I'm not fully sure I understand what you mean by dorms.  I'll be sure to post a before and after picture of what kind of construction went on during Fall though, so you can see where I'm going in general.

[Aseaheru]

when you denenate a bedroom there is a option for a dormatary. what i mean by dorm is a single bedroom, marked dormatary with several beds in it. all the dwarves, or kobolds in this case use the room. have several of these with 2-4 communal cabinets for clothing. if this room is nice, then it will negate the unhappyness of not having a room to yourself.

I= wall
B= bed
C= cabinet
D= door

While I may eventually end up getting things set up all nicely for the bolds, at the moment their main thing is survival.  Autumn has now passed and Winter has come to test our mettle.

This was actually a pretty big post, so it's not going to be going up today as I'm just not going to have time to get it all together.  Tomorrow though!

[Corai]

Im gonna make my bets now. The camp is gonna die in one of these three ways-


1.Hunters get cocky, bring giant cougers back to camp.

2.Kobolds think the humans are cute, and run to pet them, and get tickled by there bronze poky sticks.

3.Food. Not enough food.


Arent I enthusiastic?

[CaptainKobold]

I don't know if the kobolds could take out regular cougars right now.  As for humans, hopefully we have some time before that mess comes along.  If it does and they hold us siege, we've got food storage underground, but it's not a whole lot and there's not much to do down there.  I may dig a little deeper so I can try to get some stone to engrave in the case of death everywhere.

[Aseaheru]

do so! and make it so that they "discover" a vault!

[Vgray]

I don't suppose we have any hope against Dwarves? Maybe we can hide in the food cave.

[Aseaheru]

or the vault we "find"

[CaptainKobold]

The food cave is pretty much our plan against anything strong and aggressive.  We can handle some of the less-scary bug people, probably a decent amount of non-giant non-carnivorous animals, and MAYBE an elf or two.  With a bit of luck, we can take down a Giant Bird, but it's not something we want to count on.

Dwarves are RIDICULOUSLY scary compared to us.  If we get hit with dwarves, it's food cave until they leave.  We don't stand a chance.  Think of how civilian dwarves do against kobold thieves.

[Splint]

Civilian dwarves with no armor or weapon can bite off a kobold's arm, rip the knife from thier hands, and stab them with said knife.

I know because I;ve been responsible for issueing such to occur.

[caddybear]

Maybe it would be nice if something forced us to live underground for a while.

[Corai]

Remember, the self-imposed realism. You cant do anything until they directly get noticed. Cause were kobolds, we dont have loud-speakers that scream "WERE UNDER ATTACK." the second something arrives.

[Splint]

Dwarven Loudspeakers: Dwarves happen to be able to shout really loudly in a panic.

[CaptainKobold]

Yeah, I'm using self-imposed realism to keep thing interesting.  Admittedly, I more or less know what the 'bolds are capable of and what they aren't, but maybe they're that self aware too!

If humans, goblins, or dwarves attack we will in all likelihood lose between half to all of our soldiers and any civilians who were unlucky enough to be in the general area.

If attacked by elves, I'd say our chances put us losing between a quarter and all of our soldiers with few civilian casualties.

[Splint]

Well, with only a few crude traps and 15 copper armed axe/swordbolds (I won't lie, a tundra titan had a hand in it) and a zerg rush of conscripts i had a camp go down pretty well. Only a few goblins made it out alive and without injury and it only died because only a few pups were left unhurt, while the surviving adults had all been injured.

Kinda sucked for two pups and a legendary armorsmith; they got lit on fire by said tundra titan before the goblins jumped it.
