Bah, I dun give a crundle's ass whether ur not any of them elves dies by my warriors hands.  It's far more fittin' that they slave away, only to be rewarded with trinkets of no value.
 

Blood begins to swirl and twist around you, Armok begins yelling in your mind and you fall to the side, bleeding out of every orifice.


obolisk0430 has been found, drained of all blood!

You should be able to make a reaction in which booze is made from blood...


Elf blood wine, served with elf cakes? Yummy.

Download Masterwork mod, it has bloodwine.

Also, this.

Just replace cybermen with elves, and daleks with dwarves.

[King DZA]

You know, I honestly build up enough crap over the years, that I'm thankful for when the elves visit. After year five, I don't give a fuck if everything they bring is absolutely useless, the opportunity to get rid of even a small fraction of the gigantic horde of crap clogging my stockpiles seems like a godsend. Extra wood and badass animals are just a bonus.

[obolisk0430]

Oh yeah, I knew I forgot something.  Easy wood.  In case I don't get a thick forest.  Or I'm lazy.

[simonthedwarf]

I tolerate elves because their crappily equipped armies are beneath my notice, and they supply me lots of wood from 1 point without having to haul it. I now rue the elf-criticism for its undwarvenly impracticality.

They also buy all my destroyed clothes.

[ddonohu2]

All caravans are useful for selling the junk dropped by other caravans who weren't fast enough to avoid goblins or zombies or what have you. How else should I dispose of fifty buckets barrels of blood and liquid and bee venom.

[GavJ]

1) Elves don't wear armor (merchants) or have guards.
2) Elves are pushovers and won't lift a finger no matter how many times you slaughter them, in this version at least.
3) Elves are dirty hippies.

Conclusion: There is no reason to ever deal with them.  Always SLAUGHTER!  And sip their delicious fisherberry wine from a nice elfbone mug.

[Lordraymond]

I don't kill them because I feel sorry for them with their wooden weaponry and armor.

It's like beating up a beardless dwarf, I mean, isn't the fact that they exist punishment enough for them?

[Zaerosz]

I don't kill them because it's my headcanon that elves make some of the finest alcohols known. The wine in particular is exceptionally well-aged.

[Kaleb702 Games]

Why bother killing them?

If they get in the way of progress, then yes. But if they just give you practically free crap, why bother? It's more dwarvenly to take their stuff than to kill them; then they get a pointless existence that can be ended once they break things.

[Naryar]

So OP uses wooden armor and Elf weapons ? He's an elf ! Exile him in a forest retreat !

Buying elf booze is fine, after all sunshine IS the best booze of the game.

Also, elves honestly are just as difficult as dwarves in trading, and bring wood, barrels, giant animals, and some other useful stuff. Of course, half of what they bring is crap you don't need, but honestly I find elves better trading partners than humans.

[Loud Whispers]

Honestly the Elves are nice hippies who just want peace, and I keep killing them all. So I modded Elf blood to transform any creature it touches into an Elf. Didn't stop me from killing them still :/

So now they become [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE]

Still didn't stop me from killing them, but damn is it fun.

When I need wood is pretty much the only time I let them be.

[JimDale]

And animals.
One day if I survive long enough I'm just going to keep buying Elf-trained animals, train them for dwarven things like war, then kill the elves with them.
Until then, I'm more than happy enough to keep trading worthless craps for things I couldn't be bothered to produce.

[Teneb]

I use elfs mostly as a way to get rid of all those clothes that pile up after a siege. Especially the big ones I can't make my dorfs use.

[loose nut]

Of course, half of what they bring is crap you don't need, but honestly I find elves better trading partners than humans.

Yep. Elves are better than humans now. (Their clothes fit, too, and now that your dwarves need clothes...)

You really have to play forts in .40d to develop a proper hatred of elves. This talk now, it's just habit.
