No seiges?
« on: November 26, 2011, 11:43:57 am »

Do you have a low population in your fortress? Sometimes having an extremely low population can reduce/remove the chances of sieges/ambushes occurring. Also have you received caravans/migrants after the first two waves? Lastly do you remember what the contact screen said at embark? It is completely possible that you either embarked in a location that is unreachable (like on an island) stopping sieges, or that you embarked in a world where all of the goblins are dead.

Doesn't make sense to me... Shot in the dark - what's the value of your fortress?

Sorry, somehow I missed that.  :-\

500k could be the reason you don't have any sieges. I usually don't see sieges start happening until the value is at least twice that, sometimes more.

Yeah, I'm willing to bet it's the value of your fortress. I've never had a fortress with 150+ population worth less than three million anyway. I could easily be wrong, but that's what I think it might be.

Maybe the goblins are feeling particularly lazy? Have you killed every snatcher that entered your map?

I'd say wait a few more years.

In my current game the sieges started after about six years. At year nine I have a siege of 70 invaders every season... I'm playing a similar game, with haunted plus joyous wilds embark.
