Goblins come at 90? Really?

I'm pretty sure you can have seiges over 70, but I might be wrong. I keep my pop cap at 1000, because that is the only way I can get big enough migrant waves to offset the fun. My population tends to stabilize around ~150

Wiki says 80 (unverified), FD mod 2nd-tier enemies come at 90 - same time as goblins, but I had sieges at my scientific testing fort that has less then 70 dorfs. Gotta check that save for precise data.

Use siege engines, water drowning chambers, spike pits, and, of course, magma.
Or you can turn invaders off in init, and turn back on when you are ready to meet them.

Manager dorf can set priorities of jobs. Unless, of course, he is too busy hauling stone to validate the job orders.

They can stay for a whole year, until next siege arrives. But usually will leave in summer.
Better deal with them.

Basically, if you want to train them all the time - schedule/alerts should have NO SCHEDULED ORDER and they will go to train on their free time, just like individual combat drill for melee soldiers. For more rigorous training also turn off all labours and hauling jobs on them.

Remove training sessions from schedule. When marksdorfs are set to train they just go to hang out to barracks, while complain about patrol duties.
They train on archer target when they are off-duty.

make that 4, tigermen now. AHH 4?!

That's a lot of 'em. Do you have any races that are in war with others ? It is quite fun to watch them kill each other.

Well, I mined adamantine for the first time. Who could have expected that Clowns will be just in the second layer of it?
My armored and well-trained militia couldn't stop the invasion, peasants that were drafted to help in fight died in seconds. The last dwarf in fortress was a little 5 year old dwarven girl. She had blue eyes and white braids. And she liked puppies and horses. After she saw her younger brother being torn apart by demons, she took her little puppy and ran away to the forest outside. There she was caught and murdered by an ash demon.

Wait...
