Dark KOBOLD Tower??
« on: April 10, 2010, 02:57:14 pm »

So I genned a new world, made a new adventurer and went to the nearest dark tower to pick up a few underaged meatshields only to find that it was actually populated by almost nothing but kobolds.
Now I've already noticed that goblin towers hardly ever have any actual goblins anymore in the new version, but I've never seen them kidnap any kobolds before. Don't the 'bolds usually live undetected by other civs during world gen? I didn't do any modding beside giving them the [INTELLIGENT]-tag so I don't have a logical explanation for that.
I could just look it up in legends, but I don't feel like ending that adventure session just yet.
Any idea how this could have happened?

Maybe the kobolds actually attacked and conquered the civ... somehow?

I should have added the intelligent tag to those kobolds!
No wonder it crashed!

But kobolds just flee every time they get into a fight in world gen!
How the hell would they conquer another side by fleeing?

They stole their weapons and then ran them over!

Maybe they stole all their food and drink and then forced them to surrender?

They fled in the wrong direction; the entire tower was mobilized to kill them, and thought they had them in a pincer...  The tower owners didn't know what to do when their doors were locked, and then eventually gave up.

Dang those Kobolds are getting good! A whole tower? The Gobo's never knew what hit them, and they've gone from Gobos to hobos.

To the dorf pulling the lever, the lever is just a lever. The magma pouring out of the mountainside is just a coincidence. To the dorf designing a pump stack from the magma sea, it is just that: a pump stack. No specific reason for it. It will never do anything.
for reasons best knows to themselves, the elves decided to explode

Ok, I looked it up in Legends. Looks like those kobolds were in fact abducted, though I still don't know how the goblins could do that and why they couldn't in most other games I played. Could have something to do with the truely insane amount of useless crap the kobolds stole from their tower, i don't know.

Anyway the goblins started kidnapping kobold about the year 500, were outbreed quickly like they always are and then I had ~500 years of kobold abducting other kobolds. Now I have a whole tower with weird stuff like kobolds wearing pants and shoes and kobold axemen (wielding the axes two-handed, of course).
The kobold tower is the capital of a (former) goblin nation. They also have a tower populated exclusively by dwarfs who declared war on their former homeland almost every year for about a century.
This world gonna be fun!

So they stole the Kobolds as slaves, only for the Kobolds to out-breed the Goblins and eventually replace them?

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang.

I wonder if Toady will ever implement Slave rebellions...Kobold Moses ^^
