Exports and Imports from Goblins and Kobolds
« on: September 19, 2008, 05:54:01 am »

I was on the civ screen, and looking at the exports and imports screen from different civs.
"The Familial Seduction" Goblins
Exports to Sazirdeler: Terror
Offerings from Sazirdeler: Vengeance

"Srableelis" Kobolds
Exports to Sazirdeler: Petty Annoyance
Offerings from Sazirdeler: Death

Anyone else noticed this?

It should probably read: 

Exports to Sazirdeler:  Babies

and

Exports to Srableelis: {(narrow giant cave spider silk glove)}s

yeah, it is mostly just a simple and kinda funny description of your relationship with those civs

Not for me, at least. I can't recall ever getting more then one of each civ.

I have 2 elf civs in the civ screen of my current fortress, but no idea why.

My theory is, that it is the civilization of the humans and elves that sometimes accompany the goblins.
Probably they, just as dwarves, were snatched and raised by the goblins and the civilization you see on the civ screen is the civ where they were snatched from.

Of course, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense now, since the Army Arc is supposed to let you negotiate with goblins and all.

Negotiating with kobolds would still be problematic.

You're probably trading with one and at war with the other. At least that was the case with the fort I had that had 2 elf civilizations listed.

I checked the civilization screen again and no wars there, also there weren't any snatched elves coming with goblins ambushes.

Edit: I did a backup of my save and checked the legends. My dwarven civilization isn't at war with any elves, but the human civilization i am trading with is at war with the elven civilization showing at my civ screen. I am trading with the other elven civ, so maybe humans told me about this one?
Btw. The human Guild Representative has 10 pages of elf leather bracelets on her. I checked the legends again and she has 136 kills, every single one is an elf. Before becoming a part of the merchant nobility she was a shopkeeper in a years of 161-190 and she started killing in 162 and stopped in 190, hmm... Maybe all that elves were a robbers trying to rob her shop? ;)

Not only do I have two elf civs on my current game, but if I look at the goblin civ, it seems to be a goblin leader, along with about two squads worth of elves.  Thought that was odd.

Also, you can manufacture vomit at a smelter.  Subsequently removing the smelter spews vomit over a surprising area.
