About siege strength

[Oleker]

I was playing a map, when the siege began. It was around day 10 in the game. Appeared some slimes and had no problem. One more time later on the same map, the more the 15th of the 2nd month, a new siege with some normal spiders.

I started another map. And I got an army of giant spiders in just 8 days. they simply swept all the villagers.

Is there a standard for siege or level of which is random?

Sieges cannot happen if you are under 11 townies if I remember correctly, everything else about this is random based on what you have. The more villagers/happiness, and several other factors determine siege strength.

Always armor them :O ALWAAYS

Well... I am new to the game and still do not know the level of happiness of the villagers. Is there a menu for this?

Welcome Oleker. No not yet. if you build them a house with a bed, a planted pot and a chest as decoration u will gain more immigrants. just make sure that u have some houses open for them.

if u have more questions feel free to make a new thread so we can see what kind of help you need.

Siege strength is based on how many townies/heroes you have along with a random roll.
Sieges will only come if you have more than 11 people.
I'd suggest as getting them all into iron armour (surface iron is your friend) before getting more than 11 townies.

Happiness can not be tracked, but generally it's based upon a few simple formulas:
Decoration, food and death. Where death is the big minus. Starving is also a boo.
