Author Topic: Quick question about knowing whether or not goblins will come  (Read 484 times)

I'm in whatever the most recent version is other than DF 2010 and I haven't played in a while so I just want to know whether or not goblins will come. I think I checked before embarking and that goblins were in the "neighbouring civs" thing. When I hit 'c' in game it doesn't show a goblin civ though, just kobold, dwarf, and elf. All I've had so far is kobold thieves and dwarf/elf caravans, does the absence of goblins or humans from that civ list mean they will never come, or does it just mean they haven't so far and might in the future?

I'd just be pissed if I made this sick fort and no goblins are even going to bother coming.

I don't believe goblins will be listed in your civ list until they arrive.  Same with elves/humans/kobolds until you encounter them for the first time.

So, if goblins are in the area, they should arrive sooner or later.  It always seems to happen after your military has been laid low by threats from the deep...

Do you always look at it in ASCII?

You get used to it, I don't even see the ASCII.  All I see is blacksmith, miner, goblin.
