I don't know if you CAN war Kobs.

But I think it's more that elves get wood and gobs, etc. get iron...

They siege you if they manage to steal a lot of stuff. Honestly, Ive never seen it, and I think that your fortress design/defense must be structurally backwards if this happens by accident (or you forget about your wagon).

I've had it happen after they steal a bunch of stuff from corpses and dead caravans outside my walls.

Ive never gotten kobolds anytime later than first autumn, usually before any caravans show up. After that, I never see them again, just goblin snatchers and ambushes

you know, there's a book where a guy is his own mother and father... The Man Who Folded Himself.

its not bad actually.

[Fault]

well, look what I found in my most recent fort's civ file...



 I checked her info on the legends screen. In addition to fighting a titan, She's also a grandmother.

Does this mean I'll get all her offspring if she migrates to my fort?

guess I better download Dwarf Companion so she doesn't wander off and die...

EDIT: DL'd dwarf companion. Holy mittens, how exactly did you alter Cacame to make him a functional member of your civ?

Shes female, you should get Deon to draw her.

Suffice to say that I do not want to see Deon's take on an ancient goblin grandmother

Just find some Queen Elizabeth picture and shade it green, I say.

[Holy Mittens]

Awesome. High five, Fault! You're probably the awesomenest person for it to happen to.

I never did get Cacame to become a "functional" member of society. The best I was able to do was get him to pick up a weapon and shield and then hang around in the dining hall.

To get your queen to come inside and hang around with the rest of your society, change her civilization tag to the same as your dwarves. Currently, she'll be set to the parent civ, but not the fort civ (though your fort is considered part of the same civ as your parent civ, they have different civ tags so that it can differentiate between the caravan and actual members of your fort. The tag doesn't get changed when non-dwarven nobles come). She'll come inside the fort and hang out in your meeting areas. She won't make any friends unless you kidnap some goblins and turn them into members of your civ.

To make her pick up weapons, you'll need to temporarily turn her into a dwarf, change her profession to a peasant, and then activate her. She'll go grab any weapon or shield you assign her, but she won't put on any armor. Then you turn her back into a queen and a goblin again and she'll go on carrying around her weapons.

I'd love to see her legends sheet.

[Holy Mittens]

Also, I think she looks like this:

Something else funny I just noticed. She has a Dwarven name. But there are clearly goblins in the civ who retain goblin names (Ngokang is a common goblin name).

Any chance you could post the world gen parameters (and upload the raws if you've done any modding) so those of us interested can get a look at the world?

[Fault]

yeah the naming is a bit odd. I think she was born after the dwarves conquered her civ, and thus was given a dwarven name, while everything that existed before the dwarven conquest (including towns and buildings) retained its goblin name.

I'll see if I can get the parameters on that DF file repository, although my DF raw folder is very heavily modded. (other civs, experimental creatures, new plants and metals...)

[Holy Mittens]

Yeah, my Cacame fort is heavily modded too. Zipping up the raw folder would be cool if you don't mind.

[Fault]

OKAY, I GOT THIS

download link here

I hope it works, I included all the raws (objects and graphics) as well as all the necessary init and parameter data. (I also included my tileset, as my raw definitions will cause display problems without it)

(Ngokang is a common goblin name).

another reason I think ngokang is a goblin: Dwarven Civs don't usually have high priests.

you jinxed it, sensei. Now that's going to happen. I hope you're happy.

[Naresomez]

Took the entire day, but finally finished the most epic thread I've laid eyes one. Somewhat depressing, when comparing it to my DF history... My forts rarely make it past 2 years, and nothing interesting happens outside of a random tantrum  spiral. -_-

[Holy Mittens]

It doesn't appear to be working for me. Which version of 40d are you using?

[Fault]

I think about 40d11-14.

I haven't changed my 40d version in a long while.

Do mind that gobbos are immortal.
