Playing steam version with short history in worldgen. I haven't had any elves visit the fort, and in the world screen they only have one site I can see with a population less than 10. They're near 3 high population goblin sites, and I'm a little worried they are going to die out soon. Only actions I can do are aggressive like raiding their site. Anybody have any suggestions on what I could do to help?

If your world has no elves, it has no elves. Make another.

You can lead an elf to the booze but you can't make it drink.  Wiping the goblins and megabeasts out entirely might save their civilisation from extinction, but they won't magically gain the population to become relevant.

And Armok observed - there were no tree-huggers in his new world. And he was sad.
And with a strike of his hammer, a million souls fell into the void and he began anew.

I think I had elves on my embark screen, but their civilization died before traders arrived as it's not in the civ list on the map after embarking. I made sure the embark screen listed elves; did a few worldgens to be sure.

All the undead sieges are elf corpses too for I'd guess are similar reasons.

Nothing is in the civ list on the in-game map until you encounter it in game.

(And inexplicably visitors still don't count for that, only raids, invasions, snatchers and thieves).

I appreciate the replies! I'll wait and see for now.
