Ok, so here is what I want to know. I'm sick of cutting through any siege that comes at me like magma through butter; goblin, human, elven, what have you. But I love this fort more then my non-existent children. I can handle the fact that my good dwarves are all Legendary in combat, but even when I send in the rookies, there are no casualties. I don't want to downgrade their armor because I don't want to deal with losing several and then having to deal with a migrant wave.

What I want are injuries. Not necessarily crippling, but goddammit they should be able to break the skin. I WANT SCARS ON MY DWARVES!!

The question: How do I get goblins to wield steel shit without having to regen the game?

I remember reading that kobolds will come with all kinds of steel crap if you let them steal enough valuables, but what is the number?

make the humans siege you.

Mod iron to have the stats of steel.

You can also mod the goblins to make them stronger. For example, increase their size, copy the DRAGONFIREBREATH from dragons, give them wings, etc.

Also, because we now have creature-innate skills, goblins can be modded to be ninja-like dodgers and legendary swordsmasters as well.

Train the gobbos. Drop them into a pit that is a danger room. After a year or so, they will be skilled and deadly killers. If they are lashers and you don't have shields, prepare for some casualties. Also, only engage them on a narrow bridge, that way your dwarves will often fall off. I just use some of fortress defense plus some of my own stuff.

This.  Mercilessly slaughter every non-bearded caravan that comes your way.  Cut down every tree.  Offer the elves wooden crowns.  Get two seiges a year!

For real fun? Fixed that for you.
Iron and wood is fine, but try going up against steel.

You can't go to war with the dwarves...

[Max White]

I could of sworn you could, if you annoyed them enough. Maybe I'm thinking of a mod or old release, but I know I have had dwarfs pounding on my front gate, chanting 'Blood for the blood god!'

[thedude72]

So I can't get them to use steel at all?

And for the record, i cut through the humans too

Max White, you might of had multiple dwarven civs and your civ was at war with that one.  I dunno.  I do know that killing all caravans will make you have a loyalty cascade, and your dwarves will kill eachother.

Dwarf civs will never go to war with players playing dwarves.

Max was probably attacked by baby-snatched dwarves allied with the goblins.

Na, they were all dwarfs, Autem too. I'm thinking it must have been a mod, as I have tried several that I liked that have multiple dwarf entitys.

Make goblin blood a horrible flesh eating toxin or something that only affects dwarfs.
