The idea's fairly simple; groups of thieves who turn aggressive rather than flee when spotted. Sometimes they'd be after the highest-value loot they could find, be it in the wagons of a passing caravan or your own hoard, and at others they'd be targeting one specific type of goods like weapons or gems. You could even have smaller, more elite groups who only want a specific artefact.

No doubt it can be arranged for them to possess broad Cockney accents when addressed in Adventure mode.

I think this should be filed somewhere under: make goblins have coherent goals when raiding.

Killing all the dwarf they can get their hands on seems like a coherent goal.

Goal as in reason.

They really, really hate dwarves?
It's entertaining for them to kill dwarves?
Sort of like why recreational hunting exist, some people like killing stuffs.

I'm not saying this should completely replace the current raid behaviour. You'd still get the straightforward kill-'em-all raids, but this would be a separate event, perhaps not even carried out by goblins.

This is something that would be implemented as entities are improved.  The more advanced entities get the more reasons they would have for raids.  Right now raids are only there for "We are at war with ____, so lets attack this outpost"

This happened to me a few times to a lesser extent. I'd often have goblins at the front gate, and when their reinforcements spawned, it would often include a few goblin thieves or kidnappers. Between the siegers and the thieves, it felt like a raid.

So it wouldn't be hard for the game to crank out the occasional heavily armed, very brave, thief and kidnapper squad...instead of just sending one or two poorly armed slobs to get 'et by my dogs at the door.
