Not to belabor the point too much, but I'm not sure these kobolds really fit the game's style. I don't really see kobolds as living outside of natural formations and actually building wooden settlements; after all, if they could do that, they would be in the game proper.

But, hey, if they aren't supposed to be like vanilla DF kobolds then that's fine too. The silly images are also a plus.

Party Hearty Kobold

The pressing question is, where did he steal them from?

They could be cave-dwellers, but right now the game only generates occupied, monster-filled caves. A lot of people have successfully managed cave-dwelling anyway, though. It's a conceit of the game. Lacking that, shanty huts are the next best thing for primitive, tribal dwellings.

The way you draw them, they seem like under-sized crocodiles with fur. And giant eyes. And a thing for freaky sex.

Everything has a thing for freaky sex.

Even freaky sex has a thing for freaky sex.


... Although, the amount of sexual stuff in DF IS alarmingly high. I think Toadys trying to tell us something.

I understand, but I'm not sure primitive human dwellings and primitive kobold dwellings should be the same thing. I mean, not even primitive human "cavemen" lived in caves, really. I think it's more an inherent difference between the two species.

The game's yours to change as you see fit... most of us have some self-imposed limitations on digging. If you like, though, you could bend the rule just a bit make your own cave. Simply dig a sufficiently natural-looking cave then swear off digging in rock to modify it any more as the game goes on.

Might just be a sect of kobold.. really.

Worship the sky god so they don't dig or live in caves.

Whatever floats your boat, really.

If you max out cave size, you get a really huge den to run around in.  Spend some time cleaning out the residents in the section you want to set up shop, capture and tame some giant rats or some other useful food-critter, and then just let your little buggers explore the tunnels and get themselves smeared by troglodytes.

Admittedly, workshop space is pretty limited.  But it's still cool.


Also, if you want to dig a natural-looking cave, designate a solid square of rock for digging.  After the miners have run their course for a while, remove the designation.  It looks much better than anything that can be done by hand, trust me.

Damn, I liked kobolds before this thread existed, but now, with those comics... Toady should seriously have a special place on the site just for your stuff.

so very awesome. It might be a couple months till I'm back to my computer, so I really hope when the new version comes out this mod is remade, cause I really want to play. If I need to keep the old version of course, I will.
