No Seige

Guys, I have 97 dorfs in the fort, and there hasn't been a seige yet. What am I doing wrong?

Yep. Caught two of the buggers. Thieves, and all that. Executed them both.

What's your fort's value like and how much have you exported?

327K value, 20K exported
Oh, here come some migrants.
There probably will be a seige soon.

Get as much exported wealth as possible. Keep your fingers crossed and blades sharp.

Build a grid of floor grates above the entire city. Draft a squadron of masons and bomb the crap out of the city with falling constructed walls.

For me, I know the ambushes and sieges are coming when I start getting 4-5 thieves/snatchers at once.  My entryway is a three tile wide ramp so once the first one gets discovered the fleeing dwarves tend to uncover the next 4 and there's lots of running around and interrupt spam for a bit.

Ambushes/Sieges tend to start the next season after I get that.

Make a lot of wealth. If you're getting snatchers, then goblins have access to you, it's probably you don't have enough fancy things for them to want to start a-stabbing on you. Distance seems to be a factor too in how long it takes for them to arrive.

You need more shinnies. 327k is a very, very low value for a fort of this size.

In a hole in the ground there lived a dwarf. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a dwarf fortress, and that means magma.

Just to compare, I usually have over 500k by time I hit the 50 pop cap I have set, and closer to 1m by time it's all stabilized. Though it's mostly cloth products :D

I get chains of huge sieges if my industries are constantly active, cloth with dye and glass industries are very good because ropes and trap parts are valuable enough! Granted I've not been running them as hard in 34.xx version, and still get occasional sieges past 80 pop.

I usually don't get sieges until my wealth hits the 2 mil mark, with around 100 population. Wealth is, as said before, a huge factor in when, how often, and how hard you get siege'd.
