  I believe that ambushes will add up over years, but what about sieges and surface megabeasts?

I have a no dwarf, no elf, limited humans world I'm running now that hasn't seen any caravans from humans in 20 years.  There were a couple goblin snatchers in year 2 before I sealed up tight to grow the fortress safely, so I know there are goblins near.

When I do finally open up the huge trap system to the outside world, should I expect to see hundreds of goblins all of a sudden pop up on the screen?

Does the fact that I have nobody with appraisal skill (it rusted off the one dwarf who had it) mean that nobody knows what my fort is worth, so they can't calculate if they should attack me?  Heh.

I'll find out one way or another in another 10-20 game years I suppose, when I open up Torcheven to the outside world.

Sieges will show up immediatly as they enter the map, ambushes could still be hidden so you'll probably encounter a few when you open the door to the outside world. Gobbo's will still know your wealth somehow.

Maybe the next traders will encounter some ambushes.

There has never been a trader.  Not one, which is why I'm wondering how bad it's going to be when I finally do open the doors, lol.

Pretty damn bad in that case then, have !!FUN!!.

Ambushes don't pile up.  The ambush party will leave eventually, usually after 1-2 seasons.  A siege party leaves after 1 year usually, just in time to be replaced by next year's.

are you on an island?

Nope, generated a 17x17 world with only dwarves, humans, and goblins, and haven't seen any humans yet.

*note*  My fort are the only dwarves left - no more dwarf civ.  I'm not sure the human civ is still around, it might have gone poof in the last 20 years.
