Given that nearly every game world has suffered a cataclysm in the past and is not dominated by kobolds, perhaps it is the article (or at least your interpretation thereof) that is incorrect.Why is this a unique feature of these kobolds? Isn't this a feature every intelligent race would have? Given that this is a feature that other races also have, why would the kobolds be allowed to multiply in the geometric way you describe?Well, certainly if you remove all factors causing mortality, the entity with the fastest birth rate will win. But you have yet to demonstrate that any (never mind all) factors causing mortality have been removed or reduced as a result of the cataclysm.How do you know? Did the article tell you that? We know that Troglodytes, Lizardfolk and Kobolds all share the characteristic of reproducing by laying eggs. Based on what evidence do you assert that the contents of a kobold egg grow and mature most rapidly?So, even though they have a higher intelligence than orcs, because they are not humanoid, your model doesn't include them? Why not? Are only humanoids involved in this putative struggle for existence?So, in an earth-like world, they would be limited to a mere three quarters of the total surface (or nearly triple the habitat for which the monstrous humanoids are competing)? How would that cause them to grow more slowly?</blockquote>
