Have you ever just watched your merry dwarves running about and the fortress running 99% smoothly and thought "It's running smoothly... oh god what?"

Well done OP, you've inadvertently weaponized ghosts.

It happens all the time. That's usually when I start taking unnecessary risks on purpose until the game returns to the "Oh god I have ruined everything" mode.

Aside from that, being rational is not only optional, but is frowned upon.  We hate elves.  We kill for socks.  We sacrifice nobles.  We love kobolds.

i am running a very specific flavor of 31.25, plus i do all of my little mods by hand, and i couldn't remember what made a civ invade, which was the [BABYSNATCHER] tag. didnt want to rehunt down the bacon trees and barlaying dogs and all the other things i overlook

If you want a civ to be hostile, just give it the [utterances] tag. It won't be able to speak and so cannot do diplomacy, making it hostile.

anything i can do to make ......i probabally have to adjust the [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POP_SIEGE] tag to make civs invade at a lower population, dont i? im only seeing 1,2,and 3, does that specify a specific sized population in real numbers?

At first I thought the text said :that whenever your dwarves are smoothing (Walls,floors,etc.) your fortress is running smoothly.
