Summary

0007461: Unretired fort gets 1000+ goblin invaders

Description

Embarked on a volcano, messed up my lava tank, fortress starts flooding. Decide to retire the fort to see how the game deals with the slowly-flooding fortress. Passed by several in-game months with adventuring, decided to unretire fort.

Fort was as I'd left it, lava level had not increased and population was still only 9. Unpaused and immediately a goblin invasion arrives. Invasion kept increasing in numbers and shows no signs of stopping, currently at over 1,000 goblins (and also a human adventurer I retired at the site of a dark fortress). Fort doesn't seem to have anything especially valuable?

Steps To Reproduce

Not sure if it is, but you could always do what I did in the description and see if that works.

Additional Information

Could very well be an infinite number of goblins but my computer can't handle the steadily increasing number.

Dark towers contain thousands of goblins and trolls, causing lag

(0026913) Rafal99 (reporter) 2014-07-18 17:00 edited on: 2014-07-18 17:01	I tested the save and the goblins kept spawning all the time I played, until the last dwarf stepped on magma while hunting for vermin and became !!expedition leader!!... At the end there were 1356 creatures in the Other tab, including 4 wild animals, 1 human adventurer and 1351 goblin siegers. I think large invasions may be intentional because they happen to non-player sites, but 1300+ of goblins is a little too much simply because computers can't handle it well. Note to OP: What forces of evil made you think it is a good idea to make your magma cistern one z-level ABOVE your main corridor and not install doors anywhere? D: This fortress was definitely too !!Fun!! to survive...
