Yes, I like Elves.

No. Hate them.

I neither hate nor like Elves.

If they bring exotic animals/other useless crap = Diplomatic immunity/Yes

[ObeseHelmet]

Holy crap, combine those two mods, and you'll have legendary bowman superzombie elves that TOTALLY WRECK anyone who messes with their forests. Green zones?

Green zones = High quarantine zone specifically focusing on Elfitis. Filled with trees, Elves and big, scary animals. So very green. Step in those, you're not coming out. Trading with Elves is done at an arms length, and then some.

Damn it, you just made elves awesome.

[Broseph Stalin]

Until trees come into play I'm totally cool with elves. If I need animals or cloth their totally welcome but if I'm looking for a fight those tree hugging bastards are the ones I'm slaughtering.

[Casp]

Well, given that I'm an avid LOTR fan, played Horde in WoW (more than half the server population was blood elves - blech), have absolutely no tolerance for arrogance, tend to keep all my items in wooden bins... I hate them.

Elves are K.O.S. Always. No matter what. Elf shows up on the map, it's led into a brutal execution room where it is slaughtered. Sometimes, if I'm feeling generous, I'll let a caravan into the depo and trade it some bone crafts, let it take them home. Sieze everything else.

May as well let them collect their dead.

I've been fortunate enough to not stumble upon an evil biome with raining elf blood yet. Although it would make sense... The eye of the plague...

Two words: Cacame Awemedinade.

Other than him, yeah, I'll trade, but don't push me. Same as 'umans. (Or other races I've modded in, like halflings or semi-intelligent 'bolds or gnomes or...)

[MonsteR]

Never had a problem with Elves, despite clear-cutting massive areas of forest. I welcome all traders as it is a good way to pick up minor goods that I'm too lazy to set up an industry for, as well as cool animals and whatnot. Although I agree with the sentiment that, should I get bored and have a well equipped army, they are the ones that I'm going after

[WaffleEggnog]

I hate elves. Hate em hate em hate em. If they have cool animals? I kill them and take the animals. If not? My depot has a platform above it with a tube of water running into it. I just close the drawbridge and fill the container. Then I empty it out onto my prisoners who are in pits outside of the "trading" area. Yay!

[Uzu Bash]

They're worth more as trade relations than as enemies -- their loot sucks and so does their challenge rating. I can get them to bring plenty of cheap wood, I never have to spare a dwarf for lumber, only for necessary clearing. Leaving trees alive serves a defensive purpose, as it controls the approach of invaders so you can predict where to set traps. In caverns it can also make a wall to hold FB's, so I can address them at my own leisure. Elvish pets are a great bonus, especially if they come from savage lands.

[Buttery_Mess]

Elf trade goods are pretty useful, which is a shame because elf sieges are great fun. They're so easy to kill! So what's not to like about elves?

When they're inside your dining room rapid firing your metalsmiths?

[ohgoditburns]

I love elves. They bring me tribute every year, and I don't give them anything in return except the ability to walk away with their lives.

Reluctantly I trade with them - trading my dabbling craftrers rock baubles for stacks of food, booze and cloth jumpstarts my fort development. I hate them though, when I first started playing, many, many moons ago, the first fort I established where I didn't succumb to starvation, dehydration or animals eating my starting seven, during that unforgettable moment when I thought I was getting the hang of things, elven ambush! 30 archers just peppered the hells out of everything Been creating sealable floodable trade depots ever since
