Kobold tower
« on: May 12, 2020, 07:19:15 pm »

While genning a world, one of the necromancer towers on the map changed from purple to light grey during history gen.Examining it, it is a kobold tower.
Will this mean there is a kobold necromancer?

I sincerely hope so. You could export legends data and then use Legends Viewer to find out.

It means the necromancer was defeated in some battle or other, the Tower was abandoned and kobolds moved in later. They do that a lot.

I am surprised to even see kobolds. I don't think I've seen them in the past 5 years of DF.
I think they tend to go extinct in worldgen 90% of the time?

In my worlds there tend to be a few of them, but rarely within range, and even if they are, they usually don't show up (I had them in range in my latest fortress, but it suffered from raid corruption before I even started raiding...).

Have you actually checked the populations? They're rare to meet in fortress mode, as each civ only tends to build one site so after a few have been wiped out in a single megabeast attack the chances of embarking near them is much reduced. But most worlds, even in vanilla settings, still have them.
