Will people at war with you send full strength sieges regardless of population and wealth?

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

They probably do.
I wouldn't know since I haven't been at war.
I bet the goblin leaders are all like:
"Hmm. . . You earthdiggers are tougher than I thought. I'll have to improvise!"
After you repel their sieges, they're all like:
"D'ah! Now they're making me angry!"

Narp; I'm pretty sure that sieges begin at a set population/wealth cap, then more troops come every other siege afterwards until they reach full strength.

(Sorry, don't have time to read through it myself, mightn't even have the info you need).

Good luck!

Only happens with goblins.

I never knew Mr. Smite was a goblin.

I guess it still comes down to your distance from the nearest Goblin stronghold. In my current fort I am at war with the Goblins and I fortified in preparation as soon as I could but it was about 3 years before I even saw a snatcher. From year 4 onwards though the ambushes and sieges are comming fairly often.

He IS first mate under a goblin captain. If he was abducted as a child by baby snatchers, then it's perfect.

I guess what I'm really asking is if the goblins will siege you (A vile force of darkness has arrived! SIEGE!) if you're at war with them without consideration to standard siege requirements (will they siege you even if you have 7 dwarves and 10k wealth).

No; they won't. They only invade after you have a sufficient population(more than 30, I know that much)

Didn't get a siege in 10 years of 33-37 dwarves.  Raised pop cap from 30 (lol) to 50, siege came after the next migration wave.

Do they open up chest full of badass weapons that no one else can acess?
