[Trigonous]

I got fed up with ambushes (what, my 50 z-level watchtower can't see you coming in those numbers?), so I removed the [BABYSNATCHER] tag from my goblins, and added in [SIEGER].  I also copied them so I can have three goblin civs ([ENTITY:EVIL], [ENTITY:EVIL1], [ENTITY:EVIL2], only difference being the entity name and the active seasons).  The multiple civs works fine, and so far no babysnatching, but also no sieges.  They come to trade instead.  In one fort I managed to get them to siege after building a water trap on the depot and killing their merchants over and over, but they stood at the map for a while when sieging and waited a whole season before finally charging.

So, is there any way to make the goblins ALWAYS siege and not force me to trade with them first?  And how can I get them to attack immediately?

There is, actually- if you remove the ability to speak from goblins, they don't have the option of peaceful dealings with anyone else. It makes world gen interesting, that's for sure- you'll want to be careful about the starting number of goblins or they'll go extinct very quickly.

The infamous Orc Mod uses this method to great effect.
