Has anyone ever successfully wiped out an entire goblin civilization in adventure mode? As in complete genocide.

Personally i have problems clearing out a single fortress, there always seems to be one or two stragglers i can never find. Plus, sometimes new goblins immigrate from other dark fortresses. Which is somewhat maddening.

I completely cleared out a goblin tower on my current world.  I picked it because it was the only one in the civ with a good name, Ivywraith.  I marked its official downfall as the day I took down the Swordmaster who had killed at least ten previous adventurers.  It was the only fight I've ever had with a weaponmaster where I took a hit and didn't die.  I've never wiped out a civ though, because I've never been able to kill a demon.  I took out one's leg, causing him to fall five Z-Levels and he still killed me, with every bone in his body broken(Literally, the whole list was yellow or red)

Since no one is born after worldgen is complete, it should be possible to kill them all.  As for finding him, do a systematic search of every grid square on the map.

Demons are actually fairly easy, the trick is to pelt them with weapons from hiding until they go unconscious and then see goblin onlookers amazed at their prone leader's limbs flying of in bloody arcs, apparently of their own volition.

Sneaking rues. 

Actually, I think that should be "Demons rue sneaking."

I never throw random objects at boss-type monsters, it's like cheating, I throw spears and stuff.  And a demon-fight is just too awesome to waste sneaking.

I don't think it's possible. I've seen little migrations come in from off the map to repopulate towers and cities I've brutally massacred.

Thats why i said weapons. Random junk won't do much damage anyways. And the awesome comes in when the weakened demon looks up to see an axe coming down on his neck. 

Course thats more of a ninja awesome than a Conan awesome.

The easiest way to clear a site like that is to shift-T, to travel then > to enter the site again, after you have already explored the site a bit, you now have options of where you'd like to spawn. You should choose "Creature", as this is likely your missing goblin/goblins. It works like a wolfpack ambush, only you are the wolfpack.

I used Dwarf companion in 38c to make me uber, then I decided to kill everyone.

Everyone

Work in progress.

Or just starting to check megabeast numbers in year 2. Not nearly as many people to kill in year 7.

I think that if you stay in a town for time enough, you could see some births. The problem with the current state of the game is that things happen only when the player is there. The next release was supposed to make these things occur even when the player isn't there.

However, some things shouldn't happen even if you are there, as megabeasts attacks or invasions, for example.

edit: Sketch this, it looks like megabeasts rampages and invasions are possible in regular play - you just have to be really lucky, or to stay in one place forever for it to happen.
