Did other goblins trip those traps already? If they haven't been reset, they won't work.

No, he was the only goblin left after I reclaimed, he is alone and I have had 0 invasions or ambushes so far. These are freshly made traps loaded with cages and stone.

The goblin is being lured through the traps by dwarves who pick up items near him by the way, if that helps.

It's my understanding that goblins that hang around after a reclaim aren't hostile for some reason, so that's probably why he isn't triggering the traps.  Can you attack him?  If you make him hostile he might be able to set off traps.

New goblins that show up will work as usual.

I can attack him, how exactly do I check if he's hostile?
He looks pretty mean when he's chasing one of my civilian dwarfs, and when he catches one the walls turn red. Don't know if this counts.

I might add he killed my one marksdwarf on this reclaim before I started setting up traps.

I've never actually reclaimed a site, so I'm not positive, but if you check in the units screen does he show up as Hostile (in red text)?

It's probably academic at this point anyway, if he's chasing dwarves and painting the walls with their blood then he's definitely hostile.  Goblins can definitely dodge weapon traps, and I'm pretty sure they can dodge stone fall traps.  I don't think they can dodge cage traps, so I'm at a loss to explain that one.

That is one heck of a title.

I said the same thing, any more dwarves and the title will blot out the sun.

Doors don't close if something's blocking them. You can have a dead butterfly in the doorway and it'll prop the door open (happened at Boatmurdered and let in a goblin siege).

I've been generating a new world and am wanting to create multiple forts-- but I can't play simultaneous forts in the same world, and I've heard horror stories about "duplicate raws". If I were to c/p my generated world to create new region folders, would it explode my computer?

It shouldn't, provided your copying the region folder. Duplicate raws means having multiple entries with the same identifier in one raw file.

Question related to modding; more of an annoyance than a problem.
I want my fortress guard squad to be all Marksdwarves, because I have a thing for patrolling aboveground fort walls. I have done this, and everything is spiffy. However, my Captain of the Guard is blue, while the others are green. This is confusing, as my only other squad is an Axedwarf squad. Just how would I go about changing his color?
I have gone into the raws and found the Captain of the Guard entry, but changing the numbers on his [COLOR:1:0:1] tag seems to do nothing.

watch it with a trong captain of the guard, he could lead to !Fun!

1) I have a jail. I'm not worried about that.
2) You could always give me the information I requested instead of telling me the obvious newbie things.

EDIT: I probably sound like an asshole. >,>

I found a solution, which was to make the goblin aquatic. A very lame solution to a problem which has bothered me for 2 hours.
Thanks anyway guys.

Which raws were you editing?

Entity changes require a world regen to have any effect.

Ah dang, that's unfortunate. Oh well, thanks for the help. Maybe I'll toy around with my modding a bit more before I commit to a fortress next time.
