I just recieved a goblin caravan. Consider me confused.
« on: July 20, 2012, 11:51:13 pm »
For some reason, I just recived a Goblin Caravan  :o. The wares they have mostly consist of various goblinite products.

My question is, can dwarven civilizations actually make peace with goblin ones, or is this a bug?

They can, but it's rare because the civilization ethics are so different.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

It'd happen slightly more often if goblins weren't [CHILD_RESCUERS]
I'll agree, this is the first time I've heard of it since... A long time.

How long is world-gen? This is very odd. My civ isn't even at war with the goblins, but that hasn't stopped them. Current war is listed as not having a cause, and coincides with the start of my fort. I assumed from that that goblins always attacked. Wait and see if you get snatchers.

You should be able to select the fort's children on the trading screen. :P

This shouldn't be happening--[BABYSNATCHER], so far as I've seen, makes it so that they will be always hostile to you, regardless of wars or anything like that.

Putnam, is it possible that this civ has never stolen a child from this particular dwarven civ?

That might explain the peace. It was definitely possible, albeit incredibly rare for it to happen to players.

No babies snatched or "hostile activities" conducted = No loyalty cascade = No war between two conflicting civs

Its not a bug or anything, this is 100% intentional.

It's possible for sure, just rare [/wikiexpert]

If it was a caravan from a certain old modded goblin fort that shall not be named then probably 'personal' entertainment items.

I just realized two things. 1. For the Win and F___ the World have the same initials. 2. They have the same meaning in Dwarf Fortress.
