"The goblin is embracing the dwarf"
« on: April 09, 2012, 10:03:33 pm »



Obviously once this artifact was made, I deleted the save, formatted my hard drive, threw my computer into the washing machine, and then burned down my house.  My cat, iPhone, and I are sitting outside the ashes of 22 Dewberry Street and wondering: have you ever seen goblins and dwarves make peace during worldgen?  And how long does it last?

In my experience, it usually lasts ~2 years.

And this validates my thesis that we live in the matrix

Haven't seen it personally but it's been known to happen. If you happen to embark during a period of peace, you'll supposedly get goblin caravans.

You'll never get goblin caravans without modding as the [BABYSNATCHER] tag forces them to be hostile.  If your own civ is a [BABYSNATCHER] then you may or may not get goblin caravans, every single season.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

You'll get an elf and a goblin caravan in the spring, a human and goblin in the summer, a dwarf and goblin in the fall, and goblins in the winter.  Each caravan arrives separate, and uses the same trade depot.  When trading, you're prompted to choose which civilization/race to trade with.

I attempted to mod in ~10 animal people as a different version of fortress defense mod.  I accidentally made them friendly, and had 10 caravans show up at once.  My FPS hemorrhaged so fast that I had my first ever non-error crash.

the primary reason goblins are only active in winter in my goblin fortress mod.  it's a hassle dealing with all of those caravans.  and the damn abduction messages you get as they take their own caged trolls off the map.  i had to make trolls naked because otherwise announcements was WAAYYY too spammed as each item of troll clothing generated a "stolen" announcement as well.

There are no words to express how utterly disgusting this is.

lies kodkod.  this is a thing of beauty.  the goblins and dwarves cease their amusing petty bickering to unite against the true threat.  urist and snodub proceed to the serious business of handling "the elf situation" once and for all.

Goblin kidnappers are basically just garbagemen.
