Why is everyone so peaceful?
« on: July 26, 2014, 01:21:09 am »

Goblins, humans, and dwarves are coexisting- which is very sad when i wanted to run a 10k year world and see who was last standing... Is there a way to restore the racial hatred that used to pervade these archaic worlds? :D

If the world is 10,000 years old then the reason for that is probably because one civilisation has conquered and assimilated a load of other civilisations and their races are all living together under one rule. Culturally they're identical.

It's only up to about 400 years- and i don't see any ruins, or sites changing ownership. Also, as an adventurer, when i stroll into a town overrun with goblins, i don't have any issues with violence till i start lopping heads.

That's not an issue thats a solution.

Goblins are pussies. I just waltzed right into a dark fortress, lopped off like 6 heads, and everyone was too busy cowering in fear in the corners from my blade of PURIFYING HATRED to fight back, so i grabbed one and started wrestling him

on the other hand, this fortress is notably lacking in soldiers, so i may have just killed women and children and fish cleaners...oh well

That would be boring in anything.

On the plus side, they managed to kill off 20+ children

On the other hand, I've had a scenario where I wasn't the one starting the violence - one of my crossbowmen allies started shooting at a goblin crossbowman in a market.
Whichever one of the two it was, they're smart enough to incapacitate the rangers first.

I more meant world peace and total acceptance of the difference in others. Without all that fun slaughter, clashing of wildly varying cultures and overt racism that makes those fun DF wars happen
