I've got 20 fighters legendary in various arts - everyone in wrestling, and shield use, and various weapons.

I've got another 40 legendary pumpers wrestling and shielding their way up.

One entrance protected by a double drainable moat, the other one by a trio of legendary ballista crews.

The problem is that it's gotten somewhat boring - when the very occasional goblin siege happens, it's always only one or two groups. It's also tedious to equip all my dwarves with armor, replace their clothes etc - so I had the idea of slaughtering a few dwarven caravans in the hope that they will siege. All the useless Goblin equipment would then be piles and piles of steel armor and clothes, ready for use.

Is this a good idea? Is there a way to return to peace? Will I still get immigrants?

I've also heard that you can 'win the game' by getting the Dwarf king to settle with you - can he still come?

This is only my third fortress, so I would prefer not to screw it up permanently.

Hell, I'm not even sure if it's possible to ignite a war post-worldgen yet.

Some people say you can, but I've yet to see proof either way.

 Nope, can't go to war with your own civ. As for warring with other dwarven civ's I don't know.

 I do know that messing with the caravans from your own civ can cause immigrant problems. Just order a bunch of steel gear and make a freakin-ton of high-quality food to trade for it.

You dont' "win the game" when the King comes, it's just another noble to annoy your dwarves.

And your fortress becomes the capital of your civilization, which is annoying, because the Liason stops coming.

If he is the last noble to appear, that's winning enough for me
So the best advice would be to restart somewhere more dangerous?
Asking for steel items is a good idea, thanks..
