Um...What just happened (siege)
« on: October 23, 2010, 04:55:09 am »
I've been playing this game for about 4 years in game. And I had a siege about a year ago, and they came back. Which was cool since they brought trolls. All my military and traps were set up, it was going to be an awesome fight!...And then they left...WHAT?!

The siege thing disapeared as well...did they just run away?! Everything was open to entice them in...Please explain.

This has happened to me.

No casualties. Not from my military, nor traps, nor wildlife.

No idea.

Siege ran over, ran around a little, and then ran off the map.

They found out who they were up against; word of your awsomeness caused them to flee for their lives.

Maybe they were supposed to attack a different fortress, but found yours by accident.

last siege's death toll didnt clean up properly, you probably killed some of the caged prisoners in between the sieges. The new siege somehow counted that into their own death toll and left.

@ above

Yea that explains it XD They've been fighting in the arena. There ain't that many of them left now though so hopefully the next siege will go well.

He stole an onion. Off with his head.
I wonder, what would they do if someone killed their king.
Inevitable, who cares. Now an onion...

That's... An interesting strategy...

Note to self; in event of massive siege that I clearly cannot survive, begin executing prisoners from previous sieges. Or maybe if I just don't feel like putting up with them today...

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

And then load the catapults with their severed heads.  RELEASE THE PRISONERS!

Has that feature been requested yet?  Because that would be awesome.

That's what cages and minecart shotguns are for!  We don't need to control them.  We just need to aim them.

Against? Just curious on what everyone else make their prisoners fight against.

Well... for me I'd use my 40 kittens and 20 war dogs on the prisoners. Makes for good entertainment. If that fails , pour magma.
