Bay 12 Games Forum

I remember I had the eyes rot out of my legendary speardwarf once, and it just made him absolutely unstoppable for some reason. He held off the circus with no shield or armor by himself by standing on a pile of living and dead clowns and stabbing them back down the hole. Almost won too, until he fell asleep.

So I genned a pocket world and found there to be no dwarves. Delighting in the challenge, I embarked in a prime spot and found... Kobolds. LOTS of kobolds. And piles of large gems.
This is only half the trove by the way, there are over three and a half pages of kobold civilians. And by civilians I mean they all have knives, or in the case of the hunters, bows and crossbows.

I don't want to abandon, and they're not really harming my settlement, I'm just wondering if this means FBs will be turning up shortly.

Bogeymen.  That is all.

Same here, many an adventurer has ended with his skull being KICKED through his brain. Kicks seem disproportionately strong.

... Wait what? This is crazier than the exposed circus, but not as crazy as the mountains of magma.

I vote you turn the exposed caverns into an above-ground maze with weapon traps that knock gobbos off 555 Z-levels

I notice that whenever a leader is mounted in a siege, the gobbos chill by their entry point harmlessly until they lose interest and leave in a few seasons. I think there's a bug with mounted siegers.

That's the thing, there's bait out (in the form of a chained up dog) and everything, and plenty of openings to my fortress (all heavily trapped) but they just sit there. I even opened the main gates and they're still sitting there.

My last two forts had a simple magma waterfall as a deterrent for siegers. Amusingly, the elves kept trying to run forward while the melted bleeding ones were trying to flee, causing them to lay down in the magma. Ah, fun times... Oh, AND there were magma-proof weapon traps slicing at them the whole time... And cage traps to keep the stragglers from avoiding the magmatic doom.
