K, disclaimer, this is about .31, cuz I can't get past world gen in .34 (every time it gens fine, but pressing go to choose an embark site crashes it).

So I've had this fort 6 years now, just got my first siege. It was only 15 goblins, which was slightly disappointing, as I've averaged 36 in each years ambushes. So, 2 questions:

How quickly does siege difficulty ramp up, and

The siege followed very closely to my drowning of the 143 goblins I had been playing with in a pit... Did killing them trigger it?

1. Should do, eventually you'll be getting multiple goblin squads, hopefully mounted ones and maybe some troll squads too.
2. Nope

What he means is that as your fortress gets a higher population and creates more wealth you will attract larger and larger sieges.

Ah, yes. My second seige was 50+ goblins and 6 trolls. What was so special about getting trolls? Except for the fact they escaped the cages when I tried mass pitting them, and my 30 hunting dogs had to tear them to shreds...

Trolls are building destroyers, so they'll break down your doors and other furniture.

I had that same issue with the new release, I fixed it by using a fresh install instead of copying the new files to my old DF folder. Have you tried that?

Ya, I put it in its own separate folder. Didn't want to mess this fort up, gunna run it until it spirals out of control, and then try out the new version...

Kinda funny, I walked off, thought I had paused it, came back to find the fire-breathing Titan I had been tracking across the map entered my fort... and was slaughtered by 4 hunting dogs and 3 marksdwarves:-D Man, I love those guys...
