^ My sentiments exactly.

At what point was the were elk knocked out?
It wasn't: those combat logs are taken from the individual's being highlighted, rather than from the werebeasts log. Those all-blue logs all come from the second half of the fight, where it was knocked down after being hit in the head by Wordyevil's great axe and distracted by shredding Ago the Beak Dog.


So that was fun! I'm trying to get both Shofet and Arstruk out of the hospital before they become werebeasts. Arstruk wasn't a problem and I've already locked him in a small room, but Shofet is taking forever to heal.

Water is more urgent than ever, so I'm trying to get the well finished. Unfortunately, everyone's wounds were cleaned with murky water, so there's a good possiblity we may yet lose Darx or Quox to infection. Other than that, we've reached winter. I'll try to finish up tomorrow: I'd hoped to put everyone to training for the last month or two, but this attack threw me for a loop.

Unfortunately they're not butchering the wereelk, even though it's in the refuse pile next to the butcher shop and I've queued up a "butcher a dead animal" job. This makes me very sad.

Youse lot 've all heard the stories, right? Talk of the monster what lives up in the mountains! Ana Gearedwinter, the hoary thunder of whips. Half elf, half elk. An elfk!



They say 'e's immortal, and has lived since the dawn of time! They say 'e tears men to shreds and decorates 'is antlers with their entrails! They say 'e's killed nine in 'is lust for murder! They say he specifically targets goblins, like us, cos he was originally Turned by one!



An now 'e's comin', right down the mountain straight for us! But youse know wot I say, right? I say, y' can eat elk! Tastes like venison. So's I say, if it comes our way, we's finds out for ourselves what wereelk tastes like! Right? RIGHT!

Everyone to the staging grounds! We'se gonna have us an elkfunt... an elfkunt... ekfunt... elephant? GODDAMMT STOP LAUGHIN'. Youse all know wot we's doin! We's gonna hunt an elk wot is also an elf!




Aw shit, Nako and Ngebzo are still up where we been mining out the cliff?



Forget the staging ground then, we've gotta get up there! We's missin' all the action!




That sounded like Nako's screamin'! Get yer arses in gear! Move, move!




Ngebzo?


Quox



Shit. It's gone quiet up there. That's a cryin' shame that is.

"Cos dey're dead?"

Cos they're dead an' we didn't get to see how they died! Wot if one of em died in a really funny way, an' we missed it? I'm tellin' ya, we'll get up there, an' one of 'em will have this dumb look on 'is dead face, like "I died in a way you would have loved to have seen, and now ya never will". Those douchebags.

"I... guess?"

Tell you what, if it gets youse, you make sure youse die in a way that makes for a really funny story next drinkin' night, okay? Like, pissin' yer pants or screamin' like a little baby-

"Oi, boss. More recruits incoming. An' they gots kids with 'em, too."

What're the idiots finkin? What use're their kids gonna be in a war camp?

"I dunno. Siege ammo?"

An how we's gonna get enuff meat to feed a bunch o' kids out 'ere anyway? Bloody hell. Worse than useless, that's what this is.




What the hell's goin on over there? Aw shit, is one o' the newbies startin' fights already?



Oi, Shul-nak, Stosbub! What the hell do you you pair o' ogre's testes think yer doin'?



Stop it! I SAID STOP-



Oh that's not good. Stosbub, get the fuk outta here. No, shuddup, I don't care what 'e said to ya.

Oi, Shul-nak? Shul-nak, you alive? Wake up yer bag o' bones, you can't die yet. Everyone else here is a shit carpenter!



Do you need me to drag your sorry arse to the hospital room?



No? You can make it yerself? Alright, good, 'cause I have other important matters to see to.




OOC

So... apparently goblins spontaneously become enraged and start fights, even when they're reasonable happy? And seek out the currently most-valuable dwarf in the fortress to do so?

That'll be entertaining!


Oi, Nix! Youse a butcher, you know what the inside of animals looks like, right?

"Yeah?"

Go see if you can help Shul-nak. He was coffin' blood last time I seens 'im.


Youse know what? I reckon we's done enough grunt work fer now. Us seven's gonna start trainin' fer killin' dwarves now an' let the newbies pick up the slack.


THE FUK IS THAT THING?



... and can we's eat it?


OOC:

IN THE FIRST YEAR? IT'S NOT EVEN WINTER YET!

So now we get to find out what happens when 23 completely untrained goblins (and 2 trolls) with the bare minimum of equipment (leather and bone armours, with a few iron helms. They do at least have iron weapons) take on a wereelk. Taking bets!

Yeah, sorry Shofet: I tried Dwarf Therapist, DFHack, etc... can't find any way to rename trolls. Looks like you'll may just have to settle for a gobbo.


"D'ya think maybe the trolls got a little carried away with buildin' shit?"



Yeah, I wash gonna schtop 'em, but theys just looked sho fukkin' haaaappy lugging all that wood around the plashe. An it's such a perrrfect construction. So there'll be plenty o' rooms for any reinforshements Master Gozru shendsour way, at least.


Oi, yoush lot. Check out me workshop trench! I got Shacntume to dig it out fer me.



I got the idea while I was pished after last nights gorrilla feast! Dis way, we'se don't have to walk very far to get stuff, 'cos it's all right here in the trench wit us.



Sho, I been drinking nuttin but booze for... like... ever. Months. I think maybe thems dwarfs are onto shomfing? It's gotten to the point where I don't even notishe it anymore.



An' I'm coming up with all these great idea,s recently! Like, what if the Trade depo had a dwarbridge? Made of iron? WITH SPIKES?



SHO FUKKIN METAL.

But de odders are lookin' a bit worse fer wareing... thing... pukey. Like theys gonna puke. All the time. Wot are we dwarves? Puking our faces in other peeples faces? We don't do that.

Oh, I think I'm gonna nail it to the door o' the new dining room for now.



"Um... why?"

Supply caravan! Aw shit, we needs a trade depot. An' somethin' ta trade! Vuoh, still got those mountain goat hooves? We's can make some shit outta those, right?


Well, we got a stock o' meat an' some leather off the caravan, plus a few copper weapons and a helm. I think we did arright.


"Oi! Reinforcements!"

What we got here? Fresh meat? Arright, what're you lot good for?



A mason, a brewer, a tanner an a rookie wit' some crossbow experience.

Arright youse sorry pile o' filth an grime, we's here! The dwarfs are just over that hill, so let's stay quiet an' get to work, an if I hear any whinin', Rupdeus can hit you with 'is lash. We's gotta get set up or we's meat.

Darx, I want you cuttin' trees. Drop as many of 'em you can, we'll need the wood. Shul-nak, make us some beds, an' get the trolls to build some shacks ta sleep in.

Sanctume, grab that pick an' make yerself useful. Dig a bunch o' trenches, maybe cut some of the granite out of the mountain so we's can build forges.

Nix, gather up some plants an' brew us some booze. I don't like the look o' that water, an' besides, this place'll look better drunk.

Once we all done that, then we's can all go lookin' for some fresh meat, okay? But not before!




Meat! C',mon, let's go you giant louses! We's got an enormous terrifying beast to kill! Whose wit me?!




HAHA! I'SE STRANGLED THE WEASEL SO HARD IT'S HEAD NEARLY POPPED OFF!



"Oi you guys! Vuohijumala found better meat!"

Wot you mean 'e found better meat? You sayin' there's summit wrong with my weasel? Eh?

"Yeah, et's shit!"

Oh that's it you soddin' pile of wank! Nobody insults my weasel an' gets away wit it! Come on, I'll take ya!

"Hah! Bring it!"

"Will you guys shut up an' get over here? This goats beatin' the shit out o' Vuoh!"



Okay, that sounds hilarious. Raincheck to go watch Vuoh beat up by a goat?

Alright! Looks like we's signing up with The Plague of Modesty and Gozru the fire-breathing mousedemon. Glory to Gozru! Embark commences.



The expedition group is The First Scourge, which I assume means theys gonna send lots of other scourges as backup, and totally not that they assume we's all gonna die within the year an' they's gonna have to send replacements.

May the dwarves of the world quake in fear of the incredible intelligence, competence and sheer handsomeness of the goblin race- pffff hahahaahaaah! Oh man. We're all gonna die.

I like the multicultural Plague.

Do demons immigrate to new capitols like dwarven monarchy?
No clue, but it's possible.
         
We don't have any landholder positions (baron/count/duke) nor an outpost liason to offer them, but from what I can guess from the raws, becoming the capitol works on a different system entirely. It may be hardcoded. If that's the case, the master and their generals may move to our camp if we fulfill the requirements.
         
I could easily be completely wrong about this, though.

So I generated a rather interesting world and scouted a decent looking embark site.

We’ve got a tract of scorching broadleaf forest scarily close to a 3x3 that I’m pretty sure is a fortress entrance, and we’re surrounded on all sides by the dwarves hillocks. Theoretically the Elves and Humans can reach us too.



As far as the world goes, there are 4 elven civilisations, 3 human ones, and only 1 dwarven. All of those dwarven sites belong to the same scary-big civilisation.

As far as goblins go, we've got 4 to pick from. They are quite varied:

Quote
The Vice of Savants

11,986 goblins +278 kidnappees, 31 sites. Comes from the border of the southern glacier. Closely allied with The Green Dungeon (shared territory).

A moderately-large goblin civilisation, 2.3% historical figures. Has the scariest master all: Gulsheb Skullwaste sphalerite web-slinger. Gulsheb would probably be even scarier if they weren't a giant bunnyman, but still: a warrior demon.

Soldiers of the demon Gulsheb Skullwaste the Lustful Louse
- A towering rabbit twisted into humanoid form composed of sphalerite. It has a gaunt appearance. Beware it's webs! Associated with Disease, death and blight.

Quote
The Green Dungeon

12,246 goblins +319 kidnappees, 21 sites. Comes from the border of the southern glacier. Closely allied with The Vice of Savants (shared territory).

Another moderately large civilisation, 2.6% historical figures. The complete opposite of it's twin Gulsheb: Utes Flickerbronze is a fragile trickster, a lizard made of snow.
       
Protectors of the demon Utes Flickerbronze the Youth of Mirroring
    - A gigantic lizard twisted into humanoid form composed of snow. It undulates rythmically. Utes was associated with twilight, treachery, lies, dusk and the dawn.

Quote
The Plague of Modesty
       
15,817 goblins +1198 kidnappees, 41 sites. They come from the west, and their territory stretches from glacier to equator. Overlords of the Fed Hell (shared territory).

The biggest goblin civilisation in the world. 7% of their population are historical figures's, which may mean more kidnapped non-goblins in the camp when migrants start arriving. Their master is a fire breathing weremouse that chants ceaselessly.

Servitors of the demon Gozru Subtleknot the Ruthless Riddle
    - A great mouse twisted into humanoid form with lidless eyes. It chants ceaselessly. It's lilac hair is short and even. Beware it's fire! Associated with trickery and lies.

Quote
The Fed Hell
       
4,894 goblins +171 kidnappees, 15 sites. They come from the temperate north-west. Second-class citizens of The Plague of Modesty (shared territory).

The underdog. Small, 3.5% historical's, and barely a third the size of anyone else around, and effectively swallowed up by the Plague of Modesty. Their master has poisonous vapors and is associated with
nightmares, so I assume they're more into sabotage and guerilla warfare.

Followers of the demon Zutshosh Wrungmartyr the Mysterious Eel
- A great feathered skink twisted into humanoid form. It has a gaunt appearance. It's feathers are downy. Beware it's poisonous vapors! Associated with Nightmares.

Good news and bad news.

The good news is, the mod is ready for embark. I'll find us a good site tomorrow.

The bad news is, the goblins won't butcher or process the components of friendly or local sapients. So cannibalism is off the table, literally. There is a weird exception in that you can order live trolls slaughtered (they won't butcher dead ones), but that just creates loads of unusable troll bits so I don't recommend it.

I can't get dfhack to spawn an enemy dwarf, either, so we'll be going in blind as far as butcherable sapients goes.  Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't: it should do according to everything I've read, but we'll have to wait and see.

Still playing around with the mod, but it's coming together. It should definitely be ready for an embark soon. And the LNP has been upgraded to 42.04! Just in time: many thanks to PeridexisErrant.
         
         
As far as goblin domestic animals go: if it's got hair it's shearable, and if it's a mammal it's milkable. This is exactly as gross as it sounds.

Well alright, slightly less gross than that because I'm making an exception for trolls. But still pretty gross. Giant rat cheese, anyone?
         
         
Bone furniture is now a thing: I've added most stuff including doors, thrones, tables, weapon racks and armour stands. They all use bone bars in their construction. Notable things I decided not to include are boxes, cabinets, beds or statues.
         
I've also added:
         
* skull goblets - made from totems
* meat statues
* bone large daggers

If your adding in blind cave ogres, I'd like to be one instead.
I'll be embarking with two ordinary trolls: everything else will need to be bought from the caravan, and I've upped their pet value, so we'll have to pay a premium.

I just realised I have no idea if I can customize a troll's names (might be a DFHack job)

Quote from: Tehsapper on January 13, 2016, 03:18:29 am
Also, can furniture can be made out of bones or those bone bars?
Not yet, but that's a good idea.

Quote
Will those bone bars and meat blocks retain the name of the creature they were made of - are they just 'bone bars' or 'dwarf bone bars'? Because dwarf bone thrones are important for a well-functioning goblin fortress.
The bars show up as "Beak dog bone", which becomes "Beak dog bone wall" or "Beak dog bone Vertical Bars".

And I can do you one better for the meat blocks: they depend on what type of meat goes into their construction, so you can get "Beak dog muscle" "Beak dog nervous tissue" "Beak dog brain"...

Quote
Can you mass pit sentients?

No idea, have never tried.

I found another change I want to make to the mod: adding [COMMON_DOMESTIC] tags to a variety of evil and subterranian creatures to guarantee we can trade the goblin caravan for them.
         
Since almost all the goblin animals are far more impressive than llama's and pigs, I may also have to amp up their pet values to make them cost a reasonable amount at trade time. I may even make some of them shearable/milkable...

I think I'll keep which ones I mess with a secret, but they should certainly add to the fun.

Well we could just use the honor system to only impale whole corpses.
We'll have to. It's just annoying, 'cause  it can mean scrolling through dozens of pages of "stray beak dog cartilage" and "stray troll fur" in order to reach the mangled skunk corpse you're trying to nail to the wall.

Quote
How about engrave / encrust a skull and impale it? Would that be possible?
Well, I can make skull totems buildable, that should give us the ability to... uh.. build skull totems. So I'll add that.

Leather and meat blocks are working, as are bone bars. You get approximately 3 bone bars, 3 meat blocks and 6 leather tent blocks from a single beak dog, so they're not cheap. If you want to build a meat-based megastructure, it's going to take a lot of death.

If you buy leather off of the caravan, leather tents are well within the realm of possibility (although wood shacks will always be easier to build). You can also make leather bedrolls, just in case you want to sleep on the skins of your enemies.

And, can confirm: goblins can butcher sentients (specifically, trolls).

Speaking of, trolls are actually a really interesting feature. Tame trolls will store stuff in stockpiles (and, being so strong, they are great at hauling stone) and bring water to the wounded and jailed. They can also be added to the military, but only if there's a commanding goblin. And they can wield large weapons that your goblins can't, like great axes and two handed swords (and yes, goblins can make those).
