Hey all, I play DF quite a bit, but don't even have Dabbling in the Modding skill. I searched around a bit, and couldn't find what I wanted in DF2014.

Essentially I just want to make your average goblin siege more difficult. I want to give each goblin some starting skills, namely:
Armor User: Legendary
Shield User: Legendary
Discipline: Legendary
Dodger: Professional
Wrestler: Professional
Fighter: Professional

Can someone post a simple way to do this in the Raws. I do NOT want to change goblin size or add different types of goblins. Ideally I don't want to download DFhack either.

Thanks guys

There is a creature tag called [NATURAL_SKILL]

It takes two arguments, with the first being the skill token and the second being the skill level.

For example, cats have [NATURAL_SKILL:CLIMBING:15], which makes them legendary climbers.

I believe that these tokens are close to what you are looking for. You just have to add them to the goblin creature file, which should be found in the file called 'creature_standard.txt'

Code: [Select]

[NATURAL_SKILL:ARMOR:15]
[NATURAL_SKILL:SHIELD:15]
[NATURAL_SKILL:DISCIPLINE:15]
[NATURAL_SKILL:DODGING:9]
[NATURAL_SKILL:WRESTLING:9]
[NATURAL_SKILL:MELEE_COMBAT:9]

Thank you so much!

You could also create new castes; most caste-level tags override creature tags (for instance, you could create a caste that was far stronger.)

You also could give them an extra pair of arms or tentacles that always make things harder.

You can also edit their entity.

Giving them steel making reactions (copy them from the MOUNTAIN entity) will improve their equipment a bit.

I don't know if removing their picks will prevent them from using copper or iron while preserving steel but if it does, you can also remove bronze making and have steel clad goblins.

Based off of the Kobold entity, the tokens [METAL_PREF] and [PERMITTED_JOB:FURNACE_OPERATOR] allows them to use metals from ores they've encountered. Then, giving a civ a reaction for something means that they just have unlimited amounts of it, which is why you can get steel stuff even if your civ doesn't have iron. Notably, by default Goblins don't actually have bronze, or any alloys, so you wouldn't need to remove it.
