Title: Provoked war with out-of-range civ. Will they siege me?
Post by: JBlak on September 22, 2021, 01:08:21 am

I provoked a war with a civilization which would be too far to be listed in the embark neighbours screen. On the fortress mode civilizations screen, they are shown to be at war with me. Will they send sieges after me despite the distance?

They should be able to. Unless there's a difference in logic compared to your "natural" neighbors, they may not have you as their primary target, and so may elect to attack other, presumably closer, enemies first.

However, I've never provoked any such wars, so I don't have first hand experience.

You have triggered a war between their civ and your civ, basically. If you're the nearest target, they'll probably siege you - however as Patrik said, if your civ has holdings closer to them, they'll probably aim at those first.

As long as you can reach them, they can reach you.
