For new players of the mod it can be a little a lot overwhelming. Kobolds use completely different tactics then dwarves. Mass slingshots with crappy ammo. Guard Ogres. Tantrum-resistant throw-away infantry. No stone. How do use this, how to play your ragtag band of thieves?

This is the place to ask questions about kobold mode gameplay. You can also post any trick or exploit you discovered here.

[Putnam]

Answering is my pleasure!

[Meph]

Putnam, I have the feeling that all these one-liners of yours, one in each thread, are just your way of saying: Posting to watch.

[Putnam]

Your feeling is correct.

[Gamerlord]

Tip one for new players: caves and mountains are your friends. Good native copper and (if you're lucky) native gold ore. Kobolds can mine these. (Well, last time i played them they did.)

How do these ORC mods and KOBOLD mods work VS a simply enabled [PLAYABLE] tagged civ? Do they use DFhack to load custom versions of the DF exe or file order? I'm just curious is all. I've never figured it out.

[Putnam]

A buncha cool text replacements using metatags such as YESTAIGA.

[Meph]

Yep, its a Visual Basics program that rewrites your raws in specific ways that I hardcoded, using my own set of made up tags. Sounds difficult, is really simple once you see the principle.

Playing as orcs I was sieged by the kobolds, my orcs live in the 1st cave that is also blocked in. A couple of migrants I didn't want to let in destroyed the whole siege, peasants and farmers, no uruks or anything... Will they always be this underpowered? Note that some kobolds had legendary weapon levels.

[Meph]

The kobolds that sieged you where not the kobolds you play in Kobold mode. They have their own race, and can even be attacked by the vanilla kobolds. Just imagine a different clan. And yes, kobolds will always be so weak, thats the point.

Oh ok! I was thinking which one of them was it but I guessed the newer ones. So that's cool, I was hoping you would say that.

[Gamerlord]

Hey, the new version; how long do Henna tatoos last for?

[NeoxDark]

In the quickstart guide it says it lasts one year. Never tested it myself though.

So Ive just started kobold camp and got my first mood. He asked for boulders, how do I get boulders? Trade for them? I collected a bit of clay which I somehow thought would be under boulders (honestly cant remember why though...).

Showmood just gave me the answer that the wanted any boulder btw.
