Hehehe in adventure mode i found a cave filled to the brim with kobolds.   

AWWWW BLESS EM.

The leader had a copper short sword and MASTERWORK PANTS ( Bad-ass. Excuse the pun. )

Anyway their awesome fortress of deth mostly consists of: Them sitting around all day not talking with tons of crap surrounding them. Yeah that kobold leader's copper short sword sure made me think twice about messing with him: http://www.mkv25.net/dfma/movie-1355-koboldmegafortressofwtfpwnage

Well i guess there is just one question. Why the hell are THERE SO GOD DAMN MANY OF THEM?
All i see is: k k k k k k K K!... Them Chosen Warriors with Beak Dogs and full keen plate better watch themselves or the kobolds will mess them up with their copper daggers.

Because Armok loves you.

Pfft; that's not alot.

You should gen a world to the year ~10,000 and go find a Kobold Cave. If you find a long-running one it'll be wall-to-wall kobolds 2 and 3 deep throughout the whole thing.


If you're particulary sadistic; i can give you my Hobgoblins (small red goblins that breed faster than Orcs and use wooden weapons; not very dangerous but very fast and prone to siegeing you constantly, making them an excellent annoyance.) and you can try genning a world that long; i got to 4000 and went an found a Hobgoblin retreat; according to ledgends it had 100,000 Hobgoblins in it.

So not going there.

I've only got one thing to say to that.

All I know are that hobgoblins are stronger, smarter, and are more of an annoyance.

Kobolds deserve better than that, they need a cave to dwell in!

I was disappointed at the lack of carnage in that recording.

Why do the words "Total map collapse" spring to mind?

"The Noob"?

Interestingly enough the original Hobgoblin myth puts them as smaller, weaker and trickier Goblins. Tolkien made an error in his first run of LotR and called his super-goblins Hobgoblins. He later renamed them Uruks when he realised his error, but by that point it was too late; Hobgoblins had universally been accepted into the 'standard' High Fantasy settings as bigger, meaner and often more military minded Goblins.


Since DF has cannibalistic hardcore Elves (as opposed to the usual magicey High Elves or pansy Wood Elves) i felt it was appropriate to return Hobgoblins to their roots as smaller, faster and more annoying Goblins.

Plus i already have Orcs for 'bigger, meaner and stronger Goblins"

for some reason it reminded me of generika adventures, a webcomic based on neverwinter nights.

It was Tolkein who generated the "Tall, graceful protectors of the forest" mythos of elves. Before him, they were small, mischievous creatures more akin to imps (which were not demonic) and fairies (which are not friendly, but rarely malicious).

Yeah, fairies.  Lot's of fun.  Take anything that isn't bolted down, right?  (OH look, cloth! grab)

As long as they stay away from my bars, gems and bauxite I won't mind.

[zchris13]

OH! SHINY!
