Go to raws, increase the startoff amount.


If you change kobolds from say, 100 to 1000, they get 1000 people at the VERY first second of worldgen.

Are you sure?  I don't see any raw flags...

I believe he is referring to the tag START_GROUP_NUMBER, which isn't there by default. You'd have to add it in. Each number represents a breeding pair so [START_GROUP_NUMBER:1000] would be 2000 kobolds, or it's supposed to, I tested the tag for something unrelated a few days ago and it didn't seem to function, but it might be worth a try.

You crazy person.

I tried, it appears to be depreciated.  Generated a world with no more kobolds than usual.  Namely, 60 kobolds between 5 kobold civs.  The start_group was set at 250.

Try to give kobolds an edge, make them able to mine metals and make better weapons/armor.
I think they may be able to survive better then.

Hmff. Well I'm doing some experimenting with the world generation and the entity raws now fors youse. I'll let you know if anything turns up.

KOBOLD DOMINATION

Ftfy

It was a 2 year world, no one died.  And it appears I misread.  There's 669 living kobolds, which is ~133 per civ, though looking at the legends viewer, each cave has 110 or less.  Curious.

I have just done some extensive testing on just about everything I could think of. Sadly it's brought me to the conclusion that no matter what you do there's no real way to increase the amount of kobolds which will inhabit a cave beyond what we already see.

It must be to do with the site, because the moment I altered them to use cities instead of caves their population went through the roof and I had 150,000 kobolds in the world who had out-populated everyone else.

Sadly, I imagine that defeats the point for you since you just wanted more kobolds in their default setting, in which case I can't help you, nothing else works.

I'm sorry.

Is there a way to force them to siege?

Entity_default - Kobolds

What if you increased the unique sites? Wouldn't this increase the number of dark towers, mountain homes, forest retreat, and thus caves?

[Girlinhat]

It would increase the number of caves, but not the population of each cave.

I wonder if you tweaked their reproduction rate to be insanely high?

I've tried that, and it works just fine when they're not living in a cave. But in a cave? No effect.

I think at the minute that if you want more than the couple of hundred you can get normally you're going to have to make them reproduce in-game as opposed to in world gen.

It depresses me how much effort I have put into trying to create MORE kobolds. It goes against everything I stand for.
