start location question
« on: August 29, 2014, 10:53:25 pm »

so i noticed in the tabs to choose locations
on the tab that shows near by civilisations the spot i want listed only humans dwarfs and elves, but no goblins
goblins are listed elsewhere on the map, so im just wondering  if embarking on this location will mean i get no gobblinite to boost my metal supplies? through seige or raids

No goblins will attack, unless one of the sites near you gets conquered.

The reverse thing happened to me. I had embarked on a site with goblin neighbors. Unfortunately, their sites were conquered very early, so I had no more sieges after they got kicked out of range.

that is unfortunate, thank you for your answer though.
dang the fortress was looking good too, lots of intresting land features, wild elephants and rinos... well on to the next one, its no fun with out potential goblin fun  early on

You could always get the humans to siege you, they equip iron too. Though, they're not as dumb as goblins and won't just immediately run straight into danger.
