Summary0001183: Sieging enemies continue to send new siegers while the originals are still around
DescriptionAs my military is not currently capable of fending off a siege, I turtled up inside my fort after sealing the entrance.

However, the next season, the original siegers sent in a fresh bunch of units. I now have 187 Invaders sitting outside milling around, not willing to leave.

What makes you think it is a bug?

If leaving siegers alive would prevent further sieges, there would be no point at killing them.

A large number of enemies sitting outside your fort, periodically receiving reinforcements - that seems to be the textbook definition of a siege. I agree it's not a bug, it looks like it's working as intended.

Hehehe, sounds like a feature to me!

But for the sake of argument, let us assume it isn't and that the old 40d ways are the way it is suppose to be. If this is the case then it will need to be looked at.

Feature!

I like it. Gives you an incentive to deal with the attacking army.

@Hyndis: It would help if the military stuff was working though.

Can anyone verify if this behaviour is still present. Might be difficult with invaders not working 100% yet in 0.40.x

I also agree with above reporters that this should be a feature.
