I created this mod for two purposes:
a) To increase the rate of sieges by vanilla races (ie goblins)
b) To ensure that vanilla sieges remain a threat even after historical figures have all been killed.

If you are looking for solutions to these problems, this is the mod for you! Just drag and drop the files into the raw/objects folder and generate a new world. Make sure you're playing on settings that generate at least 17 civilizations.

However, I need your help to see if the tags I added are working correctly, so any and all feedback regarding difficulty, enemy arrival, and stability of threat level are welcomed and greatly desired!

Specifically, if you get attacked, please post the year and season of the first attack, and if you get attacked again, of the second attack.

Suggestion: Siege-triggers go from 1-5, so maybe make 5 tiers of goblin invaders; ranking their access to material and natural combat skills along with their trigger number. Those with 1 are very easy, 2 are easy, 3 are normal, 4 are hard, 5 are very hard. That way you get more dificult sieges later on.

I am not confident in the triggers to force sufficiently early invasions to merit 5 tiers. I could still implement tiers though, assuming there is sufficient interest in developing the mod.
