I would love nothing more than to have my troops wearing armor adorned in goblin skin when they come charging out of the gates to obliterate the vile scum, bit I haven't been able to find a straight answer as to whether or not there is a tag I can add to do this. I like the thought of goblin roasts too.

Just go to the entitiy_default.txt file and change your dwarfs' ethics to the following:

   [ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_OTHER:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_KILL:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:MAKE_TROPHY_SAME_RACE:APPALLING]
   [ETHIC:MAKE_TROPHY_SAPIENT:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:MAKE_TROPHY_ANIMAL:ACCEPTABLE]

With the added bonus of also being able to skin/eat elves

Goblins already are butcherable. The problem is that dwarves refuse to butcher sapient creatures. This can be changed by altering the entry for dwarves in the entity file. I'm not to familar with modding, but I believe you would want dwarves to have [ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_KILL:ACCEPTABLE] and [ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_OTHER:ACCEPTABLE] in there.

EDIT: Ninjad.

Thank you both for the help. Before I posted i was searching the forums for an answer and read that dwarves get bad thoughts from butchering sapients. Is that so?

[vhappylurker]

I've never noticed any of my dwarfs getting bad thoughts from butchering invaders or even the occasional unfortunate trader. They treat the corpses the same way they treat animal carcasses.

I'm gonna resurrect my own thread as I have run into an issue. I have changed the appropriate tags but my butchers still won't chop up the goblins. Are these changes only applicable upon regenning a new world or is there something that I am missing?

Adding on to this, can one caste have different ethics than the others? I want to make some sort of feral dwarf that feasts on sapient flesh

Entity ethics are loaded when the world is created, so changing the ethics values in the RAW files will have no result on an already created world (no, not even if you remember to change the ones in the world raws rather than the default raws).  You need to regen the world.

No, because ethics are applied to the civilization, not to the creature.

You could mod in a new dwarf civ methinks.

   [ETHIC:MAKE_TROPHY_ANIMAL:ACCEPTABLE]

What does the "make trophy" part do?

I suppose crafts and stuff, basically things you make out of bones.

   [ETHIC:MAKE_TROPHY_SAPIENT:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:MAKE_TROPHY_ANIMAL:ACCEPTABLE]

It allows you to make *goblin skull totems* and other things.
