Make kobolds appear on embark screen.

Does anybody know how to make kobolds appear on the embark screen?, the same part which shows how close other races are and who you are at war with.

Hah I though you meant the embark staring pets list.

Kobold are sneaky creatures, sneakily hiding in caves and refusing to appear on the embark accesibility list. You would have to replace their site type with something other than cave, though this has a number of unwanted sideffects.

Or of course you can check where they are in the legends historical map. Any territory surrounding only a cave is kobold. They also have those funny garbled kobold names.

There's also a mod called "Kobold camp" that replaces dwarves with kobolds, among other things. I'm unsure if it works for DF2010 though.

Dang, I didnt want to have to change how or where kobolds live I just wanted an easy way to tell if there were any left in the world without having to root through legends mode.

You don't have to "root through" Legends mode to get the pops.

1. Go into Legends mode
2. Press p
3. Look in your DF folder.
4. ???
5. Profit.

You can also see the specific caves on the worldmap when you choose an adventurer in Adventurer mode.
Of course, that's in Genesis Mod. You probably can't choose kobold adventurers in vanilla.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

Unless you were to give them [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE], and [ADVENTURER:TIER:4]. Put those in the entity text and you should be good to go. If not, check the error log, that helps.
