Gonna start up a little Kobold camp up for people to come and have a gander at. Hopefully it will be something with peoples interest. This is not a tutorial or anything, but I;ll do my best to explain how I am doing things.
As an important Note, I AM planning to turn on picks for the Kobolds, but I plan to only use them for three purposes.
1: Digging in dirt, for simple rooms for my dozens of kobolds,
2: Gain access to clay/sand if not readily available for me.
3: I will embark on a Cave, and within the cave and caverns, I will only dig two things. Gemstones from the walls, as well as, if I manage to find some, Cobaltite.
These are both mostly for roleplay purposes. (personally I think Kobolds should have some limited Digging, but the implementation behind this was shown to be kinda broke in the old Masterwork, and) IF I ever get to that point, I will try and dig a single stairwell down to the deeper caverns, if a link does not already exist. Also, IF I happen to get a migrant to my fort that suits the idea for roleplay purposes, I will allow myself to start digging stone/ore. I will endeavour to make sure Kobolds do not do any of these tasks related to Masonry or the Metal Industry
Anyone that wishes to be one of the brave and the 'bold, feel free to ask and I'll try get to it, (once I start getting migrants in more).
Alright, time for the world gen information!
Our World, is the Everlasting Planets. It has been 50 years since recorded history has begun.
The current populations of the world are as follows
Naga – 1327
Ferric Elves – 782
Succubi – 781
Kobolds – 455
Nagas – 453
Pandashi – 347
Human – 339
Elves – 295
Greater Badgermen – 253
Orcs – 212
Dwarves –207
Beak Wolves –120
Putrid Blendecs – 92
Dark Stranglers – 39
Goblins – 10
Kobolds currently have two civs that are active and thriving. The Slow Ulcers (pop. 299), and the Confidence of Blotting (pop. 103). We are going to be part of the proud civilization of the Slow Ulcers. Let us delve in and see what interesting things have happened in their storied history.
Among our leaders, one stood out in particular, Onana Cresttoasts. He was born in the early year of 7, and led our civilization as chieftain from 11, all the way to the year...45. Seems over the decades there was much suspicion about his apparent agelessness, but thriving under this ruler, few did anything about it. He brought them through two wars with the Naga of the Searing Immortality, fought to a stalemate with heavy losses on both sides. The Slow ulcers won many of the battles, but the Searing Immortality made sure they were hollow victories. However, the venerable Onana Cresttoasts was struck down in the year 45, struck by a Plump Helmet Man of the Searing Immortality.
Hopefully, our new, soon to be settlement, will be able to extend the reach of our tribe far beyond our single meager cave of The Myth of Alliances.
The Field of Voice where I plan to embark is not too bad. I do tend towards the hotter temperatures where I don't have to worry about freezing water sources. A nice cave sits central to our home so we may build around it. Looks like a perfect place to set up our new home. Now we just need to gather our belongings, and set out!
EDIT: Its actually HUMANS that are the settlement beside me...whoops.
Now, it is time to head out. Onwards, The Abbey of Drawls, towards your new home on the Cave of Friendlygutters.
