Elf-Dwarfs: Dear God Why?
« on: January 08, 2009, 06:44:39 pm »
You know, I was pretty cool with dwarves befriending goblins. They both liked mountains, booze and violence; even though I might not be able to kill them anymore it was still good. Hell, I'd be ok with dwarves hanging out with humans...

...But Elves?!



They live without beards or booze; they wallow in the unnatural misery that they meaninglessly endure. They are very real, they are Elf-Dwarves.

You have it completely wrong.

Those are Elven retreats the Dwarves conquered.  The fey-folk now live like dogs, butchering for their food and hacking down trees to appease their bearded overlords, cursing every moment of their immortality.

Also, a Dwarven civ named Urist.  Hur hur hur.

Most certainly. The dwarf-elves would be the places that have a dwarf hall in the elf realms. No dwarf would call themselves a dwarf without having the elves properly in their place.

They lived pretty much like elves, no buildings or shops. Just sorta meandering out in the middle of no-where.

Check how long ago they conquered the retreat.  It may have been so recent that they haven't built anything yet.

Or maybe it's that the worldgen activities don't have a lot of direct implementation yet.

It wasn't conquered, the dwarves just moved on in and I guess the elves died naturally or by semi-mega beasts.
