Murdering elves...
« on: May 01, 2009, 07:37:27 pm »

Nono, not the act, the title. This world was generated to 1050... we have a few 1049 year old goblins and stuff like that and...

Elves on a rampage. They've wiped out several human civilizations (that I've found so far), and even make serious dents in the dwarven population. Seriously, this stuff isn't supposed to happen:

I was unaware that Elves could kill dwarfs in large numbers, let alone win a battle against them. Destroy that world. Put it in the recycle bin, empty the recycle bin, reinstall your operating system, throw the unholy machine out the window, and burn the remains so as to appease the blood god who must be furious at the simple idea of elves winning against dwarfs... Magma might work too

No, then they'll be free.  Besides, you probably need that world, to preserve the balance in the others.

Too bad you can't save this one for Army Arc.  That would be a perfect world, ripe for cleansing and conquest.

The dwarven economy is just a stand-in, from what I understand. As it is, it represents an actual economic system about as well as poison ivy represents a salad.

Holy cow. Those must be some hardcore elves. Have you looked some of them up in legends? How bad ass are they?

Elves are never badass.

No! Never! You must not give up! You must hold a last stand against the elves, and battle them back to the pits! Back to the molten pits! It is now up to you, to repel these elves, and save the world, as well as the world's dignity. So- wait for them to come, for in time, they shall, and then they shall be torn apart by the fury of The Last Dwarves!TM

I agree you must stand and fight, you must fight those elves from your rocky homes with burring magma, to their grassy forest citadels, the dwarven race will survive this dark tide! Armok will protect you on this quest!

Are you sure that the Humans and Dwarves didn't just LAUGH themselves to death when they were told that the Elves were attacking? It would explain the facts...

Embark on every elven retreat, and do the "Scour the Earth" challenge.

Huh.. I dunno. Look in the OP's picture. Alu Windcosmos the Gleeful Cremation of Earth got his toe torn off and then his mouth smashed in by the dwarf he was fighting, and he went on to kill the dwarf anyway.

Also, I remember a topic posted quite a while back about an insane world-gen elf who went on a gigantic murder spree. The name was <something>lala Falalalala or something ridiculous like that. It was pretty epic.

How's this?


mostly children, it seems. There are quite a few dead elves with an impressive kill record as well (I found one what killed both a giant and a cyclops, as well as a score of humans). This one, however, is still alive.

27 kills is not impressive.

I had an elf who killed and devoured a demon :). Yeah, that world had around a 10:1 ratio of elves:other creatures
