Factions will go to war with you (dwarves can't) if they repeatedly make a negative profit by leaving the map, either because you siezed goods or their wagons were raided by goblins, or you drowned them. Offerings can pad your numbers and help amend that, but so can large profit margins. I think.

What if you dump them, depot and all, into the magma pipe?

Would that make them go to war with you faster?

Elves don't seem to mind me making their merchants go beserk and kill each other every year.  I know killing a diplomat can lead to war though.

I tried that.  I built a 6 z-level ziggurat with a depot on top, and unbuilt thefloor around it while they were trading with me.  Most of them plunged into the pipe, but one wagon was left suspended in mid-air where the depot had been.  Was bizarre.
