I recently tried to do a elven forest retreat-style play with elves. I died, so fast.



I had the majority of food stolen, my elves couldnt feed themselves, no meat. Farming went so slow cause my elves are lazy-bastards with foraging, so I couldnt get seeds.

No wood either, or digging cause the handles of picks/shovels are wood. So no houses......... Couldn't figure out how to make wooden crafts, so the singing stuff must be true.

How do the elven overseers stay sane during worldgen?

[nekronuke]

they feed off the stone and torment of the dwarves they trade with.

They extort everything from all the other races through attrition and sheer numbers (almost like a criminal hippy syndicate, but think more Al Gore political agenda). You were doing it wrong.

There is nothing Superior or good or functional about elves. Don't deceive yourself.

[Hephaestus]

They survive off guilt they generate from neighboring humans. "Bad humans! Those trees never hurt you! Honor their memory by feeding, supplying, and protecting us."

Dwarves, of course, are immune to their guilt trips. Clearcut it all!

Fixed for you.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

To horribly mutilate, humiliate, torture, and basically rape your foe, you must become your foe.




PLUS ITS NOT EVERY DAY YOU CAN WATCH ELVES DIE FIRST-HAND!

Did you set everyone to food-gathering?

Also, actual DF elves eat meat and kill animals.

Elves make and sell wooden crafts they just hate when everyone else does it.
What you need is to mod your farms to produce wood without needing to cut trees or maybe a custom workshop.

Or find a way to mod other civ caravans to bring it so you can go all hippy rage on them for bringing tainted sappy wood into your forest. You can trap and execute em, take their wood and slaughter their wagons, for that tastey tastey wagon meat.

They make trees grow the items for them.
Or at least, that's what Three-Toe says.
I get the feeling everyone knows this, but I don't mind.

I actually wasn't sure if that was a Three-Toe thing or a forumite thing. Thanks for clarifying. Redundant information is never bad, especially when its compact and small like that =) It makes it generally easier to find.

I HAVE GIVIN USEFUL INFORMATION!
MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!

Could pretty easily mod in a "giant tree" workshop that produces wood items from none-wood materials, even nothing.

I would make it use refuse or animal stuffs. It would be like the anti-goblin. Which actually makes sense lore wise (in a tolkienesque) way. Better yet, since elves are cannibals soylent green, make it only take sentient stuff. You can throw your dead elves in, of which you seam to have plenty.

Awesome idea =)
