just a thought and maybe someone has already expiremented with this..

if you add the [BABY_SNATCHER] tag to dwarfs, will your own civ have snatched in history?  Will this result in non dwarf nobility coming to live with you?

[socially_inept_butterfly]

Yes, you will have dwarves snatching babies in the history.

Getting a non-dwarf noble is a lot less unlikely and may happen...but it might not.
It can also happen if the dwarve's conquer a nation of different species during worldgen as well.

On a tangental note, is babysnatching also part of civilization ethics? What if you give one both [BABY_SNATCHER] and (Babysnatching): Unthinkable? Do they just not babysnatch but have them available as a job, or only get angry when THEIR kids get snatched in a humorous display of hypocrisy?

I'm not sure.
I believe the goblins think that they're saving lost children when they babysnatch. So the dwarves should think the same.
Also, I'm not sure there is a babysnatching ethic. Slavery might count, but I'm not sure.

I'm pretty sure it's slavery.  One gobbo fort I found had a bunch of human slaves.  They were all children.

Slavery relates to taking captives when you win.
Babysnatcher is a different matter.

Ah, I see. Pity, it sounded like it would be amusing.

Sorry for the presumption, the idea was like third-hand after hearing that disagreements over "babysnatching" were the main source of conflicts between dwarves and goblins.
