I am trying to make a crack goblin fighting fortress to infiltrate and destroy goblin towers.  I am told by the dwarf wiki that it is possible to embark to a location with a goblin town and bring doom upon their filthy doomed heads yet when ever I assemble my team an embark I find that the goblins are friendly.  What gives?  Is there a way to prevent this.  I have heard that they will turn hostile when the first siege happens but by then I will be well established and that is no fun.

If you wish to do this, adventure mode is the easiest method.

The other option is to find a goblin entity which you're at war with, and create your settlement there.  That is difficult to find though, as starting a game where a dwarven civilization is in active war with a goblin civilization is highly unlikely.   I think I went through 20-30 worlds looking for it last time.

And even then, I'm not sure 100% if it'll work.

I am having a hard time right now getting any sieges. I have it so there are 6 races (all [can_learn] [can_civ]) and NONE of them will attack me.... ohh well.

-While your there dont forget to remove (d-n) the tower support

There is some bug in the current version that causes hostile civs to be friendly if you embark on their city.

I'm pretty sure 39c (?) you could embark on hostile cities. It was how I first learned the very basics of Dwarf Mode after figuring out adventure mode.

Just send in your 7 stalwart warriors to be torn to peices by the resident demon and then... RECLAIM MODE! Rinse and repeat untill you have a vacant goblin city.

What he said. I think the easiest way would be to train up an adventurer and make minced meat out of the local gobbo tower. I have, however, found completely empty towers before (though it had a GCS up the top floor) in adventure mode. Grab a guy, train him up and start scouting for towers!

[Guy Montag]

Adventure mode is fine and dandy, but if you save scum it can corrupt your save files and world-gen. All it takes is a stray bolt from off screen to end hours of stat grinding and preparation when taking on a town.

I am not looking to just kill the goblins.  I wanted to create a fortress under the threat of a goblin tower.  So unfortunately adventure mode is not going to get me what I am looking for.  But if it is a bug of the current version maybe this is something better addressed to the modding forum.

[Walliard]

Modding won't fix it; it's a side effect of last year's Army Arc prelims. To be absolutely sure, I'd go back to 38c.

Well if being currently at war with that race starts them out hostile you can gen a world and grab the seed for it then look at legends for any time they've been at war with your guys, and then re-gen the world off of that seed but with an end year during that war.
