i am pretty sure the dwarf necro that was lawgiver was a necro before being lawgiver.  i say this because he was killed by elves during a battle....  i dont see how he could then leave the goblin civ and become a necromancer after being killed (and eaten).  i will look him up specifically in just a minute and edit this post with more information.

i also have read about the "immortal means no necromancy" thing.  i do not plan on making goblins mortal though.

digging into legends now...

oh, i see now....  he didnt die, he fled.  then became a necro and wrote books for the next 100 years.

i found a bit of stangeness in adventure mode....  a keep was manned by nothing but naked human wrestlers.

ive been looking for a goblin site, but it is tough to find them, being caves now.  it does not help that the elves have taken so much territory.   perhaps next world will not have as much savagery, and therefore less giant dingos to eat my goblin's snatched babies.  no, i'm not exaggerating.  the blasted elves have been doing that.

a cursory look at legends for my newest generated goblin fortress world shows that no one really starves in goblin sites.  this is good.

the goblins have murdererd most of the escaped from the circus clowns running around in worldgen.

elves have a nasty habit of kicking goblin ass in worldgen.  i may have to tone down their birthrate.

goblins dont seem to have any problem living in caves.  it seems that goblin leaders will actually go on animal taming journeys more often, though this could be a feature of the new version.

goblins do not seem to be abducted by night creatures.

only goblin bandits living under human towns seem to get cursed for vampirism and werebeastary.

goblins do not become necomancers, as they are never obscessing over their own mortality.  on the other hand, snatched children of humans and dwarves can become necros in a goblin society.  they can even rise to positions of power.

unfortunately, having a necro law-giver does not help as well in worldgen battles as does having a pet necromancer help ingame.  hopefully toady will change this at some point.

goblin (and other) criminals dont seem to do much in worldgen.

i shall finish looking at legends, then try out some adventurers and then a fortress to see how things work.  any !!science!! or other information pertaining to this mod will be appreciated.

Also kind of hilarious if you think about. Just imagine a mummy, once a great and respected warrior accidentally awakened by a dwarf. The mummy would probably think of him as a tomb robber, a thief, maybe even a foolish adventurer. But no, it was just a drunken partygoer. Hearing the dreadful noises of *crundle leather drum* and +microcline guitar+ played up to 11, he strode with righteous anger toward the door. When the mummy bursts forth from his crypt, he would see the once hallowed and ominous halls of his tomb covered with booze stains, vomit, socks, and passed out dwarves. Pimpin gold furniture along with platinum cages with exotic nudes stood in the place of the ancient coffins and skeletal remains. The mummy would weep, run back into his coffin, and sob tears of bitter sorrow for not getting invited.
Now imagine a solemn party of pilgrims and worshippers, having ventured cross an entire continent to give homage to the resting place of a lost hero, only to be stopped by a bouncer asking to see their wristbands for the party.
Now name any other game that lets you turn an unholy pyramid of horrors into a frat house.

naked goblins count as exotic nudes?

(s)leep was selected.

my last question was answered...

new one

for a noble with the execution responsibility, changing skill to "AXE" should work, right?

quick question, as i have not tried fortress mode in the new update:

does the sheriff/ captain of the guard handle justice for vampires, or has the hammerer been re-added?

pffft! why use severed body parts, thats weak, use whole dragons and giants like a man!

i used to carry a few corpses for this.  getting a corpse to shatter the skull and get stuck in the wound  is the epitome of awesome.
