Talk:Zombie siege

Keep the info
Can people please keep the information on the page? I made this page to inform, not to be cut up by random editors. If you' re going to edit the page, stop taking away lines. Walrusninja 22:16, 12 February 2012 (UTC)


 * The wiki is for documenting the game, not suggesting new ideas - there's an entire section of the forum for that. See Rules 7A and 19. If Mojang has done anything to suggest that giants will be used, please provide a link to it. Sieges aren't officially confirmed aside from a couple of tweets by Jon, so anything about a release date or how they'll behave is pure guesswork. The 'giant spider' picture was a joke; the tweet was a reply to "@Jeb_ Do something that will amaze me, I'm bored.". -- Orthotope 22:57, 12 February 2012 (UTC)


 * In addition, this is not the place to post information and expect it to remain untouched. Every time you edit a page, underneath the "Save page"/"Show preview"/"Show changes" buttons, the very first bullet reads "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it." If you want a place to post stuff with the expectation that no one else will touch it, start a blog or website of your own. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 00:22, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Pack Size?
Anyone know the size of the siege? I once found two packs of 6 zombies each, attempting (I was on easy) to break down two doors. Was this a siege? Quietsamurai1998 21:53, 16 February 2012 (UTC)


 * The actual sieges itself haven't been implemented yet, due to the villagers' lack of defense. But yes, that was most likely an organized zombie spawn attack. They will spawn in tight packs in different parts of the village and usually stay together, kind of like a tower defense game. So look forward to sieges soon.

rename
It should be renamed to zombie siege remember that old gameplay named zombie siege? why not rename it to zombie SIEGE?!?!?!?! –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Mewtwa2 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 16:02, 17 February 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * Zombie siege redirects here. There is no official name for this yet, just the broad name of Siege. 99.248.60.72 21:28, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing this issue out. I've added the Conjecture notice to the top so people will be informed about the name. - Asterick6 06:12, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Story

Screenshots
What's with people using "custom texture packs" on the wiki?? Use the default texture pack. =_= --Shikamaru123 09:22, 13 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I didn't post the photos. Ask the guy who did. 99.248.60.72 17:08, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Frequency of Sieges?
I'm not great at coding and I was just wondering, how often/what is the probability of a siege in a given night? I know enough about coding that no reasonable person would put just a "mathrandom" in the middle of the code, so there must be a range of numbers or a probability of the sieges for each night. Also I would be interested in knowing when the decision of whether or not it would be a siege night. Ex. determined at sunset: (2% probability for the night) No Siege tonight --Droid1134 02:33, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * That's hard to determine with in-game tests. You'll have to look into the game code to be sure, and considering you're knowledgeable in coding, it shouldn't be too hard (although the obfuscation can be a pain to decode). - Asterick6 06:12, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Light surrounding area?
If I were to light up the entire area around a village, would zombies still spawn? Do sieges cause zombies to spawn regardless of light level?--108.76.103.35 02:16, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Done some very short tests and torches does seem to prevent zombie sieges. I tried changing the difficulty but torches still seems to work.--108.76.103.35 14:08, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Scratch that, I've had different results on a multiplayer server. This village had a higher population than my first test. 10+ zombies spawned right in the middle of the village.--108.76.103.35 20:16, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry for my bad english, but tell me please, how far may be a wall from the houses to prevent zombie's penetration inside such garrison if entire village is well lighted with a torches?

About sieges
Zombies still seem to siege during day if you were to spawn any in Creative mode, they will chase Villagers, and once these Villagers reteat in their house, try to bust the door down. They sometimes kill 1-2 villagers before burning down --88.169.236.34 16:13, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
