Once you have a [[Mayor]], [[Trade minister]], or [[Treasurer]], the [[Goblin]]s will begin to attack you. Every season they have a 50% chance to attack you, and while the first two attacks will always consist of [[thief|babysnatchers]], subsequent attacks have an additional 50% chance to be all-out sieges. | Once you have a [[Mayor]], [[Trade minister]], or [[Treasurer]], the [[Goblin]]s will begin to attack you.

They are split into separate squads scattered along the left edge of the map. The first siege you see with a given fort might consist of as little as a single unmounted squad with no trolls, but the goblin forces will escalate in size as the game progresses. Later on you may be seeing 100 or more goblins show up in a single siege, all mounted, with 10 to 20 trolls. |

Goblins are less than stalwart, and once a siege sustains significant casualties, there will come a rousing cry of ''"Screw you guys, I'm going home"'' as the survivors retreat at full pelt. | Goblins are less than stalwart, and once a siege sustains significant casualties, there will come a rousing cry of ''"Screw you guys, I'm going home"'' as the survivors retreat at full pelt. |
