Goblins,elves and humans
« on: April 10, 2014, 07:45:46 pm »

So it is well known behavior that goblins kidnap and raise children of other races, but checking legends you will find many (a couple) individuals settling in towns that do not belong to their species. 

IE I just found a goblin who settled in a human town voluntarily, never been a member of a goblin civ who participated in the humans attack of local goblins.  Coincidentally killing the abducted dwarf responsible for murdering the goblins two non-goblin leaders, a demon and an elf.

So, in fort mode these other races will NEVER show up in immigration waves correct?  Is there a work around for that?  More importantly if i modded goblins to be playable would abducted sentients ever arrive?  Will this be fixed in the nesxt release? ty for help

The city/forest retreat/mtn. hall/human town was conquered by that civilization and. That goblin mentioned was born and raised under human rule when his parents home was conquered. And no they will not arrive in migration waves. They will come as refuges/travlers/soldiers traveling through the land.

There might be a workaround, but I wouldn't recommend it, as the game might not register them as being a member of your fort. It only expects dwarves to be members right now
