Title: seige question
Post by: toast on May 24, 2008, 08:38:00 pm
i usually get 4-5 squads of goblins per seige. i currently have 27 legendary soldiers, so i can easily destroy the entire seige with them, and i also have traps. i was wondering...is this a normal number of goblins to get? does it depend on wealth?

also, wouldnt it be better if they all arrived at the fort at the same time? as it is, 1-3 squads at a time reach the fort, which makes it pretty easy.

When you have goblins come and how many come depends on the wealth of your fortress and possibly the distance from goblins.

Actually, after getting over 500k wealth in my first year(Edited the raws and used cheat-o-matic for starting supplies)I had like 40 goblins coming. Half of which had bows...

40 goblins? or 40 squads...? 40 squads would be sick..probably crash my comp though.

when i say squad i mean a group of like...10-20 goblins of the same weapon type. i usually get 4-5 squads per seige. me wants more.

only 40 goblins, so 2-3 squads I guess
