Geopolitics

[Skyguard]

So, I keep seeing on the world map people going places all the time, doing ♥♥♥♥, fighting and stuff. My fort has been up for 6 years and it hasn't been attacked once. The largest threat I had is 5 snatchers that all walked into my gatehouse with 2 squads there training. I am also at peace with goblins. I am wondering if the game is broken because from what I remember from playing the original game you can't make peace with goblins.

The civs probably just dont prioritize you, probably because they have bigger wars going on. All war parties actually travel on the map and choose their objectives, they dont just get spawned in by an event. If you want more action, I suggest taking your best squad and raiding a smaller site (10-20 population) to provoke them.

There aren't any. I live next to goblins and elves. They totally can get to me because they trade with me, but I am somehow at peace with goblins so goblins don't attack.

Just export more :D

You need 80 pop or high wealth to get raided.
Note that undead can pop in anytime.

There arent any smaller sites? As i said, provoke them by sending out a raiding party on the world map.

I just got a siege of WAY too many goblins, over 100, and I've exported over 100k wealth so. Just keep exporting. Start a war if you want conflict.

This is the answer and I'm really not sure why it's a hard concept to grasp.

Not with humans and elves. With goblins specifically. I thought you are always at war with them.

Due to the coded ethics, goblins (much like kobolds if they managed to establish a civ) struggle to remain at peace with the 'usual' civilizations (dorf, elf, humi) but it can happen.
From my understanding it doesn't normally happen but it is possible.

Ambushes will occur with kobolds and some others, Sieges are the more "political" sorts of raids. Those won't occur if you're not at war with someone and don't do anything to tick them off...

You should Gift the elves a whole bunch of wood... Like, a lot of it. I hear they like trees an' stuffs.

"But, he really shouldn't try to give wood to the Elves," said the Narrator that sounds like Morgan Freeman.

I sell them boxes with gems sometimes. They don't seem to mind much. Also, they sell me wood, so they are hipocrits.

Frank my man, Seen you on and glad to know your fort is going good.

What do you export? My fort is exporting decent amounts of crafts but they aren't worth much unless they are made of metal.

Goblins should always show up as peaceful until the first time they siege you, even if they are at war with your civ, you're just to insignificant for them to care about you I guess. Feel free to raid them instead if you really want to force the issue.

Would've never thought that a 160 pop city is insignificant.
