Make a siege
« on: April 28, 2009, 03:59:09 pm »
One of the things that i both love and hate about DF is the sieging. Because i think that traps are cheap, i get killed one year into in, and i can't chose a peaceful location because i don't get to see flying Orcs. It would be cool if you could turn off attacks, and whenever you want a challenge you could generate a army to test your defenses.

We may not be as brave as Gryffindor, as willing to get our hands dirty as Hufflepuff, or as devious as Slytherin, but there is nothing, nothing more dangerous than a little too much knowledge and a conscience that is open to debate

This doesn't fit with DF, because enemies come from somewhere and have had a life before the siege. Perhaps in some debug-mode, but I really can't see it in normal DF

isn't all you need for sieges is a civilization that can attack you?

If you want to disable sieges, change [INVADERS:YES] to [INVADERS:NO] in /data/init/init.txt.  But sieges generated on command aren't likely to make it in.  As Apegrape said, it would be reserved for a debug mode if there's ever a public release of something like that.
