OH GOD WHAT
« on: November 13, 2010, 03:48:48 am »
So... I'm on adventurer mode, slicing my way through a few night creatures, on my way to ending a cyclops with my group of 12 people, I notice it's getting close to nighttime. I crash outside a human house
I wake up
I see...

KOBOLDS EVERYWHERE!
Has anyone else experienced something like this? There's DOZENS of the little guys all over the place.

is it just me, or are the kobolds way more militarised?

Kobolds act in a similar manner as goblins do, meaning they'll attack you from time to time when you're near their territory.

Chances are that house is near or in Kobold Territory (as well as human)  I've ran into  k ambushes sleeping in the wild, haven't tried sleeping outside in a town yet.

That explains it!

They also seem to be a bit tougher in adventurer mode, my squad of 12 got reduced to 5 in a pretty small amount of time.
Has anyone else noticed this change in toughness? or is it just due to some lucky rolls in combat?

Town=Screwed.

Well, actually the kobolds go down pretty quick to a two-handed sword...
Time to save a town! That should net you some epic brownie points!

I got ambushed several times by kobolds on my old, sadly perished, character! They're great fun to kill! >:D

Yeah, kobolds have grown some larger balls and started ambushing adventurers. My last adventurer got ambushed a few times by the little buggers, with only one casulaty to the 5-man party (adventurer included) caused by a bowman arriving at the wrong (or right, depends on your viewpoint) time. They're also the easiest opponents I've encountered so far. The adventurer hit with almost every attack, and considering that I was aiming for the head... yeah. The ambushes weren't all that successful.

It's because all those adventurers allow kobolds to steal the small pebbles around them. It emboldens them kobolds so much that they feel the need to launch attacks.

Yeah, I noticed that their heads are pretty easy to hit, maybe due to high? I was playing a human, I got seperated from my guys by the ambush, plowed through the little buggers with some halberd to head action.

Was playing a dwarf and still got them with almost every attack. Was using a variety of spears, a steel spear being the best.

Hmm... speaking of weapons, what effect does material v.s. quality have in this version? For example, would a no-quality steel short sword be better than a +Bronze Short Sword+?

No, Toady still hasn't implemented height, just random opportunities.

That would take extensive Arena Mode testing, and everyone is too busy gouging eyes and re-enacting scenes from 1970s British comedies.

Actually arena mode tests cannot satisfy this because we can't have quality modifiers to arena items. Material superiority effects are well documented, but not quality effects.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

All I know is that kobold ambushes are everywhere.  I go on a quest to kill a marsh titan and on the way i get ambushed 5 times during the day.  The damn things are everywhere.

I don't think I've ever seen Kobold's during an adventure. I feel like I'm missing out  :(
