i want to know how to invoke a KOBOLD SIEGE

i know if they steel alot of crap they will attack but i want some smart tips on how to make it happen

[Sphalerite]

To invoke a kobold siege, you need to edit the raw files to make the kobolds capable of sending sieges.  They won't ever siege in the vanilla game.

i thought they could. i thought i saw it on the wiki
If the kobolds are successful in multiple thieving attempts, they will grow bolder and send squads of armed kobolds to attack your apparently defenseless fort. These squads also arrive in sneak mode and will ambush any dwarves and traders on the map. In the past, kobold weapons were made of inferior metals (generally copper); however, kobolds in version 0.31 are observed to have access to all metals, including steel (seemingly due to a fallback which triggers due to them not being given access to any metals at all

that is what the wiki said. i want to know how to invoke an attack effectivly and in no time at all

Kobolds don't send sieges.  Kobolds send ambush groups, similar to the ambush groups goblins send early on.  This happens if the kobolds successful steal items from your fortress.  It doesn't take much.  To trigger it, kill some goblins outside your fortress and then don't clean up their gear.

also make sure that kobolds live in your world to begin with.

 a bug causes them to starve to death in worldgen
