No gobbos in Civilization list
« on: April 20, 2009, 11:31:03 pm »

I embarked into a desert, and at this site, under the embark "neighbour" list thing I saw goblins, dwarves, humans, and elves. Goblins and elves had little red dashes next to their name.


Now, in the game, when I go to the civilization screen, I only see dwarves. Does this mean I will not get sieges?

Civilizations only show up on that screen after you've made contact with them. After you see a kobold thief, the kobold civilization will show up. Same for ambushes/goblin snatches and elven funeral processions.

The civ screen only lists civs you've met in-game. Don't worry, they'll all show up eventually, and the gobs and elves are at war with you.

Toady, how much of DF is inspired by Labyrinth? Is Armok actually David Bowie? Because that would simultaneously be disturbing and awesome.

Awesome! Thanks for the quick replies, I was worried I'd have to restart my fort. I found a great place where I'm going to flood a huge pit/shaft in a desert with water, then build bridges connecting rooms in the sides of the pit together with sealed off and clear-glass-windowed walkways, with a big staircase leading up the center of the pit, and a drawbridge at the top with a massive marksdwarf tower to shoot down at goblins.

If I had to find a new spot and start all over I'd probably kill myself.

please post a map of your fort once it's up and running - it sounds IMMENSE!

Awesome.
