Newbie questions (again)
« on: February 12, 2012, 01:45:46 am »

1) Will various cave dwelling ~mans replenish (through migration, for example) over time?
2) Even if I give kobolds [NO EAT][NO DRINK] in raws there's none of them present after worldgen in "neighbors" (but some in legends not too long ago). Why?

1. The various animalman tribes don't repopulate, no. What you have on the map at fort start is what you get.

2. I believe it's the SKULKING tag that kobolds have that makes them not show up on the civ access page. That or it's the fact that they live in caves, I don't remember which exactly. Regardless, that appears to be intended behavior. They don't show up even if there's a half-dozen kobold civs that could theoretically get to you.

Then can I somehow mod animalman invasions like goblin ambushes but only underground?

Also, what parameters are in response for race availability or unavailability in adventurer mode?

You could make an animalman entity that would come as ambushers or sieges, but they'd come exclusively on the surface. It's impossible for any civilized creature to come from the map edges in the caverns.

How?

And also what about my adventurer mode question?

1. Add a child caste. Mess it up and they will breed incredibly quickly and zerg rush your fort. Fun times...
2. There are no parameters, but there are tags that let you adventure as certain creatures.
