[King Zultan]

Imagine thousands of micro dwarves building micro fortress, and fighting micro wars on your body, and that sounds like the itchiest thing I can think of.

I wonder if they'd count as parasites?

If all the little people just created cities all over your body, I'd rename them as metronomes.

probably, in all likelihood they’d dig at you and take pieces of you, you’d have to get rid of them before they continue this, eventually turning your body into a giant flesh fortress after defeating/assimilating into their culture all of the opponents. The process will be very painful

After your body becomes a flesh fortress the micro dwarves can take over your body and use it to seek out people to spread micro dwarves to them.

When a siege arrives and a player decides to wait behind a locked gate, sometimes this should result in the invaders igniting a bonfire and then igniting any flammable constructions they can access, including doors and raised gates.

No, that actually sounds extremely reasonable and is also why you build castles out of stone. What are you some kinda elf?

[Starver]

The game slowly but inexorably changes the person playing it into 'some kinda elf'. There is no cure. Nor any benefits.

The game also slowly makes everyone that doesn't play it hate elves.

They should just add Bruce Willis in the game because... comedy reasons.

Re-do the elves. Cuz they don't make any sense.
Now alright, I'm pretty sure that DF's elves are more reminiscent to nymphs than the pointy eared bastards we love to hate. Lovin' nature and hatin' anyone else, alright?
So first off, they claim to be pissed off by the fact that people "butcher" trees, but they have no problems with killing their own kind on purpose or killing off anyone else. And of course, they use born artifacts most of the time, but they think that butchering animals in wrong, so they just wait around for an animal to die and take its bones. That's fucked up on so many levels.
Second, they use bows. Made of wood and bones. And I thought these pansies hated wood artefacts, but here they are, shooting wooden arrows at my dwarves with their wooden bows. And where do they live, uh? WHERE DO THEY LIVE? In trees. Carved, of course. What the hell is wrong with them?
So I'd say, to satisfy everyone, let's just make elves similar to LOTR's elves. They are a-okay with cutting down trees, but they'll be most likely to allow nature in their fortress, with vines scourging on their walls and trees growing everywhere. Also being closer to animals and eat exclusively vegetables. They would also be closer to magic, I suppose. What could be interesting is having some differences between certain groups of elves, one being higher/closer to magic than the others for example.
And they could complain about... Huh... Dwarves hunting too much? I dunno.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Frankly, having race differences within the races could be interesting, but that would trigger some purists around. I dunno, I'd love to see Gnomes and Hobbits being the distant cousins of dwarves. Or High Elves treating their subbordinates (Drows? Gelflings maybe?) like shit. I've already been thinking of doing a mod that creates a human generator so that each human tribe/civilization has its own physical gimmick to it (like having humans that have blonde hair that glow in the dark, natural vampires, snake-tongue humans, winged humans, etc.).

The elves are right: as in Don't Starve, if you harvest too many trees, the rest will start coming to life and attacking your fortress.  Unlike in Don't Starve, you can solve this problem pretty handily with magma.

Also, every kind of wood lends a specific aesthetic to objects and furniture made from it; dwarves will praise oak for its sturdy shapes, pine for its clean grain, and mahogany for its sweeping curves.  None of this is reflected in the graphics or item descriptions.

(Incidentally: does burning down trees on your map anger elves like harvesting them does?  Or do they only get mad if you actually get use out of them?)

[Egan_BW]

Animated trees are heat-proof, can punch down drawbridges and constructed walls, and will instantly kill any adjacent dwarf by draining all of its blood, using the nutrients gained to split off into two animated trees.
Teach you to disrespect nature, mountain dweller.

[delphonso]

Animated trees throw starved sheep skeletons from their branches

And the occasional light-blue Ford Anglia...

All stone, including constructed and natural walls, is now flammable.
