General questions thread
« on: December 08, 2012, 10:58:54 am »

I wonder why there isn't already such a thread.

Anyways, name says it all. A thread for all the little questions so that there isn't a new one for every small problem.

Some questions ahead:

1.I play as a kobold and can interact with humans/elves/dwarves normally at the beginning of the game. I start in a usual hamlet, collect a few quests and followers and approach the first lairs or bandit camps. After a victorious day I return and then every human wants to kill me! I think it has something to do with me being a kobold and then killing humans (bandits). Does this anger the other humans? Can I somehow turn them friendly with changing something in the "entity" code?

2. I am currently using the mod "wanderer's friend" and I wonder if a *lion tooth spear* is better than a copper spear. How do I know which material is better than another one? With the whetstone, I can "hone" stone knifes/axes and bone/tooth spears but are they better than copper weapons?

There used to be such a questions thread, but it seems it got buried several pages ago.

1. Could be an issue with the mod you're playing. The bandits are their own group and not part of a human civ, so that should not be a problem.

2. I'm not familiar with that mod, you should probably ask in that mod's thread if there is one. For vanilla materials check the wiki. In vanilla metals are definitely better than bone and stone.

Actually a general questions thread for adventure mode already exsists. Here's the link:

as a rule metal weapons are better than tooth or bone weapons.
armor is the same.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

I just found out that my Kobold attacks children if I try to crawl under them. He uses his regular auto-attack, perhaps this has something to do witht the [BABYSNATCHER] token...

[BABYSNATCHER] might explain why humans are hostile to you. I don't know too much about modding, but you might have to take that out to get a playable kobold. Also shouldn't only goblins have [BABYSNATCHER]?

You are right, it was the goblins who have the [BABYSNATCHER] token...  :( And I thought I found the mistake.

Kobolds have [ITEM_THIEF] and [SKULKING], I would suspect it's one or both of those that make you hostile.
