What Is It?Hard mode, put simply. As the name implies, this mod's purpose is to play as Kobolds instead of the usual Dwarves, with a few tweaks and additions to fit the way kobolds play. The biggest difference is that there is virtually no mining of stone, the kobolds are only capable of digging through soil for shelter, and are much more reliant on outdoor production, especially for wood. With these limitations, Kobold Camp is essentially a lower powered DF, with much a much weaker civilization.
There are a few additions that ease the difficulty. Kobolds can farm wood and make leather beds, and so there isn't necessarily a horrible lack of wood.
Also, caravans even with other kobolds will have metal ores and other valuables, and they are able to use and forge gems and bars.
Lastly, as traditional with kobolds, they have a good ability with mechanics and traps. Which is almost a necessity in many cases, as it is much more difficult to raise a kobold military competent enough to fight off a siege.
Why Is It? It's hard, you'll probably not last through your first seige, and kobolds like dying more than dwarves. Settling next to so much as an alligator will mean bad news for your camp. Yet if you pass all this, if you manage to get a thriving camp/warren going with the cute little things meandering about their business, it all feels quite rewarding over a dwarven instant-pass to invincible-fort.
