So I'm playing 31.14 with the lazy newb pack, and I'm just getting into my fifth year. I've got almost three different ways of disposing of invaders [1: Pit-drop via retractable bridge, then another pit-drop via water onto spikes/ 2: Feed to ettin/ 3, same room as Ettin: Spike traps everywhere to chew up successful gladiators] and I'm waiting on my first batch of invaders to show up. I've created precisely 2,290,000 wealth, imported 71,777 and exported 61,904 wealth. I've already gotten about seven or eight forgotten beasts, two of which I've already disposed of via draining water onto them (one was made of steam so it was susceptible to water, the other snow but that one was killed by the amphibian men) the one Ettin that I captured, as well as dealt with two gremlins.
I have heard rumors that there are absolutely no sieges in 31.14. I knew that there were issues with sieges in this version, but none at all?
My question is this: will I ever see a siege, or even a single goblin for that matter, if I continue playing this fortress with version 31.14? Typically I'd just update the damn thing and be done with it, but the Lazy Newb Pack makes everything extremely convenient and they finally put the .14 version out so I'd like to play it for awhile. I'm also currently running NoExotics and I believe that only kicks in when you generate a new world... so I might have to sacrifice my current game if I both want to run NoExotics and the new version of DF.
