I'm using windows (and I'm guessing the memory layouts are completely different?), but thank you anyway!

That embark was pretty close to goblin country, though. I would speculate that being closer might make you a more attractive target, even if you're nominally "neighbors" either way.

I plopped one embark one map-tile away from a bunch of goblin sites. Nothin'. I've made sure my worlds have at least a 'short' history, so these sites are well established, too.

I had one siege and then it went silent for years now. Liason brings in news about what sounds like goblin civ conquering sites, so that's probably it, they all busy.

My liasons always seem to be either dead, or telling me that the world was the same as ever. :/

For my last four embarks (latest DF version, 40.13) - I've had no goblin attacks. No baby snatchers, ambushes, or sieges...

It's really putting a stopper in my plans for a goblin menagerie.

I've made sure that 'goblins' are in my list of neighbours prior to embark, 'invasions' are on in my d_init file, and my forts are years old, high-population and full of high-value goods.

Is this likely some other setting somewhere that I've messed with accidentally, or is this a bug anyone else has encountered in this version?

I imagine some migrants would have encountered many exotic objects/materials/animals! Who knows what adventures they have had throughout their lives.

I like the idea that some of the more rare, foreign, or spoilery preferences have a higher chance to remain hidden, though. Also the idea that once the fort discovers something, every dwarf discovers it too. I imagine my tiny dwarf community as being full of gossip.
