Well, my adventure to see the dark fortress Menacedhog started swimmingly. Rolled up a hero speardwarf, just so happened to worship Zukon, the dwarf god responsible for the creation of the dark fortress Menacedhog. Went traveling in the direction of Menacedhog until it got close to nighttime. Decided to stay in a local mountainhome for the night to avoid the bogeys.
I get inside, and there's all these dwarves and goblins in the trade depot, yeah? So I take a couple steps, and suddenly everyone is fleeing and fighting for their lives. Several goblins and dwarves start beating up a child. Others scramble towards the walls of the fort entrance and scrabble vainly in an effort to climb them in a mad attempt to flee the hostilities. There's countless dwarves and goblins listed as hostile to me. Everyone is a civilian of some kind. Guess there's a loyalty cascade or something in the progress.
I shout out at everyone to "cease these pointless hostilities!" and the only one to respond is the child, who's still getting the crap beat out of him by dwarves and goblins. He spits at me and responds "Never!"
So, not wanting to meticulously talk every single dwarf and goblin out of their hostility, I decide to chalk it all up as an insurrection brought on by goblins and start slaying every dwarf and goblin listed as hostile. 27 kills later, the fort entrance is full of blood and corpses and I call it a day and go to sleep with a new title as "Muthkat Lightplank the Symmetric Pattern of Disembowlers."
Adventure mode alignment seems kinda screwy.
Yeah, I had a similar thing starting as a human, except that the dwarves were hostile to me, and goblins friendly. Looking in legemds, human and dwarf civs weren't fighting. Nice title.
