Friendly Goblins?
« on: July 09, 2014, 09:30:17 am »
Are goblins friendlier in this update? I've encountered several in a city living with humans, and encountered a random band of them but they aren't attacking. is this normal or a bug?

I think it likely depend on the alliance between said civilizations.

Ahhhhhhh. Okie dokie. It just feels weird encountering them and not being attacked/mercilessly slaughtered.

I've had a few cases where a human town was ruled by a goblin. My instincts were to slaughter them on the spot, naturally.

Well now my adventuring band consists of me, a dwarven maceman, a human piker, and a goblin hammerman. I might need to document this.

It seems as if in every dwarf fortress I spawn in with adventure mode, the dwarves have set up trade-agreements with the goblins.
I don't blame them though, they're probably desperate for clothes and armor that actually fit them, to bad goblins have the same problem.

It's a reverse hostage situation, if you kill the snatchers they'll fill your fort with babies.

Back just a few days before DF2014 came out, I was able to recruit a bunch of goblins once I became powerful/murderous enough.
Of course, I could auto-attack them, but it adds to your fame since, unlike other goblins, you get to report their deaths. That last bit applies only to DF2012's final release.
