[AlmostEverywhere]

So I decided to embark on a goblin fortress, and things were going pretty smoothly.  I was off to the side, the gobbos were mostly leaving me alone, and aside from the liason choosing an unfortunately lethal path across the map everything was fine.  After the first winter, a couple elves came, and they started walking right between the giant goblin towers.  Soon they were running in circles for their lives as the goblin guards chased them.  That's when the ambush happened.

Two goblin squads jumped out and slaughtered the elves.  I was getting ready to lock the doors, when I saw them turn and head into the towers.  They then proceeded to work their way up the towers, slaughtering every native goblin inside!  One of the ambush squads even killed the elite goblin pikemaster at the top of the big tower (no demon on this map, sadly) while the other squad splattered a bunch of guards in a different tower.  After that, I guess they both had taken enough losses, because they headed off the map without ever getting close to my fortress entrance.

So, it was awesome.  Were they, like, from different goblin civs or something?  Or is it a bug?

Probably a bug.

i believe this is a bug currently... or at least quite a few versions back i did some testing seems that currently inhabiting goblins are hostile to EVERYTHING inclusive of ambushes kobolds snatchers sieges megabeasts and if you mod goblins to CIV_CONTROLABLE you then as well.

I did a similar thing, and since you guys seem to know a bit about goblin forts, here is what happened:

Embarked, killed most of the native goblins and finally lost my 7 dwarves. Reclaimed and took up residence in the towers and got a message after about a year that a goblin civilization had decided to settle the area, but after 2 more years no migrants ever showed up. Has anyone ever gotten hostile migrants to show up on their fortress? I assume it's just not implemented yet, but I found the message curious.

There's a message for that?!  Wow.  I wonder if that sort of thing also happens when you build at a human site then add LIKES_SITE:CITY to all the other races.
