Pour one out for the glass kobold cathedral.

No, that isn't microcline. It's three stories of clear glass sticking up out of the ocean, with temples to all ten of our gods inside. We overwhelmed the goblins in sheer numbers early on, but when they brought a proper army, our bone and shell were no match for their iron.

Perhaps Podojrolis will send a hero to reclaim this place and lead our people out of the shadow of extinction.

I modded kobolds to be playable (gave them some extra permitted jobs and the [intelligent] tag) and used dfhack to drop a couple of pillars into the water so we could build on top of the ocean, though I suppose I could have just built some floor out from the beach. Clear glass takes SO LONG to make. We would up deforesting the entire surface so badly for pearlash that the elves didn't even send a diplomat, they just started attacking us.

Large daggers are pretty good weapons, and blunt weapons don't seem to care about armor as much in this version, you still get a lot of knockouts and twisted limbs even if you're bopping someone in their iron helmet. Ultimately though you need to rely on traps as you're never going to get a kobold to the point where it can plow through goblins like the Juggernaut.

The best part of all this was that the kobolds still have the [utterances] tag, so they can communicate with elves and humans but all their names are still untranslatable jibberish like Jreengis.

UPDATE: I tried to reclaim the fort and for some reason everything below ground level (including my mines and the first two cavern layers) is totally flooded. It might be a bug having to do with this being an ocean fort, as this was never anything that happened in gameplay. The sheer lag from the totally flooded caverns makes it more or less unplayable.

LPT: you can abuse the new party system to teleport around the world

This trick relies entirely on the fact that you can re-assemble your party after retiring at a location. So, this is how you do it:

Retire your hero or party. Be sure not to pick the "starve" option.
Create another hero (pay attention to the list of locations!), and pick the location you want to teleport to as his/her hometown.
Add all people from your previous party to your current adventure mode party, via "Specific person" at the bottom of the race selection menu.
Start playing at your new location.
Dispose of your new hero, or add him to your party.

This can actually be exploited to add more characters to your party if some of them were killed, making this method a good way to replenish the numbers of your meatshields.
