Hey

So I've recently returned after a break due to busyness and I remember reading through the forums not too long ago about how DF had become pretty easy due to Goblins not sieging very well along with a few other problems that apparently made the game significantly easier. I was just curious whether this has been fixed/changed yet or should I wait till a later release, since I do enjoy how hard the game is, especially watching the goblin sieges.

Thanks

In version 40.23 was one of army bugs, Camp forever, squished (see http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/#2014-12-22). But still, sieging armies are no more generated out of thin air, they need to march to your fort. Have this and goblins should start coming in few years, once they find out about wealth hidden in your fort:
- like 80+ dwarves
- like 1M+ wealth created
- fort not too far from goblin sites or separated from them
- they are not too busy with sieging other places or defending their own sites

Easier? Not necessarily. They as stated take longer for 1. find out about your fort and 2. arrive there because as stated, they now need to be drafted out of the Goblin Population and Then march from their start point to your fort. All you need is a little more time. I had the 'luck' of haveing the first siege arrive in year 3. It can take longer for others.

If you want strong sieges generate a world with extreme high Goblin Population.
If you want weak sieges then generate a world with a smaller Goblin Population.
Because bow now that's where the siegers come from. No more thin air siegers, every being now has a history/point of origin.
Yes, it as well means that you could depopulate an entire world if you wanted to.

Undead are terrifyingly dangerous, if you want a challenge embark next to a necro tower.
