How much was what you were buying worth?
I've found it to be around 40-50%.
I shoot for 50%. Depending on the broker's skills, sometimes the trader is ecstatic at 40%, sometimes they won't take anything under 60% without a counteroffer.
Raiding is a new DF mechanic where you can send out squads to raid other settlements (which can goad the victim into eventually going to war against your civ). This is done from the 'c'iv screen. I assume the wiki contains info on how raids work.
1) What is your population (not including visitors)? Goblins ignore you completely until you reach 80 (in vanilla settings).
2) Were there goblins in your list of neighbours when you embarked? They won't come if they're too far away.
3) How many raids have you sent out so far to encourage goblins to attack you (they'll ignore the pop and distance limits if you provoke them into war).
