In peace with Gobelins ?
« on: March 19, 2012, 05:29:38 am »

Hello !

My civilization is in peace with Gobelins and Kobolt, how it's possible ? It's strange because some time i have the visit of thief and    
gobelins kidnapper, but no siege at this time(My forteresse 4 years old in the game).
Can i change by myself my relation with Gobelins ?(I want to be in war with them)

Thinks you, and sorry for my bad english. I hope you can understand me xD.

It's possible, though not common, for Dwarf and Goblin civs to be at peace with each other.
Eventually, the goblins should send caravans and diplomats(?) - killing them, especially the diplomats, is usually enough to start a war.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

do they list as peace in the (c) screen or is it just because you had no ambushes or sieges yet?

Yes, the are list as peace in the screen "c", like Humans, elven, kobolt and dwarfs.
The only hostile who attack me it's a Minautore and a Forgotten Beast for the moment. It's not really fun.

so sad, the day when goblins live in peace with the dwarfs. You might as well stop cutting trees to make the elves happy.

Goblins are always hostile (and will send ambushes and sieges), even if they show up as "at peace" in the (c)ivilization screen. The only time they show up as "at war" is if your civilization actually declared war on them during worldgen.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Ok, but they never make ambush or siege, just send one or two Thief.

This will probably change, just give it some time. In the meanwhile, build up your fortress's value.

Sometimes you can live at peace for years before even the first ambush comes. DonŽt get too careless, sooner or later youŽll get a siege.

They are just mad at you for misspelling their names. They hate it when you do that. It makes them think you don't really care. They won't come out to play until you get their names right.
