Any way to trigger a siege
« on: July 28, 2009, 05:21:37 pm »

I've been building my first fortress and it's starting to get boring...
there are no hostile animals around and goblin sieges are few and far between. And small, just a few gobs.

Is there any way to trigger big sieges to occur?  Or to add hostile animals to fight?

You'll need some minimum population and wealth level.  I don't know what exactly.  Keep building and it'll happen.
Kill off caravans when they arrive if you want to improve your chances of a siege.  Killing the liaison/diplomat helps too.

Wealth, wealth, wealth.

Wealth attracts migrants, and a bigger population attracts goblins.
Wealth also attracts goblins directly.

Search for valuable minerals! Make things from them! Place artifact furniture so it counts twice! Churn out masterwork stone crafts! Smooth and engrave hallways! Roads made of precious metals!
