What is The Relationship of Elves With Other Races?
« on: December 23, 2020, 02:19:51 am »

Most importantly I wish to know which one are being mortal enemies with them.

I killed already about 2000 goblins as an elf and I'm getting bored of it. I wish to assault humans but I want it to be morally justified.

Dwarfs have tendency to cut down trees but that doesn't make them mortal enemies until they cut too many of them.

I don't know what do elves think of humans. Should I murder them just for being them?

Should I also murder Dwarfs for how they're digging may one day unleash hell itself on surface? It seems like Dwarfs are only being assaulted by Elfs in absolute feeling of need since having to attack they're fortresses would possibly take some casualties. That's my opinion on why they are trying diplomacy first.

The moral codex of Elfs allows killing fellow Elfs if the reason is extremely good. In self defense they should be spared if possible at nearly all cost.

They are at peace with wildlife. Does it mean I should let megabeasts be but slay semi-megabeasts instead?

Pretty much everybody wants Goblins and Kobolds to be dead. Nuff said.

Should I leave animal people alone? I think if they were to be woodcutters they cut as many trees al Elfs or less.

Is killing beak dogs okay if they are not even fighting me at all ever? Those are evil beings but also creatures of nature?

Is killing Trolls justified by the views of Elves?

Does anybody know how to become an elephant man in adventure mode? I literally did all advanced world settings possible to increase chances.

I think elves treat animal people as animals, and they're at peace with nature do it's not in their ethics to kill animal people unless it's necessary.

Elves will sometimes be at war with dwarves or humans, sometimes not. Their ethics are different enough to cause friction, but they're not outright hostile to each other.

I'd say it's probably not justifiable to go to other civs and murder random civilians, even if you're currently at war. That's more goblin ethics.


Though, nothing in the game actually forces you to act in accordance with what your adventurer's morals or ethics should be, so if you want to kill something you can just do it.

In elves ethics, killing neutrals is ACCEPTABLE. So, killing humans or dwarves will be moral for them even without war.
