I'm paranoid about elves, and my current fort does have their caravans trading with me so I know they're close. I was wondering, do they still send diplomats in this version when you cut down too many trees, or are they "tamer" now and don't flip out because you're using wood? As tempting as it is to find out, my elite marksdwarf squad isn't very large yet...

Unless my memory misleads me they won't start shit until your fortress is of a considerable size. They'll give you the heads up anyway so it's not like they're going to start killing people just like that

elven diplomacy currently is disabled in the raws .. you may reenable them but i have no clue .. it was written in the forums somewhere and should have a notice to that in the wiki

[UnrealJake]

Alright, so they will not ask me to stop killing trees in this version. I'd been quite careful with chopping trees so I wanted to know if I should carry on or just go and start clear cutting everything. Of course, once my wall is fully comlete and lined with men [I'm think of putting in two layers of fortifications, that way master bowmen have trouble hitting my men but most of my shots will be fine] I'll probably start something anyway!

if you got the time and ressources just cut everything down ^^ it will regrow and elves dont care unles oyu try to trade it to them^^

[UnrealJake]

Right. In 40d I was told to stop cutting trees. While there is nothing about them saying that on the wiki, there is also nothing about them NOT saying it. Thanks for clearing it up.

CLEAR CUTTING! HERE I COME!

it was taken out in .14 or.15 i think .. dont know if the change was wanted but well  it softens the impact of annoyance  by diplomacy .. liaisons chatter is annoying enough

[UnrealJake]

Tell me about it. Though the chatter itself with the elves didn't annoy me, they just said "F*** you, stop that. You can only cut down a few more trees or next time we'll kick your ass"

It was the fact most of my industries were shut down untill I found large quantaties of coal, and new migrants were lucky to sleep on beds.

Thanks guys, this helps alot!
