My first time coming to these forums, I look forward to making my own stories to share.

What better way to get acclimatized than by sharing something interesting I found.



The year is 1050, after world-gen. With the exception of Kobolds there is an abundance of civilized being in equal measure, each with their own civilization.

There are current 2349 goblins in the world today. Of that, there are only 5 actually part of the Goblin Civilization.

There are no longer any goblin attacks anywhere, they were defeated not by military conflict or extinction, but by emigrating to other civilizations.

Really makes me think about what goblin culture should be like now they're part of the human/dwarven realms.

Haha. You know, I've always considered goblin civilization to be the most racially tolerant of the main entities. You tend to find all kinds in a goblin civ due to all the babysnatching going on. Goblins may be many things, but racist ain't one of them.

Oh I don't supposed I can ask while I'm here, trying to set a forum avatar but my profile settings keep defaulting back to No Avatar, how do I can it proper?

Exactly what I've been trying, hasn't worked.

Edit: Yessss, it didn't like the 's' after 'http', thanks anyway!

[Paxiecrunchle]

Very interesting.

Tbh I don't believe this is as uncommon as people think.

Goblins usually swell to massive sizes if they spawn on glaciers (makes them inaccessible to other civs IIRC) or if they manage to win many wars in worldgen.

I've often enjoyed switching the "Slade Tower" FUN to the Animal People instead of the Goblins.  The Gobs just do their thing, backstabbing eachother and babysnatching and whatnot, but each demon gets to claim a single race of animal people instead.  It makes for some interesting divergence, because the Evil Gopher People and the Evil Lovebird People have discernible histories now in Legends mode.  Although, my worlds modded like tis often crash after only a hundred years or so of playing them, so I'm betting it's not healthy for the game to do so.

ooh,

is that a volcano on a glacier--or more accurately a glacier on a volcano?

that sounds like a really fun embark

do you have a save of the world before your first embark?

This is actually explicit in the raws; goblins have naturally high TOLERANT personality values.  However, they also have the highest HATE_PROPENSITY and CRUELTY, so it's less "tolerant of other races" and more "hates everyone equally".

Indeed I do, but I'm not sure how to attach saves to posts yet.

[Enemy post]

Have you uploaded the save anywhere, like DFFD or Dropbox? If so, you could just post the URL here, or do it like this. Quote my post to see how I did it.

I hope this works.
