I like having cloth.  And they bring Sun Berries.  Mmmm, sunshine.  *hic*

I'm still waiting for them to realize they should bring wagons to my current fort, instead of a wimpy mule train.

Cloth, cloth, cloth, clotch, assorted trinkets, and occasionally, death. As much as I hate them and their ways I have learned a grudging respect for a force that can routinely(at least twice per season) field 7+ legendary archers, stealthed when I'm at war with them.

I have a heavily wooded map, and I found a goodway to deal with them. I call it the magma-pult. Sure it misses 9/10ths of the time, but so what? The resulting forest fire gets them in the end.
Especially hilarious when they're carrying booze.

I call it the magma-pult.

Share the recipe for that one please.

cloth, cloth, cloth and rubbish wooden weapons.

And as far as animals go they caused a muskoxplosion in my fortress!

I call it the magma-pult.

Share the recipe for that one please.

I suspect it's magma over a drawbridge?

I like to trade for everything that is not stupidly over-decorated, on the theory that it's only money and you never know what you might need or what might prove useful.  However, the elves do seem to go to great lengths to prove me wrong...

My favorite is the wooden armor.  Must be for sparring, so the practice weapons don't get hurt as often.

(Even better is when it comes in large sizes.)

Syphillis.

Syphillis.

No, Mount.  That was the Europeans in the 1600s, not the elves in 1050.  The elves brought athletes foot.

i used to love the wooden weapons for sparring uses, but now i get everyone to legendary armor and wrestling first, which nearly eliminates deaths from accidents.

i do like the wood and cloth and booze, since ive been playing lots of challenging treeless maps with hostile wildlife. also the grizzly bears and giant cougars are nice. my current elves have stopped bringing me wood, is there anything i can do to fix that? and the fact that i live in a desert without a single green thing in sight yet their stupid stupid liason keeps telling me not to cut down the trees.

catching a giant eagle must be an enormous fluke, ive got massive towers all over my mountain range with cats and things chained up on rooftops covered in cage traps, and the eagles never go near them. my hunters bring them down all the time though with no trouble, so im beginning to question the stories of their dangerousness. half my dwarves have giant eagle leather cloaks now.

Never let your lumber stocks exceed 100 when elves are around.  They count all logs, not just ones that were cut down.

[Wild Goose]

Eh, the cloth they bring is nice.
And sometimes even manufactured goods, like those cheap but high quality blankets they gave me the other day.

I have deemed this quote quality.

Never let your lumber stocks exceed 100 when elves are around. 

Or what? They declare war???

<starts forging more axes...>

1000+ wood.  Easy.  I cut that wood. They didn't bring me any.  Clearing that up.  The forest, I mean.

[Slashcko]

What have the elves brought me? Laughter. Laughter from their 10 z-level fall into a pit of spikes. Wooden spikes.
