ok, so i set up a good defense to stop them from stealling my stuff (guard dogs) but umm, yea when ever i catch them and sent my military and the dogs after him, he runs and goes like so fast, hes 2X faster than my dog and faster than a deer o.O so is that normal and how do i counteract it?

[Garath]

normal, yes. Fast little buggers. They don't have anything worth chasing though

[NTJedi]

If you really really want the little kobolds build walls with a gate outside your fortress... when the kobold is spotted close the gate and send your archer types at him.

I've usually managed to kill them by having 1 sentry at the main entrance. Presumably, the kobold manages to sneak past him, but it bumps into another dwarf later on. When he tries to run out of the fortress, the sentry stabs him in the eye with an iron spear.

Marksdwarfs and big cats. A lever that deconstructs floor grates covering your entrance works for me - though I normally reserve it for trapping sieges

-snip, wrong thread-

[targetstar]

found a way, i just extended my walkway, so when he bumps into my guard dogs at the front he will run awary and get caught between the traps i place out (mostly cage)

[Myrmec]

kobold thieves have trapavoid don't they?  I've never been able to cage one

kobold thieves have trapavoid don't they?  I've never been able to cage one

Normally yes

I thought this was about a river dam named in honor of kobolds.


Are kobolds trap immune? If you control the access route to your fortput cage / weapon traps somewhat distant from your watch dogs, when the turn and run back towards traps they would, theoretically spring them.

thats what the frekisly long hallway is for... and to trap and people i don't like >.>

Kobolds are treated like creatures sneaking in adventure mode. If they get spotted, they run to a spot that is not in line of sight of the creature that detected them, then will begin sneaking. Ambush skill. As they flee from the spotter, any traps they avoided while sneaking in are now waiting for them. With trapavoid 2, creatures are immune to traps, unless webbing is liberally applied.
 Similar to healthy dwarves avoiding cage and weapon traps. No problems unless they are injured, and try to stagger their way past them

[targetstar]

are they immune to atom smash? i have 3 bridges connect to a lever (that is my nobel job to handle) and i can just order him to push it repedily im pretty sure one of them will get him >.<

[Fredd]

Yup, you should wind up with a kobold pancake

Kitty penned in a 1x1 activity zone on a pressure plate.  When spooked, plate raises pulling closed the retractable drawbridge.  Until the kitty returns to her pen there is no exit for Mr. Kobold.  Knutor
