First of all, the wording of this card suggests that it is an ongoing ability, so I'm going to treat it as such until someone corrects me.
Consider this scenario:
1) I play Siegeworks in battle
2) The numbers on my evil characters breach 20/*, so I discard an OT fort
3) Due to discard/return to hand/etc. an evil character leaves battle and my numbers drop below 20/*
4) I band in another evil character and my numbers breach 20/* again.
Do I get to discard another OT fort? I seem to have some vague memory that cards' abilities only activate once, but I'm not sure.
Siegeworks -

I would say once the ability has acvtivated, it is so longer "seeking". I also agree it is an ongoing ability as it says When not If.

It is a triggered instant ability. You are correct that instant abilities only activate once per turn.
