How do you do it? I can't seem to make them mad no matter WHAT I do...


Clearcutting the map every year for 5 years... nope.
and stealing thier entire yearly trade goods? Nope.
And THEN killing off all but ONE from thier party? Nope.
repeatedly offendingthem BEFORE stealing from them? Nope.


Seriously... these elves are really hard to piss off...

[martinuzz]

keep killing the caravans a few more times
eventually they'll lose their hippiness and come go all medieval on your dwarves

[Akigagak]

Elves die so fast, it's amazing to watch a single, barely trained, axedwarf, go through an entire elven ambush as if they were groundhogs.

Do we have to leave any alive, or can we just wipe the lot out to get the stuff?
I have a device set up to flood the trade depot at the push of two levers, and after the third use it's now working perfectly. I don't WANT to leave them alive.
Plus I'm clearcutting huge swathes of the map to fill immense stockpiles of wood.

[commondragon]

Did you kill the diplomat?

Im thinking you flooded the depot and the one you left alive was the diplomat, since they like to run everywhere and annoy people.

Dead diplomat = super pissy civ

That's deliberate; they're the lemmings of DF.

Look in your legends sometime. It isn't unusual for an elf horde to attack a fort of a hundred dwarves, dying by the hundreds but eventually overcoming them by sheer weight of numbers.

Now, once the army arc is complete, you can look forward to seeing that in the actual fortress mode.

By what numbers for Armok's sake? I've had my Legendary Axedwarf kill whole sieges of goblins by himself. How can a fort of 100 dwarfs fell to pathetic elfs? Whole military went to have a nap?

I wouldn't be surprised.

[Techhead]

They get thirsty and get shot in the back by bowelves while getting a drink. Damn dirty cheating hippies.

Not nearly all of them are soldiers. Even the ones that are are <No Title> fodder. Your own grunts on the other hand are ridiculously quickly trained superhumansdwarves

[LegacyCWAL]

I've gotten fed up with their nothing-but-cloth policy to the point where I'm using dtil to torch them, just to see if it pisses them off enough to either ambush or else bring something useful.

Sorry? DTIL??

[gumball135]

I just genned a world in which the elves are at war with the dwarves.

Yippee!

I've modded in a couple of other races, though, which might explain it.

You must provide the seed. For the good of all dwarfkind.

It's not horribly uncommon, especially on the largest sized world. Probably quicker to gen a dozen of the default sized ones and check through then wait for someone to post a seed.
