1.Train legendary dodger
2.Place it on a fortified jail, somewhere where the darn crossbow goblins can shoot.

What if 2.5 'Dodger dies' occurs before 3?

[dragoncurse]

Why you ask to me?

The answer is so simple.

Why not rush the goblins with legendary dodgers instead? Even though your solution is much more dwarfy. Perhaps even have a tame rhesus macaque modded with a high dodge chance in the cage?

Better still: cage trap filled with angry bears.  It forces them to use their ammo, AND it involves angry bears!  Because any time you can incorporate angry bears, it improves the plan.

[Savolainen5]

Even better.

1. Build cage
2. Fill with angry bears
3.
4. Profit
5. Dead gobbos.

[slothen]

actually the most effective counter to archers are legendary shield users.

[mcdonaldjord]

[Urist McTaverish]

Fix'd for you.

Actually, here's the idea, a waffled fort entrance.

Traps in between walls.

And use magma as syrup!

[Xenos]

Mod in War Giant Fluffy Wamblers to be embarkable. (Just to make things a little easier.) Mod fluffy wamblers to have legendary +10 (why not throw in redundant levels) dodging, shield using, and armor using.  The last two are just in case they somehow get equipment.  Breed these wamblers and leave them chained up on your walls.

I'd go for a snaking corridor filled with dozens of cage traps. Simple, afficient, and you can disarm the goblins afterwards. The only downside is filling animal stockpile with useless goblins, but there are some good solutions to this problem too (like crossbow bolt replicator combined with danger room and fortifications to skill makrsdwarves quickly.
