Killing elves
« on: February 12, 2012, 01:12:54 pm »

I can't find any elves to kill in adventurer mode! You've gotta help me Forum-wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!

Mod them to build towns, or make them scary bandits! Otherwise, no elves :(

(Unless you find a fortress full of naked elf wrestlers...)

If there was a long war between humans and elves in some part of the world then this part will most likely have elf bandits.
Otherwise, no elf-killing in this version without modding, sorry.

You just gave Me an idea.
Mod Elves into Fortress Mode.
Kill them creatively.
Whilst playing as them.

Deon's Genesis mod has some sylvan elves which greatly resemble vanilla elves. Though in adventure mode they are likely only going to be found as bandits and the like. They are there though.

Clearly, this represents six side-by-side wheelbarrows, as indicated by the right half of the icon.  The left half indicates they are carrying babies with hats in these wheelbarrows.

Presumably, they are lining up to dump them into the baby furnaces.

Yes play Genesis mod I can vouch that there are a ton of elves around to um "play" with as I have been meeting them very frequently in ambushes when running around in their territory.  The Dusk elves are cool though and they even have towns and good weapons and armor for you.

If you do aim for Genesis mod, the 'Good' elves are the Dusk and Dunedwellers, those you 'want' to kill due to equal ethics to vanilla DF are the Sylvans.


If you do want to kill Elves (wondering why, as it's the ethics that differentiate them in adventure mode), go into the raw folder from the DF folder > objects > entity default.

Then do this:

'Ctrl + f'ind the word 'Elf' then scroll a bit down until you see:
Quote from: What you see
[DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:TREE_CITY]
   [LIKES_SITE:TREE_CITY]
   [TOLERATES_SITE:CITY]
   [TOLERATES_SITE:TREE_CITY]
   [TOLERATES_SITE:CAVE_DETAILED]
   [START_BIOME:ANY_FOREST]
   [BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_LAKE:1]
   [BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_FOREST:3]
   [BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_RIVER:1]
   [TREE_CAP_DIPLOMACY]

This designates where their race starts. Currently, you cannot see any Forest homes nor Mountain Halls in adventure mode, nor in fortress mode for that fact.

Replace that with:
Quote from: What you should see
[DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:CITY]
   [LIKES_SITE:TREE_CITY]
   [LIKES_SITE:CITY]
   [TOLERATES_SITE:CITY]
   [TOLERATES_SITE:TREE_CITY]
   [TOLERATES_SITE:CAVE_DETAILED]
        [START_BIOME:ANY_FOREST]
        [BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_LAKE:1]
        [BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_FOREST:3]
        [BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_RIVER:1]
        [TREE_CAP_DIPLOMACY]
So they would start out in 'human' cities.



And for another unrelated note, if you did mod in Elven diplomats and do not want to get the tree-capping rule, just delete the [TREE_CAP_DIPLOMACY] from there. Not fun though.
