It was in the new version of knights.g (now called red-wizard.g).  In
the new version, it is possible to capture the lairs of certain types of
monsters (goblins, kobolds, orcs) and make them churn out troops for
you.  Their productive capacity, however, is limited to a single unit
each (e.g. an orc lair can only produce orcs), so I usually set them to
build 99 units at a time.

Since the module is more than twice the size of the original knights.g,
I'll send it directly to you in a separate e-mail.
