And the elves are pissed i tried to give them wood (apparently)*snicker* :P
Huh, I thought civilizations could make peace with goblins? If it's possible then it's really rare though. I know that I've seen a town where goblins lived peacefully together with humans, but that might be something else, I'm not sure. Can someone more experienced shed some light on this?Cultural assimilation through conquest.
or the opposite. I have had Goblin Kings and generals in a dwarven civilisation before......... Also, that civilisation, literally half of my migrants termed out to be escapees from goblin slavery.Technically, those are descendants of goblins or whomever conquered and assimilated by dwarves. Dwarves are pretty open-minded about choosing monarchs once the royal bloodline is dead.
So when they come, they will come in big numbers. Not good. My fortress stands on a metamorphic surface layer, so the best weapon material I can possibly get by mining is copper. I hoped I could mow down a couple of ambusher squads with my marksmen and harvest the iron my steel industry needs from the goblins before tshtf. Time to create a more swarm oriented defence concept. And build a few dozen coffins in advance.can't you just, I dunno, make traps? Enormous corkscrews, spiked balls, discs, weapon traps?
