6,000,000 cm3

Yes.
For comparison, goblins are 60,000 cm3 at full size and dwarves are the same. Humans are 70,000 cm3 full size, and humans are the biggest (in terms of size) civilized race.

Also, sometimes when I try to click things on the main page I end up downloading stuff, like index.gz. Why do I keep doing that?

Natural hostility is determined through ethics I believe, and goblins are basically anarchists. This puts them at odds with other races and it's likely everything on the planet will be out to kill you.

that should be interesting.
Jacob/Lee:
Yeah, reading Toady's post on ethics and looking at the wiki a bit shows that hostility is pretty much always caused by ethics. I'll cut it short, if race A and B both have [ACCEPTABLE] for all matters (which isn't the case in the vanilla game) they'll be best buds during worldgen. However, if race A has [ACCEPTABLE] for everything and race B has [UNTHINKABLE] for everything then they'll be at each others throats all the time, I think. It seems wars can just randomly start as well, which is why you see humans and elves fighting despite their ethics being close enough to each other to keep them at peace.

Everything is either [ACCEPTABLE] or [PERSONAL_MATTER], which is likely to piss off every race in the vanilla game.
