Goblin sieges now can bring orges instead of trolls. I can't imagine it would change the approaches to solving them much

Are the ogres wearing clothing? If so, deflector shield bug!

Why now, I had ogre sieges two versions ago.

I think it depends on the taming heroes and territory--the fort with the ogres was in an evil area (the harpy/ogre) sort, and ogres came as astray monsters.  I assume the local goblins tamed them, since they brought 40-50 at a time. I was forced to abandon the surface of a surface fort for them--the goblins lefts the siege, but the ogres stuck around breaking my tombs. I only dislodged them when the human caravan came

Out of curiosity, do the gorges have rivers running through them?

Now I'm tempted to change all instances of "siege" to "orgy".

I don't know what the "deflector shield bug" is exactly, but yes, they wear clothes. Which seem to protect better than the breastplates the goblins wore.

Big creatures use big clothes, and big clothes are quite effective when it comes to protection.

This is normal, and ogres are like trolls on steroids. Even unarmored ones can do some damage, so when they wear clothing, look out.

trap for ogres and other non-trap avoid building destroyers.  build a window out in the middle of nowhere.  surround it with two layers of fully loaded weapon traps.  watch the ogres shred themselves.
