Is it normal for kobold settlements to be on ice?
« on: November 24, 2010, 06:38:38 pm »

I was on a quest in gensis mod, (After editing in two spells ) Anywase, Thinking it to be the base of the night creature I entered... only to see much object thinking "Oh so she must be old" I then encounter kobolds... Useing my flameing dagger ((Modded in spell)) To diasterous effects....

Is this a normal thing... Or is it a rare occurence.....

If it was on a permanent ice formation (i.e. glacier) then I can see it being possible. If it was on a lake that only freezes during winter or something though, then that's a bit stranger.

I've found two kobold settlements over all of my adventurer games.  Not because they're rare, but because they start out hidden (you can find them by entering a tile next to them on the travel map).  They are caves that lead down to the first cavern layer with random treasure strewn everywhere.  The deeper you go, the more valuable they get, until you reach the hoard at the bottom.  It's pretty easy to clean them out, too, because kobolds are really easy to kill.

Kobolds can only be found in Deon's Genesis mod: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=52988.0

Exerpt from townbrush.txt by Internet Kraken:

"Nobody wants to live in Townbrush, and for good reason. Almost everyone that has come to Townbrush has been eaten, stabbed, crushed, drowned, hacked, incinerated, or beaten to death with an octopre skin backpack. When we're not under siege, we're being attacked by Forgotten Beasts. And when we're not being attacked by Forgotten Beasts, there's probably a zombie whale crushing someone to death in the dining room."

...then I must have been imagining the several hundred I've killed in ambushes in Vanilla DF.

you are quite simply wrong. there are an abundance of kobalds in vanilla. they don't tend to form visible settlements, that is until you settle on their cave, or explore their caves.
