there was once a kobold raid in my 40d fort that caused a flame demon to light the ground on fire and then promptly die in it.

I have yet to have a kobold ambush/siege.

This fortress is next to a kobold civilization. Hopefully, some kobolds will come.

Kobolds recently savd my fort by sending theives.
These theives died.
There stuff was traded for much need supplies.
Almost no-one died. Except for the guy who died of thirst, in a fortress made of Ice.

Just had a goblin siege. Entire squad of goblin bow-goblins emptied their quivers on two kobold thieves.  :D

I've had horrible trouble with kobolds on my latest fort. When I say trouble, I mean hardly any. Theye get spotted ASAP and any goblin baby snatchers are killed straight away with traps. I sent my archers after one but they had run out of bolts training. They smashed his head in with their bows and left him on the side of a mountain, brutal.

Anyway, one managed to steal 25 silver bolts [Left by a migrant with low hunting that dropped it straight away at the edge of the map] and then next thing I know I get a siege. Composed entirely of lashers except one elk bird and one maceman. My archers [This time loaded] picked a few off from the walls and they ran away.

I LOVE GOBLINS!

i tend to think of Kobold in two ways: 1. as skulking filth trying to steal things (a la tax collector) 2. cute small goblins with yellow eyes and orange skin.

This is my favorite representation of Kobolds. Found this in one of the art threads. Not sure who drew it.

Set up a sealable outer wall that none of your dwarves go outside of (containing a big outdoor area for outdoor activities between itself and your underground entrance). When a thief gets spotted (inside the wall as no dwarves go outside it), seal the wall, blocking the thief's escape, making them militia fodder.

If you want kobold ambushes, just let them steal your stuff... after they steal so much they will see you as weak and attack.

Exerpt from townbrush.txt by Internet Kraken:

"Nobody wants to live in Townbrush, and for good reason. Almost everyone that has come to Townbrush has been eaten, stabbed, crushed, drowned, hacked, incinerated, or beaten to death with an octopre skin backpack. When we're not under siege, we're being attacked by Forgotten Beasts. And when we're not being attacked by Forgotten Beasts, there's probably a zombie whale crushing someone to death in the dining room."

They always manage to stab my favorite animals. Always fatally.

Give cats natural metallic armor and throw them in your danger room.  Also allow their mouth and tail to grasp (shield in mouth, weapon in tail xD)  Have a cat based military.  You know, do the same with all tame animals xD send in the cats as shock troops to disrupt the archers
