Motohog is a pun, or play on the words. (Motor + hedgehog)
The goblins have been outcast because it is illegal to ride a "motohog" (whatever the HELL that is) in Goblin City (noise violation)...
If you think about it, human bandits sound like a good idea, but elves? Come on man!!!

And honestly, while your are expected to search to see if your idea is already posted, you should not be forced to look up ever interpretation of you idea just to please some eggheads.
More: I get that you just want to help stop ideas from being reposed, but you don't need to post the archive to do that.
One to three of the most relevant and recent threads are enough.
On a serious note, I've figured a way to implement this suggestion without beng rediculous:
Have ambushes sometimes bring mounts.
Goblin outcasts? Were these the goblins that wouldn't slit a dwarf mother's throat when ripping the baby out of her arms? Don't sound too dangerous to me.
Maybe Human or Elf bandits would work. I'm surprised I haven't had any attack me considering that in Adventurer mode the world is full of them.
Actually, it might make things interesting, like the human civilization gives you tribute or something as a reward for killing one of their bandits, so the neighboring civilization do more than just bring trade goods (or forbid you from chopping wood).
Oh sorry, edited it. Eh, doesn't matter too much.
Wait, what about catacombs? Like, rather than building a coffin you dig out some holes in a wall with an engraver, that can store 3 bodies?
Catacomb burials should give no negative/positive thoughts, and coffin burials should give slightly better thoughts, and tomb burials high thoughts based on the value of the tomb.
There should be a building called a feeder, you set a pasture from the feeder. Dawrves with the animal care labor enabled take food to the feeder and animals in the pasture eat this, or graze if you dont give them food.(grazeing rate is increaced) to feed the animals ther would be a new crop wich grows quickly in groups of 7 to 12 leaving 3 to 4 seeds, so you dont have to spend forever growing food for cattle.
Problem solved
I didn't know those existed!!!No it was called a Dragonhorn.Well if we were to have air horns, we should also have a handheld horn that a dwarf could use to for the same result.
The idea reminds me of the dragonhorn from Dinotopia that humans use to make announcements over the sounds of the waterfalls of Waterfall city.
It's called a "trumpet". Or whatever it was they called those things back in the day...

If memory serves me correctly, yes.Do pipe organs utilize compressed air, or do they just blow air through the pipes using pumps or something?They also had pipe organs, so I reckon so!!!Good point. I retcon my question to be sincere rather than rhetorical to save face.They did have lungs, so yes.Well if we were to have air horns, we should also have a handheld horn that a dwarf could use to for the same result.Did medieval civilization have compressed air?

It seems to me like air horns are a more modern thing. Gongs/bells seem reasonable, though.
You can put dead dwarves in Corpse stockpiles. They'll come back as ghosts though.
