VILE HERETIC KOBOLD! WORSHIP THAT WHICH IS THE ELF DWARF KING!

[Loud Whispers]

DO NOT DEFILE THIS GREAT THREAD FORUMITES

Just had an elven merchant named Cacame, t'was win.

Quick, use dfhack's 'makeown' function on him, see if you can make him a noble or a hammerdwarf. Hammerelf. Whatever.

Alas the times you could have a Hammerlord cause someone fly off 20+ squares with one hit are long gone and any new Cacame would be all but a pale shadow of the one true dwarven elf king.

Or at least, any creature with enough strength to do so would be so overpowered as to bring any form of sanity in worldgen to a screeching halt and begin spiking it's head repeatedly into a microwave oven.

Which sounds a lot like Cacame, to be honest.

[Sonlirain]

Come to think of it... what made hammers and other blunt weapons of yore so effective at knocking creatures back?
Was it based on streangth or skill? Because i don't think i regular conscripts could sent anything flying (for 20 titles anyway) and smash to giblets upon hitting a tree..

I think Cacame is proof that when Elves are taken out of their normal civ, they become EXTREMELY badass. They have sufficient strength and their agility bonuses let them basically dodge every attack thrown at them. Plus they're immortal. It's their restrictive civ that prevents them from beasting everyone else.

All those hard mods just need to make a elf civ capable of using iron, and they'd be more terrifying a foe than Orcs ever were.

*shudder*

This thread is back again. Damn the mermaid farms, Cacame shall live forever in the history books of DF alongside Boatmurdered. But the mermaid farms are a close runner-up

Yup. I'm really thinking of modding in a second-race of elves that's a little more Dwarfy: less emphasis on nature-keeping and a little more emphasis on metal-working. They'll still tame and use animals, though, so I can have sieges where they bring Giant Tigers/Cheetahs/Desert Scorpions and other FUN stuff.

I just hope they don't beast everyone else in worldgen.

[Karnewarrior]

If they are overpowered, you could always make their childhood longer. Hopefully that will taper off their explosive population growth, the only reason vanilla elves survive worldgen.

[3df6c]

I'm playing as the elves now, which leads to this question: How long is their childhood? I've got a twelve year old elven child and i'm starting to get worried that he will never become a real boy grow up. He's going be our dedicated metalsmith and I've even trained a war bobcat for him to have.
Thanks in advance.

All sentient species grow to adulthood at 13. Then it takes a few years for them to get hitched and then they start spitting out babby at every opportunity.
