Elven Diplomat
« on: July 29, 2014, 02:20:03 pm »

So, I genned a fresh world for 40.05. I was all set to spit in the elven diplomat's face when I saw on the changelog that elven diplomacy had returned (or something to that effect). But it turns out my civilization is at war with elves, so I have no idea if the elven diplomat is reinstated. So my question is: Does anyone know for sure whether the elven diplomat who asks for a tree quota has returned, and is this the cause for my civilizations war with them?

Guys I don't think we want to mess with using dwarves as fusion material here. Be careful.

It has returned, but that's not why you're at war. World-gen wars are determined not by diplomats but by ethics differences. You will need to generate a new world in order to piss off the elves.

Thanks for confirming, but are you sure that the new relation of a tree-quota has absolutely NOTHING to do with relations during world-gen? I've never had a world where dwarves were at war with elves from my history of normal world-gen (No advanced parameters).

Chances are if the elves started it it is very loosely related to tree choppery, with the pretext for war being mistreatment of trees plants.

The elven ethic is quite different from dwarves ethic (they eat dead people, mainly) so they often end at war with each other during world-gen.
