Siegers spawning inside my fortress?
« on: November 20, 2009, 05:22:34 pm »
Long story short: I've had four sieges so far. Each one has appeared in the standard way - vile force message, enemies show up on outer edge.

I very recently put up walls between my sentry towers, lava storage column and windmill power plant, enclosing the middle of the map within my fortress, about half of the map total.

But with the latest siege, I had a unit of goblins appear INSIDE a building.  :o
The wall of the building is 15-30 squares away from the edge of the map, and is completely enclosed on ground level - just stairs going up and down out of it.

Miraculously, I was able to get my All-Adamantine-A-team to intercept in time and provide  instruction as to the proper use of the pointed end of a spear.

But now I'm paranoid and unsure what to do in the future. The room they appeared in is now full to the brim with traps and has a unit posted close by for possible intercept, but who can say that the gobbos won't teleport into the throne room next time?

Has anyone experienced this, heard about it, etc.? And if so, what might I be doing to bring this about? Known bug, perhaps?

If a map isn't a perfect square, if they spawn on one of the long sides they can spawn in the interior of the map. This is a known bug, don't worry about it.

Yeah, tell the dwarfs to just calm down.

You all do know that we everytime we gen a world in DF, a new universe is created somewhere, and everytime we delete a save we kill a whole world?
Aye, we are Armok, god of blood, evil, villager gutting, fortress building, legend making and elf thongs.

Indeed. They're just goblins. Now if you had orcs or megabeasts spawning in there, it'd be a problem.
