In a recent game (40d) I received "A dwarf has sprung from ambush!" when a dwarf-led squad of goblins ambushed one of my fisherdwarves.

:I can verify the part about "to a dwarf" as I've played several isolationist games where migrants are just left outside beyond a channel-trench or what not to fend for themselves, and often get ambushers and/or siegers that slaughter them and then have nothing else to do (until sappers are created by Toady anyways;) ) --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 16:10, 18 April 2008 (EDT) | :I can verify the part about "to a dwarf" as I've played several isolationist games where migrants are just left outside beyond a channel-trench or what not to fend for themselves, and often get ambushers and/or siegers that slaughter them and then have nothing else to do (until sappers are created by Toady anyways;) ) --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 16:10, 18 April 2008 (EDT) | ||
− | Ambushes do NOT have to be an enemy force; it's anybody using the ambusher skill. After abandoning a propserous fortress and reclaiming it, I had several dwarves still there. Periodically I'd get the ambush message; it was almost always a hunter stalking game. --[[User:Propatriamori|Propatriamori]] 00:23, 22 April 2008 (EDT | + | Ambushes do NOT have to be an enemy force; it's anybody using the ambusher skill.

I can say that wild animals do spot ambushers. I have had it happen twice to me on df_28_181_39f.

In the past few days (playing .40d), every Goblin ambush has included one Elf (presumably the leader). Is this a bug, or some freaky event caused by something within my game? --[[User:Nekojin|Nekojin]] 06:32, 13 September 2008 (EDT) | In the past few days (playing .40d), every Goblin ambush has included one Elf (presumably the leader).

::::I've had this happen to me, too. Goblin-elves are some of the most butch yet most wimpy things I've ever seen. Instead of turning their kills into armor or weapons, they turn them into...earrings. And bracelets. And crowns. So much elf leather tackery on <em>one elf</em> that it took three days to haul it all to the stockpile... (What? No leather more supple than Elf. And Elf Bone Crowns are made of awesome.) --[[User:Corona688|Corona688]] 10:29, 10 December 2008 (EST) | ::::I've had this happen to me, too.

I started a new fortress and after about a year i was actually ambushed by elves! I noticed that the wiki says that they dont ambush so i changed that. I was very surprised when it happened, and im not sure i could ahve fought them back if it wasnt for the fact that i had just reclaimed the fortress because of a fire imp accident --[[User:rock n rat|rock n rat]] 00:35, 19 September 2008 (EDT) | I started a new fortress and after about a year i was actually ambushed by elves!

− | : | + | == Ambushing Giant Cave Spiders == |
+ | I just got ambushed by a giant cave spider. Just one, so far. The message was unusual: "An ambush! Drive them out!" But it remains to be see if it was just one or a <em>force</em> of them, and so whether this information belongs on the cave spider or ambush page. |
