From 2002 to 2017, the Elven Forest retreats stood strong. Until the next update comes out. In it, our dwarves can go out into the world and fetch artifacts or cause trouble. Knowing this community, the first targets will be the hippies Elves. Their retreats will be ransacked and destroyed, until not a single plant stands.

Nice thoughts but it'll be a long time before we can actually invade and destroy sites. This next update our dorf squads will have about as much impact as adamantine wielding kobolds.

Well Toady said we can raid sites and depopulate them that way but yes outright destroying them is not yet possible, probably another 10 years away haha.

A typical site has a population of 2-3 thousand (some much smaller, some up to 10 thousand), since dorfs decide for themselves if they're going to sneak in or launch a frontal attack, you're most likely only going to end up with 5 or 6 kills per 'mission'. Better off taking an adventurer in if depopulation is your goal.

Annoying them enough so they come and attack you would probably work too (but only as far as depopulating their military).

Typical of my culturally and technologically backward kind! Perhaps getting their trees chopped down and their retreats wiped off the face of the earth will teach them to build castles and towns like everyone else!

But only way-too-tall humans build castles and towns...

@Shonai_Dweller:
In my experience, unless it is a major market site(¶/dark fortress/fortress/town) a site will very rarely have more than ~100ish sentients inside, so a typical human hamlet can be depopulated even with 5 or 6 kills per attack.

Emptied thus, maybe some other civ would claim it.

If your squad of 10 dwarves decide every time that taking on 100 goblins in a straight fight instead of just sneaking in is a good idea, then yeah possibly you could send 50 or 60 sorties to depopulate some minor hamlets and pits. Sounds incredibly boring. Better off sending an adventurer.

Be patient, the great dwarvern armies will be realised eventually. Then the forests will burn.
