... how sad. Silly little fluffy devils.

[thijser]

Well there have been some people who observed that an egg box outside allows them to breed. So if you embark in year 2 and feed them regularly you can save them.

[rephikul]

just add [NO_EAT] [NO_DRINK] to those buggers

I go through my legends and I find like fifty kobold civs still alive, well after year 100. And I've done no modding. Is it just not telling me they are dead?

[rephikul]

export your legend and see if there are any caves with actual kobolds in it.

[Zeranamu]

Good point. Many of them just say they are established, and that's the end of that. Maybe they all do die..although some had to of lived, because I've received the 'Protect the hoard!' msg as well as the 'Protect the children!', which afaik means I got both kobold and goblin thieves.

[Bouchart]

Would the lack of kobolds have anything to do with the fact that they lay eggs?

It has something to do with the fact that, as a raiding civ, they cant feed themselves properly during world gen as of now.

A save the kobolds campaign so we can slaughter them later?

[Khift]

...weird, I had a pack of kobolds show up in my .31.19 fort (genned to year 399). Actually, show up is the wrong term for it; they were already there, and I was the one showing up. Made for an interesting embark.

[Jeoshua]

I, too, have had no problems with Kobolds.  Sure, they along with many other creatures seem to die in large numbers in early worldgen... but I have a game that I ran to the year 1850 and the legends xml was still saying things about kobolds stealing things until just 5 years before the worldgen stopped.  They're not as frequent as in times past, but then again maybe they shouldn't be.

[Qinetix]

actually i managed to embark on a kobold civilization... somewhere at the 50 year

Much better idea.

[Marshall Burns]

It doesn't surprise me, really. I've thwarted every kobold thief that has ever shown up at any of my forts. They need to be better thieves. The buzzards and macaques are better at stealing than kobolds are.

They are the pigeons of DF. You're supposed to drop crumbs for them or they'll starve.
