its all over the forum that if you remove this tag goblins will actually seige you!? is this the truth?

if so. how does these seiges work? are the attackers invisible?

...no. They'll simply siege you instead of trying to snatch babies, so you'll get them as early as your first year. They're still normal sieges.

Where'd you get the idea that they'd be invisible?

invisible, like the ambushers... will the ambushers come then, if i remove the tag?

and if they do, can i turn them off?

All babysnatchers and ambushers will be replaced by sieges. This has the side-effect of making the wilderness relatively safe whenever sieges aren't around, as you know your dwarves won't get ambushed.

BTW, if you have the civ set to [AMBUSHER] instead of [SIEGER] they'll start off invisible when they DO siege. Makes for a much more difficult siege, since while you know that a siege has started, you don't know where all of the units are coming from or where they are after the siege starts.
