Does this work for Goblins too?

Toady,
My biggest question is: Can we expect dwarves and elves to get settelments any time soon ? Like before Christmas or by the end of the year ?

Provided you don't mind them being copies of human settlements, you can have them right now by modding entity_defaults.txt to CITY instead of TREE_CITY or CAVE_DETAILED.

Right now, I (a human) walked in on an elven town and they were treating me like a criminal so I obliged their perceptions: ignored all the wooden goods on display and went straight for the shop coffers and took all their (metal) coins - after killing the shopkeeper of course.

=D Awsome new release

Toady > Notch
I'm still curious about something though: I noticed that with aiming strikes, all that matters is where you strike, and not how you strike. Is this a bug, or a simple case of Not Yet Implemented?

Are you sure? In my experience, weapon skill makes strikes of a given difficulty more likely to succeed. So an adventurer with 'dabbling hammerdwarf' but 'great speardwarf' would be far more likely to succeed with a spear strike to the head than with a hammer strike to the head, even though both would be listed as 'difficult' (in an 'objective' sense - a piece of piano music might be easy to a professional concert pianist, but still be considered fairly difficult).

Maybe that's not what you meant... I do think it should be easier to stamp on someone's foot than to punch them there; I don't know how much more calculation that would require, though...

Here's what I'm referring to, specifically:

I think the aiming is more of an indicator of how far away that part is or how close it is to their shield, as I typically seem to have most difficult shots blocked and dodged, rather than missed.

VPellen, despite it displaying like that, you are still more likely to hit with a weapon you have great skill with, than with a weapon you don't.

And I have seen, once or twice, my axe strikes showing 'easier strike' while my shield bash et al show 'normal strike'. It doesn't show up often. I'll screenshot it next time.

Yes, and I've personally witnessed it work for kobolds too.

With kobolds do you need to remove the local_banditry tag? I was of the impression that this made everyone hate you.

I was thinking the same thing. Anyone know if you kill all of the goblins in a town, does anything in legends really change? Like will that town be recorded as destroyed or something?

Down, down, to Goblin-Town
You go, my lad!
Ho-ho, my lad.

Mission Objective: rescue little brother from the goblin king.

I quite agree. It's getting kind of depressing still playing 0.31.12 while everyone else gets to have fun with the new stuff.
