Goblins will start harassing a fortress early in its life, first with babysnatchers and ambushes, and later with [[siege]]s. Goblin babysnatchers carry a bag for their purpose. Their soldiers are commonly armed with [[copper]] and [[iron]] [[armor]], as well copper, iron and silver [[weapon]]s, generally with no quality levels unless on weaponmasters. These items can be a valuable source of metals for fortresses that embarked on metal-scarce areas (leading some players to refer to the plunder from a defeated goblin attack as [[Goblinite]]). Defeating a majority of an attacking force usually sends the rest of them running. | Goblins will start harassing a fortress early in its life, first with babysnatchers and ambushes, and later with [[siege]]s.

Goblins show the least concern for [[ethics]] out of any race in the game, with the sole exception being that treason is punishable by death. It appears that goblins do not enforce punishment, but instead simply ignore crimes and leave any punishment to be determined by the parties involved. It is because of their acceptance of controversial acts that goblins become enemies with nearly every other race. For example, goblins find the torture of animals, the butchering and consuming of sapient beings, oath breaking, and general malice acceptable or consider it a personal matter. Invading goblins are even willing to attack other goblins lounging around at your fortress{{Verify}}. | Goblins show the least concern for [[ethics]] out of any race in the game, with the sole exception being that treason is punishable by death.

In [[Adventurer mode]], "goblin" settlements will sometimes be completely goblin-free, having been displaced by the descendants of children that were captured in ages past. In this respect, whilst they're a goblin ''faction'', they're populated purely by prisoners and brainwashed humanoids. | In [[Adventurer mode]], "goblin" settlements will sometimes be completely goblin-free, having been displaced by the descendants of children that were captured in ages past.
