It just ticked over into winter.  Winter may not go that well.



Yes, that's right.  Eight ambushes.  In a row.

[Satarus]

Was part of your fort inaccessible until winter?  Cause that doesn't see right.  I've never seen more than 3 ambush squads.

Release the kittens!

@Satarus They'll build up after awhile if you don't trigger them. The most Ive gotten is 5 though.

No, that's the weird part.  My fort is perfectly accessible.  I simply set my military on duty, and they activated the eight ambushes, all right next to eachother, along their partrol route. 

The one thing I can think of is that my population is capped at 50 -- right now I have 53.  So I don't get sieges.  Yet my fortress wealth is 1.6 million.  Which could result in a *lot* of ambushes.  I might bump it up to 80 just to get around this annoyance.

I've seen seven, with 100+ corpses left after.

Sometimes though I seem to get multiple alerts from the same group. No way to tell which invader is part of which squad when they are clumped together or you don't know where the leader is.

If they spot more then 1 goblin at the same time to trigger an ambush you can get multiple messages.

I felt your pain, but I got the ultimate revenge.

Dorfs don't ambush. They get mechanical 

[Ziusudra]

You also get multiple messages if more than one dwarf/pet/friendly sees the same skulker/ambusher when it becomes visible.

I've had a siege x3 one time... Yes... I know... ( about 100 goblins, with their 10 troll buds)
Then FUN begins.
