I've read the previous posts about ambushes but I thought this was different. At one point my dwarves decided to name a few resident Caveswallowmen for no apparent reason which I've heard of happening before. However, a message came up saying "An ambush! Curse them!" Now I expected to see a dwarf surrounded by goblins but instead I saw a caveswallow man with a kobold next to him. I was just wondering if it was normal for kobolds or goblins to ambush non-dwarves.

What most likely happened is the cave swallowman came close enough in range of the kobold to detect him for you, breaking his stealth. Thats one reason its good to have lots of animals breeding; they are amazing at counter-intelligence.

So does that mean when your dwarves give names to things living in the area (not from killing dwarves) they become friendly or something? Beause the named caveswallow men are still wild animals.

Kobold thieves are technically hostile to everything, including kobold archers.

So they get spotted by EVERYONE,  .

Oh alright then that makes sense thanks for the responses.

So ambushes aren't some cheese where enemies spawn randomly on the map right next to someone and start killing.  They actually have to come from the side of the map and move undetected?

From what I understand, yes.  They sneak until they are spotted.
