I was getting 1-2 Kobold Ambushes with 10-20 Kobolds in them each year, and every so often I'd loose another GCS sock from the surface. I've finally gotten sick of the kobold raids, so I turned off invaders for a little while until I could clean up the outside.

I have spent a year and a half with 20 dwarves doing nothing except hauling and STILL I'm not through with all the crap from dead caravans.

I don't know why they choose to come year after year, considering goblins ambush them every year, and only a small amount escape. The Dwarven nation still hasn't picked a new liaison since the last one died in the 2nd year of the fortress. The human representitive hasn't yet been killed, but it's only a matter of time...

A Year and a half of collecting junk from outside the fortress... You'd think with the level of losses that caravans take in their rounds here, they'd either stop coming or hire more guards. They could certainly use double the guards though, since a single ambush group typically matches the caravan guards, and there are usually three ambush groups at once. I would help them, but It's a no immigration fort, so my military is only marksdwarves, and I don't dare let any of them become champions, since I need them to work. So off with the invaders, a few years of cleaning up useless laggy junk, and then we'll let them invade again.

You could always build a tunnel from the map edge to your fort. Make it the only 3x3 road in and they'll always go to it

Sounds like the perfect place for the ambushers to travel through too....

Ah, but it's easy to build a line of traps across a tunnel.

Traps?  BAH!

Elaborate Grate/Pump/Magma  death-tunnel.   Or "swimming pool"

How is that not a trap?  REAL dwarves use unarmed, untrained wrestlers to defend everything.

I must be a real dwarf then, and I wasn't even trying to be!

Killing invaders isn't my problem, it's the arrogant elves who appear wherever they want and lay their wood crap all over the place. I'm working on a system to remove any other issues, and working on a Boatmurdered device to go in my fortress for "spring cleaning" Anything that is described by people here would ruin the aesthetics of the fortress, which is important not to ruin!
