Is it possible for a siege to just ... leave you alone?

So far I have a moat around my new fortress, (I still have to find stone passed this aquifier to get mechanisms for the drawbridge), and I was wondering if it was possible to just .... lock yourself away from all of them and wait the seige out until they get bored. This would save me some time ... BIG time...

You can just wall off the entrance to your fort. Nothing can break down walls.

[Grumbledwarfskin]

Note, however, that there are consequences for walling your fort off: no caravans or migrants during a siege.

So if you're dependent on wood shipments or need something that you ordered from the homeland, it may be preferable to fight off the siege rather than wait it out. If your military is up to the task.

[Lockem Shoto]

If I DO wall myself off, will the siege eventually go away? Or am I forced to stay inside until I have a suitable force?

My dwarf legion is communist, but in order to live it needs the wood industry that happens to surround its entrance. I don't rely on any trading.

DF sieges are fairly realistic, in that they think they're going to wait there until you're worn down or you/they are dead.

No, they'll leave eventually.

They'll typically stay about a year season. They will leave if another siege from their civilisation arrives.

damn why can't I train him :sadface:

Pet exotic tag in the raws, needs dungeon master. No dungeon master, no pet rocs, or dragons. Currently, there is no dungeon master ever.

In the interest of my Dwarven paranoia (or crazy preparedness?):
Is there anything that can break through a raised drawbridge that has an empty space in front of it (i.e. the squares adjectant to the raised bridge are channeled down and ramps removed)?

[Garath]

I've never had a raised drawbridge destroyed, by anything, except magma

So removing the exotic flag only let me tame him? There's no way to train him/have him as a pet until that feature is back?

No way to tame exotic pets if manually captured. Only by trading-breeding or editing the raws and removing the [PET_EXOTIC] tag.

Yes I know, I removed the tag and he's now tame, chilling out in my dining room But I can't train him into a war animal or hunter, which the wiki says you can.

[Garath]

Check the raw if he has the flag trainable. Next, make sure the animal is pastured within the reach of a kennel (kennel in pasture), or simply not pastured.

There's a tag to add: [TRAINABLE]

[Yaotzin]

Ya he was trainable. Nice it worked! I pastured him onto the kennel. Weird, it didn't work when he was unpastured and chilling in my dining room.

Anyways! How strong is he? Can he kill 10 goblins camping outside my fortress?
