I've been building my first fortress and it's starting to get boring...
there are no hostile animals around and goblin sieges are few and far between. And small, just a few gobs.

Is there any way to trigger big sieges to occur?  Or to add hostile animals to fight?

Create vast amounts of wealth. Mine out any native platinum, gold, silver, etc you have and start making crafts.

Get a legendary cook trained up and start cooking super expensive meals. There's more ways to do it than that, but the bottom line is the more wealthy you are the more attractive you are.

Murder the human's trade liason. Then they'll siege.

[Phantom]

Kill an elf trader, give them wood, and violate the tree cutting limit.

Apply tentacle demons? o_O

Ah, yes, the orc mod.
First summer comes!  Barely set up!
A vile horde of darkness has arrived!
.......what.

[Slogo]

You made it all the way to summer? Lucky.

Early-Winter 1st year, a vile force of darkness has arrived!

That's based on the population trigger tags, in the entity files. If you reduce the numbers (range 1-5), you'll get sieged earlier.  You might want to try the orc mod and increase their trigger numbers to 3, so you have a chance to set up before they notice you.
