Talk:Goblin Army

5 on screen at once?
Is the "5 on screen" limit per player? Also, what is "screen" based on; current visible area? If so, this would imply that if you want more goblins to show up at once, switch to a low resolution. It took ages to for goblins to spawn and attack me while playing at 1920x1200, so it may indeed be related to visible screen area. Keldi 18:20, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Item Drops
Items that drop from the goblins and after the army is defeated should be mentioned on this page. Jrob 22:27, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * There aren't any special drops once they've been defeated. The individual drops are on the Goblin pages. --Theothersteve7 20:50, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Theorycraft: Spawning
It seems like for each invasion you have to break one orb. I break two orbs and get two invasions in 7 hours, then 10 hours of of nothing. I break two more(first one spawns EoW) and invasion comes out quickly. Also, after 50 hours i never get invasions on small worlds, but got 3 or 4 at medium.
 * Not true. My friend has not broken a shadow orb but has had 2 invasions. --Colonel Thirty Two 19:47, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The Colonel's statement sounds accurate to me, though I'm not perfectly certain. I will say that they do seem to be sporadic - there may be some strange requirement that we haven't tracked down yet.  I'd love to know a way to force or at least encourage them.  --Theothersteve7 20:50, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * If what Colonel said is right, then the page shouldn't say "You must have smashed at least one Shadow Orb." in the requirements. Unless I'm misunderstanding somehow. --92.19.50.249 10:28, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't decide if it requires a shadow orb. Now I'm starting to think that it does.  My base doesn't have one smashed, and I've gone without an army for 6-8 hours. --Theothersteve7 17:24, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It does require a smashed shadow orb. There is a glitch where a shadow orb can get smashed during world gen. --KoreRekon 17:30, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Boss?
Shouldn't the actual "Goblin Army" be considered a Boss (or Boss event)? It has arrive and death message like bosses, as well as matching music...
