With the new update we can finally get some elves to bend the knee to our glorious dwarven !!nobles!!
I'm curious if anyone has already managed to get a few elven civs to pay tribute, and how the hill dwarf thing is working
can you recruit the hill dwarves in to your army?

[Urist McVoyager]

You can send messengers to request historical figures from the hillocks. Once they're on your land they're supposed to work like migrants. So if you want to create a levy system and draft workers to train in arms before sending them back home, I don't see why you couldn't. Personally I might keep a standing army of four or five squads and break up another one into a training cadre to get my civilians up to militia spec before sending them back home.

So I invite you all, everybody, put your elves' minds at ease.

I'm working on extermination.

I've got a small fortress called Libashsedil (Axeangel) growing behind elven lines. The goal is actually to see if I can cross the species barrier and use economics to get some of the local forest retreats on-side. If I can, that's a supply of elves and animal people I can draft, arm, train in militia style, and then use for war.

My dwarves are wondering what to do with a cave full of elven bandits who pledged themselves to us with no prompting shortly after we embarked.

Politically it makes sense as there's a 2000 strong city of minotaurs (mods) next door who are enemies of the Elves, but not to us.

Well, it makes a nice story, but I'm pretty sure the game hasn't advanced that far yet...

Elven bandits with minotaur enemies would presumably have combat experience of some sort. No reason not to draft any histfigs you can and re-equip them with real gear. I believe one of the scary parts of fighting a goblin civ is that they have metal-armed elves who prove that, when given the right equipment, those little guys go from a joke nation into a thing of lethally fast beauty. I know I plan on drafting all the elven histfigs I can and getting them ready for a real war against the gobs.
