Reversed roles. poor kobolds.
« on: May 12, 2012, 12:33:51 am »

Here is the tale of Luthi Boottrample the Veiled Glove of Chastity: starting a stadard axe demi god I managed to wrack up a few kills before getting a quest to take out a group of trogs in a cave. heading south my companion and I begin to trek some mountains to reach our goal. After dispatching the trogs with ease and extreme prejudice I notice a cave Icon in the top left navigator thing. grinning at the possibility of Fun I start to hike westward. I find a cavern down inhabited by kobolds, so many goddamn kobolds! I manage to fight my way down to the main caverns raking up roughly eighty kills.
The list:

All was well until I dodged off a ledge into more kobolds than I could count. I... Think I just acted as a megabeast would to dwarves, I kinda felt bad hacking down wave after wave of civilian kobolds. By my understanding I ran into a kobold camp, this surprised me as I was under the impression only humans had towns, but I guess it makes sense as caves are random gen. Anyone else ran into these before?

There are (Human) towns, (Human) keeps, (neutral, but mostly human) necromancer towers and (kobold, most certainly) caves.

As of yet, there are no mountainhalls, goblin obsidian towers of doom and phail and elven forests of more phail.

So yeah, those are the locations in the world, as of now. I sure hope I didn't forget others.

I dunno, actually. That's what I read when I was wiki-hopping a few months back, and I haven't played 40d.

Might be slade, but slade is indestructable. Then again, we have constructed slade (or was it smoothened) walls underground, containing shaped candy.

I dont think slade even existed back when goblin towers existed, so yeah, they were built of obsidian.
and i doubt i want to see goblins living in tower built of stone that even dwarves cant mine.

Edit. Oh Jesus Christ, Necro would be proud. The second horse in the caravan came in and immediately caught on fire. I looked into his inventory and found a burning pig tail fiber bag. Curious, I looked inside.

Kills are not the only factor that denotes the value of an adventure

They were made of rough obsidian. Every inch of them. Slade didn't exist back then, either. HFS back then was a tiny 1-3 story cave with walls of solid obsidian that spawned a group of ~30 demons a floor when you struck them. Dark towers would usually have more than one tower of solid obsidian, most of the time different sizes.

Yeah, solid waves of enemies are generally more !!Fun!! than scattered ambushes and camps.

Well, we could put two and two together and write a book: "The Shit that Hans and Max Did: You Won't Believe This Shit."
He's fucking with us.

Would be nice if we could retire our forts. Would be also nice if underground roads were brought back too.

This is Dwarf Fortress. Where torture, enslavement, and murder are not only tolerable hobbies, but considered dwarfdatory.
