1. Will goblins siege you in Fortress mode? If not, will they trade with you?

2. Will elves siege you in Fortress mode? If not, will they trade with you?


EDIT: made the title a bit clearer on what subject I'm asking about in the post. 44 views and no answers...

[Haven]

Elves will trade. Goblins, I dunno. In the future, I think whoever's at war with your civ will seige. Whoever isn't will probably trade. Not sure though. Also not sure if that's already the case, as I'm at war with goblins.

[Dame de la Licorne]

I don't think anyone's really played enough yet to know the answer to that.

[Untelligent]

Alright, is there an easy way to tell if the goblins/elves are at war with my dwarven civ, then?

[Eater of Vermin]

Press (c)ivilisations.  It'll be pretty obvious if you;re at Peace or at War...

Looking at mine, both gobbos and kobolds have made their peace with me...     I think I may finish this fortress in .38c as I've been relying on them as my mobile iron mine. 

[puke]

you can only get the (c)ivilization info if you have already made contact with them.  i noticed that on the Embark screen, goblins had a red dashed line after them when they were listed there.  i dont know if this indicated war or what, but i dont remember it from the previous version.

[Linthar]

The peace indicator on the civilizations screen seems to be broken. Both goblins and kobolds are listed as being at piece with me, but I've already gotten my first kobold thief and goblin ambush.

[Untelligent]

I heard that red line means war. But there's no easier way to check for current wars than waiting for the traders/siegers to show up? I was kinda hoping there was an option in Legends or something... Meh.

[VeryBadThingsDownHere]

I just got two goblin ambushes, and a few snatchers, so I'd guess the answer to goblin sieges is yes.

[Neoskel]

Siegers, ambushers, snatchers and thieves are generated at your fortress. They don't actually show any indication of your relations with the gobbos or kobolds.

We'll have to wait for the next part of the army arc for them to actually come from the civs.

[Moron]

I have noticed on the embark screen that sometimes a civilization shows up with "WAR" next to its name, but Goblins have a red line even if they're not at war - maybe that just means they're evil.

[Kagus]

Goblin:  "We're so evil, we have a red line after our names!  MUAHAHAHAHA, eevil, EEEVIIIIL!"

Elf:  "Uphold moral and ethical practices, or we'll send a thousand screaming berserkers to eat you."

Dwarf:  "Hey, I just realized that I can build stuff from the east!"
