There are dwarves that are nothing but useless sacrifices - Miners are not one of them.

My elven caravans have brought me NOTHING for the life of my fortress.  (I mean, like, the trade screen is empty). 

Sadly, despite my trade depot being built directly OVER the magma pipe, complete with support-linked lever, allowing the Depot and the platform it sits on to be dropped directly into the magma... 

I built the platform out of that lovely cobaltite, and I don't want to lose 49 pieces of it.  Worst plan ever.

Hell yeah. That's why my drowning chamber has spikes in it as well.
LOTS of spikes.
Because I'm impatient.

Elves do it in trees. Humans do it in wooden structures. Dwarves? Dwarves do it underground. With magma.

I don't hate the elves, but it irritates me when they bring nothing but cloth.  Exotic seeds and alcohol are welcome.  Animals are good too.

If your armor was 50% as good as two other civs and 30% as good as a third, do you really think you'd do well in war? That'd be like trying to engage a rocket-launcher mounted Humvee with a pistol riding a tricycle.

Wait, you guys let them get to the trade depot?

My trade tunnel is rigged to trap them halfway across the map, drown them, spike the ones who live, drain out, and then a secret door opens up so the haulers can flood in and take all of the goods.

Yeah, but killing elves gets you rope reed cloth and elf bone bolts and elf skull totems and any other crap they were carrying.

Dwarves would only be interested in Occam's Razor if there was a way to use it as a trap component.

That would be as deadly to the wielder as to anyone else!  You'd sever your own arm at the first swing!  It's perfect!

And probably not even then. One should not multiply entities needlessly, after all, be they unknown terms or bits of gobbo.
