This is mind boggling, because its happened at least 4 times before in prior versions when I play kobolds. After one year of play or so, I get massive FPS hits, for no apparent reason.

The game was even running fine at about 250 when the ice had melted and the river was reflowing back into its proper course.....this is damned maddening!

Have you tried going in Legends mode and look at events that happened in the same timeframe as your freezes ?

By the way, I've been playing a 3 year Kobold Camp, and my tavern is still empty. Can you get visitors as Kobolds ?

[chaosfiend]

The Camp sped back up after about 10 minutes waiting for some strange reason, but I came across some more bugs. The Kiln is not regisering the Greenware cages that I shaped in the shaper, for drying into Fireclay cages, despite being right beside eachother, and not within a stockpile. After a few minutes, it worked itself out.

Please post suggestions for future kobold updates. Once I have enough, I can start working on a big update for them.

- Now that we've got multiple species per civ, would it be possible to make Ogres actual civ members instead of pets?
- Some way of converting larger weapons into "makeshift" weapons that is more efficient then melting down bars, but does not retain quality level and are slower and more ungainly then normal weapons.
- Give Air Sign kobolds cat-level climbing skills instead of stealth, because of the massive speed decrease the latter entails.
- A kobold-exclusive alloy[Between iron and steel] created by melding cobaltite with 2-3 random other metal bars and a couple logs of wood.

Old stuff from another thred just to put here as part of suggestions

I love the ideas of them using Totem Skulls almost like grenades of sorts. Doing something like heavily scoring the skull, so that they burst open when thrown, either filled with some sort of Caustic/Sickening toxin, or maybe filled in the skull cavity with biting/stinging vermin, like the Stingchuck from the Pathfinder Roleplaying game. As either a thrown weapon, or perhaps as Catapult Ammo? Something that Kobolds would be able to use from behind their safe walls.

As said before, using them again As Totemhammers would also be a fun thing! You can never have enough traps!

If you can manage it, perhaps give Kobolds some sort of Access to turn looted weapons into Terrible Weapons from LC's Terrible Weapons mod? They can make the weapon smaller, but it's in ways like, simply lopping a large spear in half to use as a small spear, leaving it unbalanced, or crudely lopping the top half of a sharp sword off to make a shorter machete like blade.

I seem to recall that was at least technically in Kobold mode quite a few versions back. The Bombardier workshop was supposed to do that, although I could never get it to work.

The manual claims kobolds can cook live vermin, but I've trapped a few and can't see any way to turn them into delicious kobold snacks.

As far as I remember I did make that reaction but had to discard it because of a DF bug. It does not properly recognize live vermin as reagents.

I keep getting a "No Warren Master?  Curious..." message after one appointed himself.  Am I screwing something up?

The Warren Master is the diplomat that comes with a caravan. Thing is, diplomats stay to enjoy your hospitality for longer in the new DF version instead of just dashing off after finishing the meeting. About a yearish, I think? Could be longer, I dunno. But kobold caravans come twice a year. The second time, the Warren Master can't come with them, because he's already at the fortress. So you get that message telling you that no diplomat came with this caravan.

Buildings that have the same Hotkey, in case it has not been addressed in Kobolds

B – Breeding Warrens & Poison Cookery
S – Soap Maker and Scale Cleaner
I – Juice Bar and Wood Splitting Block

Probably worth considering a glitch - the booze-burner can make coke out of barreled water from the handpump.

- Now that we've got multiple species per civ, would it be possible to make Ogres actual civ members instead of pets?

If you look at the 'slow learner minions' in the [USE_EVIL_CREATURES] tag, they are local, embark only creatures, and are generally best fitted for that purpose, they appear on the livestock but can't be tagged as pets. A 'minion' would probably best suit the role of a ogre as it would a troll (and with some mounting scripting, you could encourage kobolds to saddle up on the backs of ogres because they are livestock). Minions because they belong to you can also be used in reactions for gathering materials off them ([YARN] etc.) like livestock.

Getting a ogre in without a [USE_EVIL_CREATURES] tag could be as easy as buying a renamed slave tool item ("ogre minion") if 'minions' are given their own tool then spawned via create-unit, different tools for specific creatures. Making them civ members doesn't help verify them very much (given that slow learners are limited by design and it clogs up civilian count), and making them pets is redundant and often ethically wrong because of butchering (also given that the proceeds are bugged and wont be eaten/used). Besides holding noble positions or doing crafts, a 'minion' local creature can do anything a civ-member can do.

So yeah. Totally get some ogre tool = create a unit in there as a suggestion for some cheap, slow moving but strong labor and fleshing out the military.

So after playing 1.10 for a while, I like the changes so far.
Caravans come a bit too often to my taste once a year is largely enough, especially if you get other races caravans (white tigermen in my case).

Also, I like how you can assign labors to Ogres (and thus, imo, breaking the Kobold game since they can wield picks) but I think a more fitting role for them would be military. I see them as protectors, not slaves. But you can't assign them to squads.
Do you think it'd be doable to make the game consider they are mercenaries instead of residents ?
