Kobolds are faster than dwarves with poor Agility, or too much armour.

fixed that for ya.

[martinuzz]

From what I've seen, sometimes dwarves will kill kobolds on their own (I've had miners and woodcutters exchange blows with the kobolds before I could react, usually crippling or killing them).

When the kobold attacks (probably because the dwarf in question is in the way of it's escape route), civilians can defend themselves (counterstrike). They will not attack first though.

And indeed, Albedo, you're right. Armor / clothing / carried stuff slows dwarves down. Kobolds only have 2 pieces of clothing and a dagger, so they won't be slowed much by that.

[Albedo]

A dwarf can carry quite a bit and not be slowed down - clothing, certainly, or even leather armor and a basic weapon.  Metal armor, or even just a metal crossbow and bolts, starts to slow down a dwarf who has not improved the Strong attribute - but a kobold is still faster than a dwarf with no Agility, even at top speed.

I think they're about as fast as an Agile dwarf, but a Very Agile can just catch them.

(And they're not as fast as a bolt from that crossbow.)
