[it_is_coming]

On a whim, I decided to attempt to take down a goblin fortress. So I brought along a bunch of soldiers, and launched an attack. Nothing happened. The dwarves that I station just sit there, the goblins don't even notice them. I'm kind of a newb, so there is probably something that I'm doing wrong, would somebody be so kind as to tell me what it is?

The dwarves are at peace with Goblins.

Therefore they won't fight.  It's like settling in human town.

[Skid]

Use dwarf companion to set all of them to "From the underworld."

It's a side effect of the new world gen process, the goblins and the dwarves have little to fight over in world gen so they are almost always at peace when the game starts.

Eventually the goblins will be more warlike and you will start out hostile to them.

It's a bug in 40d.  Even if you're at war with the goblins, when you embark to a goblin fortress, they're all peaceful.  If you want a skirmish, either use a previous version, or use Dwarf Companion to set them as hostile.

Or actually let the right people know we want this changed back to something that makes sense.

Then again, DF and insanity go hand in hand.

It'll probably be fixed in the next release. Worse case, I believe we're supposed to be able to declare wars now.
