I didn't even have to. One or two decently-prepared meal stacks can basically own any elven caravan.

I use the elves' cloth bins for two purposes: saves me needing to make bins, and it allows me to sew images and then give away the goblin clothes as offerings.

Plus there's just something to be said about blood-stained goblin clothing embroidered with goblins making plaintive gestures.

But indeed, I have trouble with getting any animals after the first couple caravans.

Started a new fortress today, in a freezing tundra.

Anyone remember random generic PETA scandal #548564? Well, those lazy tree hugging hippies bring the usual wood, barrels, playstuff, and... shitloads of caged animal corpses. WTF. Seriously. And they do it annually.

Guess the critters freezed to death while the narrow menace stays warm within innumerable layers of rope reed trash. Time to go ecoterrorist to protect the animals and drive back the elves into their forest retreats (they're retreats for a reason, I guess).

Edit: Oh, may the divine amphibious coding creature grant us the splendor of the army arc!

I once had elves bring a grizzly to my glacier fortress and it looked like it might actually survive. But it died in it's cage on my doorstep.  :'(

Oh well, free grizzly bear leather.

Ive noticed this myself actually, its gotten to the point now where I had an elven caravan filled with Bins of cloth and only 3 items of (disgustingly organic) vegtables along with the usual supply of ecofriendly wood...anyway I can solve this besides killing them?

Dear Armok! It all makes sense now!  :o

The elves aren't treehuggers, they're the Lumberjack Mafia! They don't care about the trees - they get pissed that you're muscling in on their turf!!

That's what DF needs, The gutbuster brigade.  Screw that elf and his cat. Thibbledorf Pwent is the real hero.
