Rescuing dwarven children
« on: November 08, 2007, 11:16:00 am »

Given goblins' inclination to kidnapping in fortress mode, I'd like to be able to come across caged dwarven (human/elven/etc?) children when exploring their caves in adventure mode. The additional A.I. capabilities coming with the army arc should be enough to allow this, shouldn't they?

good idea, but thats not what happens with the children.  they are raised as the goblins own, and are trained into fierce generals.  they later come back at the head of goblin armies to overthow their former homes.

at least, thats how it worked in the last version.

in any event, youre right that there should be human and dwarf residents of goblin towers.  maybe they would be wandering around instead of being in cages...

Perhaps they would be hostile, but not flagged as such until thay attack you.

errr... I always thought the humans (never saw any other race with the gobbo sieges) were mercenaries.

I figured they ate the children :

this could be a quest from those mayors.
"go to namerandomness, a goblin fort, and rescue human children".

the spinning bb round hits jack johnson, scumbag in the lower body!
it is pierced through entirely!
his right kidney has been poked out!
his liver has been mangled!

jack johnson, raider has been shot and killed.

The above (including bbcode) neatly weighs in at 255 characters. Fallout meets DF

Heh. Half man, half dwarf... That's a mildly disturbing thought, for some reason...
