My bolts! NOOOO!
« on: April 28, 2012, 04:10:00 am »

So I was playing with Kobold Camp, (The only real difference is that you cant dig stone.) and I decided to have a military based fort. As in, everyone outside a few dedicated craftsbolds/carpenters would be drafted into being marksbold, farming when off-duty. So anyway, I embarked with 2 carpenters, a woodcutter, a bowyer/leather worker who would make the arms and armour, a farmer, a wood/bone craftsman and a single, decently trained marksbold. At about autumn of the first year, we were going well. My marksbold was at adept, my woodcutter was legendary (Heavily forested ftw), our craftsbold and with our first immigrant wave we got another 5 soldiers, who I armed. Then we were attacked by about 8 Rhesus Macaques. I sent all 6 soldiers after them, and 1 was killed, the rest fled, only a single splint being stolen. However, the 7 that escaped were FILLED with bolts.

All of them masterwork.

Our craftsbold went from happy to stark raving mad INSTANTLY.

The save is still going strong, I just thought I'd share  a quick story of how one of my own went from being happy to suicidal in seconds.

Elves? pfft, for some reason, I'm at war with EVERY civ!
Do dwarves siege? Oh god I hope they don't bring the magma cannon/HFS with them.

Edit: Also I expected you to be the first to post.

I can only hope the same thing happened to the kobolds who filled my DWARVES with bolts...

That should be a new type of project, making a rug design in dwarf fortress (With accurate coloring)
"And so, after many deaths and much sacrifice, someone turned their fortress into a fully functioning self aware carpet that actively sought after sources of fresh blood."

THE ELVES. WILL. DIE.
I thought you posted around 4 threads about how you love them. ???


I guess he could not handle seeing some enemies run off with his creation stuck in their flesh but would be fine if they shattered on impact.

Do dwarves siege?

In vanilla? No. But they do have [SIEGER], so if you happened to add [CIV_PLAYABLE] to say, humans, elves, goblins or kobolds and embarked on them, and you managed to enrage the Dwarves, every Autumn you would be at risk of sieges with [TRANCES].

Scary stuff. They don't bring candy sadly :(

Only elves come in the first few years soldier. So you have time to ready your super-kobold wrestler army!

We shall rule this land!

I know that, I'm just not familiar with Kobold camp as a mod. I wouldn't know if your Dwarves had [SIEGER] :P

Always assume yes.

Fun fact: Kobold camp's fighting.

A lone wrestler can take out a entire (elven) siege if hes legendary.

Sounds fun.
Also, confirmed that they still have the sieger tag.
A squad of 9 completely unskilled marksbolds and 1 skilled one shooting a raven from across the embark is a hilarious sight.
