My few attempts at this have resulted in miserable scores (I hope I get a good score soon), and three deaths, one from a arrow to the head, one from a sword being twisted around in my head (while being simultaneously grappled and blocked off by 5 children, dont tell me their worthless) and one from a spear through the heart.

Alright, by the way, it was a Play Now! Goblin adventurer.

I had one that was even better than this one, had over two hundred elf kills or so, 3 dragons, 1 hydra, and a giant. He was killed by a lucky elite bowman shot, like this one probably will aswell.

Usually I deal with most bowelves by sneaking up on 'em.

Anyway, keep trying guys. I will start posting my scores as well, as soon as I get started.

Has anyone but me thought of starting the I hate elves thread. This one is pretty close.

   Anyhow i'm going to take my flail wielding human into the nearest elven town and start some havok, with me luck.

Edit: holy shit that archer was good. I think my next elf killing machine will have to be a little more prepared. I think i'll make an elf wielding an Axe

Edit: Man elves are even terrible for killing elves, time to go dwarven on their asses

Arrows are a great reason to always kill the bowmen first. Just check their equipment with "l" that is not a I.

Man i love this little game. My First successfull Elf murderer was Dastot Lirrulush.

He left with a grand total of 17 points. 10 of those points are from beating two children to death with their own limbs. This game is cruel, but i hate elves enough to make it fun.

Well, I made a video of me slaughtering a elf town but it was too big to upload, (over 1 MB) so instead I went back the next ingame day and picked off some elves and recorded it aswell, it was smaller, so I could upload it. I displayed my stats and kills and what not at the end.

Dunno if anyone else has the problem, but the grid size I guess was too large, because the bottom of the screen is cut off for me. No rate or pause for me either.

Unib Mebzuthastis Stegethlid Rigoth, the legendary Dwarven axelord, had seven hundred ninety-three kills (the majority of which were elves) when he finally retired. He had burned in whole or in part every retreat he passed through and decimated several entire civilizations. He was a legendary axedwarf, shield user, armor user and wrestler, a master hammerdwarf (the weapon he was using when I retured him) and an exper miner(!) (picks get stuckin excessively, so I swapped out for hammer after a while). He was so stupidly epic that at one point I casually took the head off an Elven druid and waited ('.') in the middle of the retreat blocking every arrow and casually tossing elves into a pool. He wielded thirteen shields and was Ultra-mighty, Perfectly agile and Superdwarvenly tough.

Alright, let's calculate here. I'm much too lazy to actually count, so we'll assume about 1/3 of those kills are elves (it's actually more than that, because elves are so much easier to find than goblins and I didn't kill many dwarves), so that's an initial 250 pts or so. I've got no data on how many of those kills were by headshot/smash, wrestling (I know I removed a lot of eyes training my wrestling, but that wasn't my usual kill method), ears or childred. Guess less than half: that's another 100pts. I annihilated every elven community I entered and burned all of them; guess about a dozen, for another 200pts. I'm sure I killed some elite bowelves, but I have no idea how many so we'll ignore them.

So anyway. That's about 500 (conservatively) points for one adventurer--who brutally killed equal numbers of humans and quite a few goblins, as well. There's just the dwarves left now--I'll have to go get them next.... >:D

Wow, if I see more scores like that I'd have to raise my standards that or go insane.

You know what i noticed. Killing elves makes it really easy to train in bows. after a single attack i have Talented in Bowdwarf. I am going to going to be able to get that bonus point for killing an elite bowman pretty easy at this rate. Speaking of which, wreastling would be very usefull for that bonus. Break right arm, take bow and arrows, kill.

Ah, I tried genociding elves once. I killed a clothier and a couple of kids, and then a spearman approached me. Thinking I had the advantage because my sword and armor were iron and his spear was wood (and he had no armor), I waited for him to get close, and attacked. He swiftly taught me a little lesson about Fire Emblem's weapon triangle.

Maybe you should get a huge amount of points if you kill all the elves in the world. Probably not including slaves, since that would turn their captors against you. What do you guys think?

I think killing all the elves in the world would already get you an absurdly high score. There's not really any need to reward that.

I love killing elves but they always clusterf*ck me to death or I end up being shot by an elite bowman from out of my visible range.

Also does anybody else have a problem with killing elf communities with bows? I hate how you have to get right up to your victim to confirm you want to attack him before you can kill any of them. And I always have a low wrestling skill so I never do good in those situations.

So will an elite bowman actually say elite bowman or will it only have the legendary flash that everyone has?

It'll say Elite Bowman, and he'll flash. When you see one of these... well, actually, I'm not sure what to do. Laying prone only helped me avoid one arrow when I attacked a lizardman town that I had modded in, and the next arrow knocked me out. And then the next one just killed me. And that was after I had the experience from taking down a slugman town that didn't fight back very well because I forgot to give them the [EQUIPS] tag. My suggestion, though, would be to fight like an elf and hide behind a tree (which there should be a lot of if you're fighting on their home turf), then go into stealth and sneak up on him, or shoot him from stealth if you're afraid of having him spot you and shoot you a bunch of times.
