You cannot play as a goblin in adventure mode (unless you mod it in). Goblins live in "dark fortresses" and will attack dwarven adventurers and companions on sight. They function as any other settlement to non-dwarves, though there's rarely any trade, quests can be obtained from the leader, and their churches can be joined by adventurers. Goblins are a good source of combat experience and equipment, with quality on par with dwarven settlements. If you're not experienced though, just one goblin soldier is enough to kill you.

A vile force of darkness has arrived!

Goblins view dwarves as a scourge on the world and vice versa. When a fortress becomes large enough to attract their attention (after the acquisition of a mayor, trade minister, or treasurer), nearby goblin civilizations will have a 50% chance to send a siege each season. Various goblin childsnatchers will also attempt to take stray dwarven children home to fatten them up. The biggest threat to your fortress (after demons and poor planning) is a goblin siege.

A classic goblin tactic is to rush the front gate. This is often suicidal but can startle the fortress ruler into triggering untested defensive systems, pulling levers in a panic and flooding his/her entire fortress with magma, thus ending the dwarf problem.

Goblin sieges may be accompanied by groups of trolls if the mountains near their dark fortresses are inhabited by them. With modding, any creature which resides in the cave river or chasm, is [EVIL], and lacks [CAN_LEARN] is eligible to become a siege minion.

Why we love goblins[edit]

Siege aftermath. 30 dead, drowned, or trapped goblins will get you:

This has led some to describe such sieges as goblin christmas.

Goblins in Adventure Mode[edit]

Many a goblin child has been hushed quiet by the tales of the dwarven stranglers that creep into the rooms of bad little goblin boys and girls.

You cannot play as a goblin in adventure mode (unless you mod it in). Goblins live in "dark fortresses" and will attack you on sight. They give a lot of combat experience if you can kill all of them. If you're not experienced though, just one goblin soldier is enough to kill you.
