Getting tree huggers to declare war on you
« on: August 02, 2014, 07:06:10 pm »

I'm currently trying to make the pointy ears declare war (or at least send an ambush or two) to my .40 fort. What seems to be the typical needed offense to achieve that?

To the moment I have plundered four caravans in a row, they don't seem to get the memo. I'm stealing them instead of annihilating them due to cleanliness and less hauling needed afterwards. Should I change this? .40 seems to work in mysterious ways.

I'm currently on 40.05, yes, but they seem to have forgotten to send one for now.

We'll see if painting my depot red with elven blood works. Hurts my mind seeing all that stuff lying around though.

Sell them wooden items. For some reason they object to trees getting cut down to be made into trinkets?

As Prof. Lemur says, sell them wood.  Also, make sure to let one of them escape to spread the word if you decide to bathe in the blood of the hypocritical-hippie-tree-lovers.

I think you need a baron to get diplomats. My fort hasn't developed to that point yet. If you kill the elven diplomat, will the elves declare war on you? that's what happens when you kill a human diplomat.
