Recently my fortress got attacked by a group of dwarfes,humans and elves without weapons or armor.

That's fairly common, at least according the wiki.

I have yet to see a bandit raid myself; the area I embarked on is a ghost town.

Here's a tip, though... Use Russian characters in your WPA5 passphrase. If your spontaneous AI is anything like my spontaneous AI (not as aggressive as yours, good conversation, but actually worse than me at chess*), it can't handle any character outside of the CODEPAGE 437 list.

*I hope. It could just be lulling me into a false sense of security.

Its annoying that bandits seem to favor being completely unarmed and unarmored atm. You get missions to kill a criminal mastermind and bandit lord which has the country in terror and he turns out to be a dwarf with boots.

In the land of the unarmored, the booted dwarf is king!

I once had a siege that consisted of TWO goblin archers.  That stayed at the map edge, behind a small hill.

Just boots, nothing else?

Cause, that sounds pretty terrifying... I sometimes end up with situations when I assign civilian armor but forget I ran out of leather before finishing the last set in a group, and then notice one of my dorfs is running around in leather high boots and leather armor... nothing else...

*note to self, queue the leggings jobs before the armor jobs*

Leggings+Boots=shirtless and manly!
Armor+Boots=pantless and... unsettling.
