Goblins as a playable race?
« on: August 04, 2007, 04:10:00 pm »
Admit it. You want it. They'd be a very interesting counterpart to the dwarves, given that they live in similar dwellings (carved out of cliff faces) and would probably have similar industries. If, perhaps, a bit different. I imagine they would be less refined, and their stonemasons less "artiste"...   :)

Oh that's what I crave for.
I'm always modding stuff in for them!
I love the little guys!
But giving them über katanas was a step too far...
I got the idea from another poster mentioning goblin samurai...

I'm pretty certain there's already a Bloat about this. If not, great idea, I'd love to lead a small goblin tribe.

Yep, Elves, Goblins, Humans must be all playable someday, however the game's title won't be Dwarf Fortress after that point I guess?
Anyways I always wanted to play with an Orc race also.   :)

I see goblins as a replacement for orcs, so I gave all my attention to them as I am a greatest fan of orcs.

There must be more "evil" races. Orcs would be perfect near Goblins for example.

If goblins are unable to build big steam mechas, zeppelins or other kinds of infernal but clunky machines of doom, I won't bother with them. Also, they need to  be able to designate torture rooms and have their own torture workshop where to build all their torture implements and machines. Goblin "nobles" demand it!
