[Mohreb el Yasim]

can goblins be tamed with a change of raws? i would be happy to have an army of wargoblins to deffend my fortress.... or to combat in arenas against other goblins ...

[mizipzor]

Maybe. But from what Ive heard, after an entity has tasted the dwarven blood, they will always attack all dwarves on sight, tamed or not.

[Tormy]

Yep its possible to make them tameable with modding.

[Demonic Gophers]

You could even buy some on embark, if you set them up right.

You could just use cage traps instead of a military then.

[Eita]

What about the ones that have multiple names?

[Laghed]

Can someone explain how to tame goblins?

Awesome, then when you have a goblin army, the goblins will get a taste of combating their allies. Then you notice that goblin civs fall apart from attacking their entity members. Don't know if that is an accurate idea about goblin vs. goblin combat, though.

Funny quote from the last time this showed up

I'm pretty sure you can't tame intelligent beings.<P>Oh, and invaders are always hostile, even if you do tame them. I learned that the hard way with some Beak Dogs modded to be tamable.

<P>I´m not always sure if goblins should be classified as intelligent 

Goblins are incredibly intelligent by Dwarf Fortress standards.  Unlike our bearded charges, they don't run headlong at dragons, magma, zombie camels, or giant spiders just because there was a shoe next to them.  Goblins happily run away as soon as two or three of their number get killed.<P>In this world, they're veritable geniuses.

Seems like your quote boxes are inside-out...
