face and still kill 'em.

When they start to leave, i simply unlock the door and they run back.

So I followed the instructions, and put the three files in the raws/objects folder. I then genned a world from scratch, and started my fortress. This is on 40d11, in case this matters.

I'm now in my 4th year, and not the slightest hint of an Orc. I have a population of about 80, I have my dungeon master but not a Baron yet...Any ideas as to why my fortress isn't dead yet? I had such a lovely water trap built too, my first one ever to actually work and not flood my entire fortress, that I was saving for the Orcs in the first winter...

Engraved on the wall is an exceptionally designed image of the nameless orc by Stakud Bidokrakust. The nameless orc is burning. The artwork relates to the heat-induced death of the nameless orc in Glorybattles in the midwinter of 205 during Ushykuquyjyvabato, 'The Dented Siege'.

Ah, magma flood traps.
(Engraving edited to place 'nameless orc' in where the missing name was. I don't care enough to do the tweaking needed for named orcs.)

Edit: Oh yeah, two more things I haven't seen before that I got with this fort:
1) Goblin siege short enough that I got an orc siege in the same season. It was still early [season] (forget which season) when the goblins were dead
2) Human siege after I'd traded with them several times. I think their caravan being attacked by orcs and having their diplomat killed by orcs was the cause for this.

[avari]

I'm also having problems with the Orcs, namely that they don't show up

I just finished my third summer. Current population is (capped at) 50, wealth 300k, exported wealth 30k. The Orcs did show up in the embark screen with the "-----" marking. There can't be a goblin ambush in the way either, since the Orcs wiped out the goblin civilization during worldgen

I wonder if there's any way to figure out why they won't dignify my fort with a visit.

[Byakugan01]

They do have acess, right? Trust me, they *will* pay you a visit sooner or later. Try trading alot all at once, that may help. Or getting a ridiculously valuable artifact.

[Flying Carcass]

I decided to try this mod in my latest fort and I must say, those orcs sure are tough! Twice orc sieges have torn through my base and annihilated my decently-trained military; the second time they occupied a large portion of my base for a long time, with my survivors scurrying about in unoccupied districts trying to acquire food, water, and saving other survivors. Fun.

[Shima]

Orcs are good for me.  They don't seem to like attacking as much as they should (IE, at all), but love to trade.  Lots of meat and low-priced leather every couple of years, good stuff.
