You cannot spot them before they show up at your place. As in, before the message reads "The Goblin Army has arrived!"

On my Large World Map, the message "Approaching from the west" showed up 5, 6 or 7 times (I forget). I had enough time, thanks to hermes boots, to make it all the way over to the edge of the map (the one without a dungeon) before they actually "arrived" and didn't see a single one.

Thing is, if it says west, you've got to go to the right. Why? The sun rises to the left, crosses the sky in a visible arc, then sets to the right. This clearly means that you are looking at the world while facing southwards. Meaning that West is to your right, and East is to your left.

Now, when the message popped up, I did go to the right edge of the map, and it DID say West. Yet, I didn't see a single one. You can't intercept the army before it gets to your place. (Someone confirm this so we can remove it from the article)
