After being sufficiently "successful" at defending against the siege (killing sufficient attackers, waiting them out, or some combination thereof), the attackers will retreat.Choosing this option will lead to the siege succeeding and the dwarves being killed. In the pause menu, your retiring option will change from "retire your fortress" to "succumb to the invasion".

This can be quite fun, if your fort defense relies on the same kind of walls and pits as previous versions. For more info on mounted units, and the fun they can unleash upon an ill-prepared defender, see: Mount. These mounts can change the combat dynamics, since some can fly, are building destroyers, or have substantially different combat traits than their riders. The squad leader can be mounted, even if their squad is not.

Occasionally, a squad will be mounted - this means each of its members will be riding a suitable creature, though the creatures typically vary between members.

Using the goblins as an example, each squad consists of several goblins of one military class (swordsman, lasher, etc.), and often one 'squad leader' (typically an Elite or better, which need not be the same class as the squad being led).

Siege forces usually consist of several 'squads'.

If you want to make sure that a certain civilization will be capable of laying siege to you, then look at the "neighbors" view of the embark site finder when selecting your fortress site. You will never get sieges if you embark on an island or in a valley which is completely surrounded by mountains. Armies need to physically move to the location of your fortress they are normally allowed a 30-tile radius of interaction (towers have 10 tiles), beyond which sieges are impossible. Consider this when deciding how you set up your trade depot and how heavily reliant your economy is on imported goods.Ī civilization will be unable to lay siege if it can't reach your fortress site. Even if they do arrive before the siege, the attackers may kill them or chase them off if they can reach them. They will arrive, though, if a siege is broken quickly enough, but it is possible to miss out entirely on a civilization's caravan for the year this way. It is possible to be sieged by all civilized races, with the exception of kobolds (who never go beyond ambushes) and subterranean animal people (who just don't attack at all).Ĭaravans will not arrive at a besieged fortress. A siege's objective is to exterminate every dwarf in your fortress, or die trying. They are announced with a full-screen message that differs depending on the attacking race, and the main screen showing the SIEGE tag at the top for the duration of the siege. Sieges are drawn from moving units advancing towards the fortress, whether from an army, a bandit group, or a necromancer's tower. Sieges are large-scale assaults on your fortress by other civilizations, and a step beyond ambushes.
