You removed the [BABYSNATCHER] tag didn't you?

This tag basically hardcodes hostility into them, so they will always be hostile with other civilizations.

I, for one, always try to be at war with the goblins. More FUN!

But for reals, why have peace when you can commit atrocities?

Not necessarily, the green P will show in all cases where the civ isn't actively at war with you.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Nope, since (as i mentioned) they did send a snatcher. That was like, a whole year ago or something. I've stationed dogs at the entrance, though i'm pretty sure that gob's are too dumb to incorporate that in their supremely complex entrance calculations.

@Jordrake: Maybe. But then again, they do make nice goo for lava lamps. Also, we all know that goblins only have one profitable use: Goblinite. :P

Anyhoo, no progress so far. I'm on my laptop right now (can't fall asleep wah wah), so i reckon that at least 15 hours (sleep + school etc) will pass before anything does happen. Meanwhile, i shall think of some clever contraption that combines magma, cave-ins and an angry badger. (i bought a badger from the elves, so i must find a good use for it!)

kobold

One or the other, you cannot have both.
Two words.

...Actually, the first is sufficient and the second just confusing.

Are there any situations where you could have a powerful kobold civilization?

AND/OR

Can you be at peace with a kobold society? Like... meeting with dilpomats and crap?

They're thieves, they don't have diplomats.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

I thought demons could take over them or something.

Is that not the case?

So, let met get this straight. You want to have a meeting with a demon, about trading with kobolds?

Mind posting the seed or save? Since there are some who've been trying to get peaceful gobbos...
