Getting my enemies to attack me
« on: September 06, 2010, 01:39:30 pm »

I've got a little problem with my fortresses. Every time I make some uber good goblin blending slaughtermachine moat defense, whenever I get ambushed (No sieges happened to me yet) the goblins or whatever attacking me just camp outside my entrance not entering the fortress. Do I have to make my above-ground section walls out of glass or something that the enemies know where to look for my dwarves?

I think the issue is that the gobbos have seen your traps and now know the difference of a walkway and blender.

Could try poking them with marksdwarves mabye

But they come right in if there are no traps?

I'm fairly sure that gobbos don't learn about traps... at least not in my forts!

Is there any way for your goblins to path to your dwarves? If not, they aren't gonna bother attacking.
