An '''ambush''' is a type of attack in [[fortress mode]] where a small force of enemy {{Catlink|humanoids}}, typically [[goblin|goblins]], attempts a sneak attack on your [[fortress]]. While smaller in scope than a full [[siege]], ambushes are not related to the number of [[dwarf|dwarves]] in your fortress, and so can be triggered by relatively small populations. | An '''ambush''' is a type of attack in [[fortress mode]] where a small force of enemy {{Catlink|humanoids}}, typically [[goblin|goblins]], attempts a sneak attack on your [[fortress]].

[[Goblin]] ambushes are usually announced with the message "An ambush! Curse them!", though this is occasionally modified to "A human has sprung from ambush!" if a captured [[human]] leads the [[squad]] (human [[civilization]]s themselves do not send ambushes, only [[siege]]s). Goblin ambushes are attracted by relatively high amounts of wealth; beyond a certain threshold, the higher the wealth, the more attractive your fortress becomes as a goblin ambush target. | [[Goblin]] ambushes are usually announced with the message "An ambush!
