I don't know what's going on. I do not have invaders turned off in init...

I embark on several forts at this point, in places that clearly indicate lots of neighbors, one of them was even at war with both humans and elves and hostile goblins all at once.
I make millions and millions of created wealth. That same fort that was at war with everybody was cranking out like 20 superior adamantine serrated discs a year just to try and get invaders.
I am just in a regular old foresty area, not on a weird mountain or anything inaccessible. And these civs are within a few tiles of me on the world map, not right at the edge of my range.

Yet 5 years, 6 years in, nobody, nothing. Not a single wimpy goblin sieges. Not even a baby snatcher. Titans and forgotten beasts flow in like water, so the wealth is definitely working on one leve. I've killed a dozen in each fort. I also get plenty of traders from any civs I'm not at war with, no problem. yet NO INVADERS.

The hell?

Embark near a necromancer tower. Look on in horror as the heavily armored and armed legions of the undead utterly annihilate entire squads of legendary warriors.

I hate zombies, I do not find them fun, they just grind my FPS down and present little or no challenge or interest since there is only one or two good safe ways to deal with them.

Even if they do invade, that doesn't help me fix the issue of the ones I actually want to invade still not doing so.

[Lemunde]

Same here. I made a really awesome drowning trap and nobody ever showed up to trip it. Maybe there's some kind of trigger other than wealth that attracts them. Do you have a population cap? Artifacts turned off?

[Fr1gid]

I have noticed this as well but I have enough wealth and over 100 pop.

[pisskop]

Ive noticed.

I have a world where the gobos and dwarves are at war and neither side is curbstomping the other.  Im going to run a fort and probably pray that they show up.

artifacts are always on in my forts, most of them have pop 20-30 capped, but my most recent one I set to 80, and have been at 80 for a year or two and still nothing.

(if that is a trigger, though, it shouldn't be)

[smeeprocket]

weird, I personally just barely survived the most recent goblin siege.

Although the rest of the civs around me don't seem to have problems with attacks.

[Dyret]

Yeah, I've gotten some fairly brutal ones as well. Maybe they get tied up with other settlements now that they don't always win?

They don't seem to tell you about most battles. After I retired my last fort and checked the legends everyone seemed to have been attacked by everyone at some point, but the liason never bothered to tell me about it, except for when invaders successfully grabbed a Dwarf site.

[kingu]

same here. 5 years in now and not even a thief.

I just had a 90 goblin attack. First siege in weeks. Real life weeks. Tough siege too, five cave dragons and some jabberers and ogres. Even had a demon made of rose gold.

Question: would weapon traps full of silver war hammers and spiked ball one-hit the undead, since that's blunt damage?

one-hit?  Not guaranteed.  But given all the damage I cant see them not getting mauled.

Blunt damage seems to be better because it doesnt sever parts and bruising everything seems to count for pulping as cutting would.  and since its easier to bruise . . .

Dear God, how many sieges does one go through before it gets to that?

Incidentally, what is the length of time between each siege on average? I need a lot of recovery time.

[StagnantSoul]

I've just had tons of spambushes before now. A spambush is when an elven ambush, then a goblin ambush arrive, followed each season by ambushes. I've had ten ambushes from the goblins in four years, and four from the elves. Then that siege came. Only lost one soldier to the spambushes, but got half my military killed, meaning eight dwarves killed, from that siege. The cave dragons and the demon did the most of the damage.

[Fniff]

Unrelated, but I thought this was in General Discussion and people were complaining how they aren't assaulted in the streets anymore.
