Uhh...Guys?
« on: February 13, 2010, 02:24:21 am »

I found elves AND goblins living together, peacefully, in a goblin tower. Their children are playing together, no prisoners of the other race...nothing. Did I embark into elves attacking and somehow made them friendly?

Abandon everything you're doing, close the game, delete the save, and walk away.

There may be a more serious infection in the world you've generated. The only answer is to flood the world with magma, or remove it from existence.

There is nothing out of the ordinary going on here.

The goblins snatched some baby elves, the elves grew up and became members of the goblin's civ. Happens all the time.

Maybe descendents of babysnatched from years ago?

EDIT:  Beat me to it.

Yeah, the goblins kind of suck in this version.  When I want to fight goblins in adventure mode I go back to the last version, where there were no armed companions and the goblins were evil.

In fact, this is pretty much what Threetoe's latest story is about.

When Cacame was first discovered, the cry went up to drown him in magma for daring to be king as a pansy elf. Had it happened, the world would have lost a great badass. Play the world, you may find an epic story.

Wise words, Heliomance. Wise words.

the collapsing part is good but you miss something,
1.Collapse building
2.Pour magma over it
3.Pour water over it
4.Mine out the obsidian
5.Atom Crush the obsidian
6.Let the dwarves bleed,puke,muddy,water and miasma over the atom crushed ground
7.Make a floor over it and designate it as a forbidden area NO MATTER WHAT
8. ???
9.Profit!

Yikes, the Orcs have a nasty language.  Traditional foreplay would be right out for them; how would they ever "say my name" for one another?  No wonder Ocrs are always so bloodthirsty and violent, they're getting sub-par action.
