A '''siege''' is a special, [[fun]] time in [[Fortress mode]] when an army attempts to attack and kill all of your [[dwarf|dwarves]]. It is at this time you should activate your [[military]], keep civilians indoors, raise the [[drawbridge|drawbridges]] and pray you have your defenses ready. | A '''siege''' is a special, [[fun]] time in [[Fortress mode]] when an army attempts to attack and kill all of your [[dwarf|dwarves]].

A siege is not to be confused with other types of hostile encounters - if you are besieged you will ''know''. If you are unsure, you are ''not'' under siege. When you receive a siege, you receive a full-screen message "'''A vile force of darkness has arrived!'''" and the top of the screen reads "SIEGE" in yellow and red. Siegers are immediately visible at the map edge, whereas [[ambush]]ers or [[thief|thieves]] are not. | A siege is not to be confused with other types of hostile encounters - if you are besieged you will ''know''.
