Ok, this is my first go at modding anything: I'm trying to create a new race/civilisation, the hobgoblins. Hobgoblins are basically larger goblins and are more human-like (not evil, build cities, etc.).

The problem is I've genned several worlds now and none of them have hobgoblin civilisations, and I can't figure out why.

This is the civilisation code, in entity_default.txt above the Dwarves entry:

They're both modified versions of the goblin entries. Is anything there missing, or has bad luck simply caused all my hobgoblins to die in worldgen?

[mizipzor]

Are hobgoblins mentioned in the legends? If thats the case, they were simply annihilated.
If not, it should be something about it in the logs (i think).

[Inquisitor Saturn]

I think you need to specify how many of that civ start out.

[i2amroy]

I think you need to specify how many of that civ start out.

No, that is covered with the [START_GROUP_NUMBER:] tag. I think that mizipzor is right and that they were just slain in worldgen.

Try that, it's more reasonable. Also limit starting biome to one place, and watch their ethics. They live on human land and their ethics will piss off humans, resulting in their extermination.

[Christes]

It would be cool if you could the last remaining hobgoblin or something like that.

[betamax]

I've not actually noticed any ever existing in history...

However, I'll try out what's been mentioned in this thread, and see if it helps. Hopefully I'll get it so that the hobgoblins wipe out the humans, and not the other way round.
