Damn peaceful goblins!
« on: December 11, 2008, 12:50:39 pm »
After my fortress was already developed, I noticed I had forgot the DIPLOMAT tag on goblins. I'm already at 96 population, and not even one ambush or siege has appeared even though goblins can access my fort. Not even the diplomat I could kill to piss them off. They're still at peace with me.

Will they ever attack or send that damned diplomat? Can I piss off the humans to attack instead by killing their liaison with dwarf companion? I really am pissed off by this, as I've worked on this above ground fortress for many, many hours already. And this happened with my previous fortress aswell, it went to waste because I coudln't get sieges and got bored to hell. Anyone know how? Is it possible to modify the save file somehow?

There's NOTHING more annoying than getting a siege-dead fortress.

Close DF, go into the RAWs, add the Tag, reload DF.

As far as I know, that'll send the goblin diplomat.

Are you sure that will work? Do I need the count/countess to receive diplomats by the way?

The dwarven liason is a diplomat, so I'd say no.

But I don't know if it'll work or not. But it might, and there's no real downside, so might as well.

If you want no peace, at all, go find Rysith's orcs.

I know I advocate them too much but they really are the solution for war-hungry players.

I managed to get one, just one goblin ambush.. but I'm already at 142 dwarves and not even one siege yet :(

Orcs? Hmm, I might have to check that out. But I'd have to create a new fortress and world, once again. Many days work into waste.
