Drow sound like they would make a great ambush. Imagine 50 stealthed drow in steel armor riding into combat on giant cave spiders.

make all those units Lloth-touched for extra raepage

It's community is the natural side effect of a game being a masterpiece hiding behind the learning curve of a brick wall - trolls can't play DF long enough to find something to ridicule.

That will probably have something to do with the fact that steel weapons and armor are what, almost 3 times better than wooden ones? Elves have superior speed, which translates into 1st hit, which translates into instant death for the target, given enough skill and equipment superiority.

Also remember that Elves are immortal, if they survive a few fights they rapidly become Ledgendary Everything.

I had an Elf town captured by Humans in one world, the town was home to about fifty Elves, every single one of which was Ledgendary in at least four skills (1000 year world gen ftw) and covered from head to toe in Iron equipment.

The last few centuries were full of civs declaring war on the Humans, getting annihilated by one or two of these Ledgendary Elves and then either being wiped out completely or sueing for peace.

They didn't need to, every time they declared war an Elven Death Squad (consisting of One Elf, these guys were Death Squads all by themselves) would immediately turn up at the nearest enemy city and trash it.

Random question: How is "Cacame" pronounced? Kuh-came? Ka-Ka-Meh? Ka-Ka-Me? I've been curious...

Given that it's elven, I've been playing with the idea that one or both of the "c"s are soft "c"s, so that it might be like "KAH-sah-may"

I have a similar situation in my current fort. My civilization has an elf... queen!
I checked the legends and they conquered an elf forest retreat after 5 bloody battles, with loses on both sides. The previous leader, who was also really badass, with lots of elf kills, has died of old age, and then the elf became the queen.

I have just fulfilled all the prequestities to make she come to my fort and I ecpect her soon.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I always pronounce it "Kah - KAIM" like the word "came" with a "Ca" in front of it. Yes, not very original.

The last name is "Awe - med - in - aide".
