Rise of The Kobolds
« on: July 20, 2014, 10:25:15 am »

I wasn't aware that Kobold civs could even start a war or have ownership of a town. I'll look in legends later, but for now this is a little out there.

This is 40.03 btw.

Yeah, I've seen a few of these since 40.01 . It's a human town that the kobolds took over. I've also seen Kobold Forest Retreats, Kobold Pits, Kobold Fortresses, and Kobold Dark Fortresses.

They're pretty rare (I've just done a lot of worldgen experimenting :) ). I've never seen a kobold civ actually go to war - I think they take over sites if a kobold kills the last resident.

Don't forget the whole insurrections thing also. Being small, they most likely fail but that won't stop them.

Usually when you go look at those sites in more detail through legends, you'll find it's "owned" by a kobold bandit gang. What happens is something killed all the other residents, so all that remains are the thieves and outcasts.

Given the upgrades Kobolds get from Kobold Kamp, I wonder if the Cutebolds would fare better than the vanilla Kobolds.

I'm heavily tempted to modify the Raws to make a Kobold Fortress.  And then go adventuring for the glory of said fortress.

But I'm afraid I dunno how.

I'm sure there's someone who has already done that over in the mods section.
