They can't siege you if they can't get to you. You can check the neighbors before you select a site to embark at.

If you embark on an island or an isolated mountain valley you'll still get dwarves, but no one else. No elves, no humans, no goblins.

Megaprojects? Also, Hell and other monsters can still arrive through the deep. Apparently recently there was a psuedoarticle in PCGamer where someone founded a fort on an evil island where he was constantly menaced by undead on the surface as well as the forgotten beasts below, and eventually lost the fort to demons, so it isn't like there's no Fun to be had on an island.

It sounds like you're talking about OILFURNANCE, the "sequel" to Bronzemurdered.

That was indeed to what I referred. Was too lazy to quickly seek out the thread  :)
