they should worship all the special sites on the embark. Im currently trying to locate a cave without kobolds in it with adventure mode, cause they wont appear even if you check the yes param.

how did you get them able to use copper in the craft workshop? that would be worth gening a new world for the site.

I was thinking it was going to be succession and then when that meets its end, i think I will have enough time to wright a Community kamp.

[PTTG??]

So, will this be a community fort or succession game? I vote succession. Also, if we're having a volcano of any sort I vote the 'bolds worship it. (Edit) Same goes for HFS I suggest a vertical incision from above that they can toss living things into.

I like the way you think. For world-gen convenience, I think that worshiping the volcano may be enough. The HFS can go or stay. I can very easily picture Kobolds dumping victims into the throat of the Magma God.

How do you all build your camps generally? I usually do the 2x2 huts as you see in the picture(14wood), other times I make 1x1 Mounds  (10wood) I once made a pyramid type hotel that housed 25 bolds in 3 block rooms on 3 levels.

I like the Idea of the training chamber, you would want you other kobolds to be fairly busy to give the trainee a nice amount of time to learn.

I like to build a large building that serves as a dining hall and storage of essentials, with workshops - food, bones, leather, kitchens, carver's workshops, leatherworks, etcetera. For living, there's smaller buildings with 1x1 bedrooms made of beds, plus at least one communal barracks.

[Cles]

I go for an utterly bizarre main hall with tiny treehouse-like bits branching off it into the air (to serve as lookout posts and tiny barracks), and a cellar for storage which is otherwise like AbuDhabi does. Then I surround it with something akin to Japanese strip houses for the other 'bolds and as makeshift walls. I like them to be able to access the rooftops easily from the inside of their buildings. Also, I generally go for two different wells, one for the main hall and one for the outside (in case I need to lockdown all of my 'bolds inside for any mirriad of reasons.) And if I'm feeling creative I make little escape routes out of each room sealed up with a wooden floor tile, each of the tunnels leading into the main hall's cellar and under the carp look-out tower.

neat, again about making copper items at the craftbold shop...

otherwise i think I'll just make a copper anvil they can grab at embark.

[DracoGriffin]

I'd suggest this reaction for a granite anvil (some of the first anvils were made of stone; primarily granite). Takes 3 blocks of granite to make 1 granite anvil. Seems a bit more 'boldy to use granite anvil than a copper one.

problem is that requires furnace operator... I suppose that would be fine as long as there is no wood burning.

[DracoGriffin]

Dwarf Foreman, Manager or Therapist make a beautiful assistance when making temporary "RP" changes.

Merely set a worker to the skill using the above tools and do what you need then remove the skill.

edit: I forgot to mention you can also add/remove professions to the Kobold entity file on the fly without regens if you prefer that way.

[Bloogonis]

It finally worked, not sure why but now its showing me Caves, I will start scouting promising sites momentarily.

[The Doctor]

Oddly enough, viewing caves is an option on World Gen. So it's not in the Init.

[Cles]

Oh, sorry Bloogonis, I was going to answer you but got distracted with the kamp-building question. You know that tag that Obsidian has? [SHARP] or something, I believe. I simply slapped that onto materials like flint and copper ore and was able to make shortswords at the craftbold's workshop. Now, this was a while ago, so I'm not 100% sure if that was all that it took to make it work.

[Deon]

Any weapon which has CAN_STONE may be crafted out of any SHARP rock, in craftsman workshop, so you're right.

[Cles]

Clubs, axes and shortswords then? Maybe even the shovels/picks?

[Deon]

Add CAN_STONE, and it's possible.

As far as I remember, there were no picks in the earlier versions. Is it still like that?
