I was attacked by these guys in my fortress, and the attacks seemed to co-incide with a kobold raid, are they actually smart enough for diplomacy or was it a coincidence? (around 10 of them, 3 kobold thieves, good practice for my new military) ---Major
It was coincidence they attacked at same time--ThVaz 05:35, 20 February 2008 (EST)
Ouch!
In a recent game, a pack of these raided my outpost very early in the game (before I had moved all my stuff into secure stockpiles). They stole several things, including the rope I'd bought so I could build a well as early as possible. Well, I wasn't going to stand for that, so I activated my entire military (all of whom were novice wrestlers or better) and unleashed them on the monkey menace...
Who then managed to kill one of my dwarves!
