How did Dwarf Fortress elves get such a high reproduction rate anyway?  Most fantasy elves have a low reproduction rate to compensate for thier long lifespans.  Of course, I guess that's why thier cannibals. (To keep from starving to death.)  X_x

I wonder if elves have orc/goblin farms since they reproduce pretty fast?  XD  KEK.

i'd guess df elves have a high reproduction rate to compensate for their short lifespans, then.

Funny, I thought the smart ones could live several centuries, if not millennia...
Ohhhhh...yeah, right, the "smart" part.  It's a shame so many of the elves in this setting are foolhardy, stupid, or both.   ::)  Still funny tho.  X-S

I suggest an elf distracts the frogmen by singing Surfing Bird at the top of his lungs.

I thought that it would eventually devolve into one anyways.

Wait maybe if you dress one female elf up in black leather and dye her hair you could push her off as the black queen who should shrike fear into webbed hearts using Gimmick levels the oh wait these are Frog men not Toad men dang almost forgot that part. hopefully this isn't leading to a water fall(which should in DF cause anyone excited and happy) so a gif of the elves shifting to Happy and DOOMED faces.

I want "that."  ;-)  Just because they're frogs doesn't mean it couldn't work.  XP  Waterfall would still be funny too.  X-/

Hmm, I don't think it's that likely.  The map (most recently seen here over in this update) shows the upcoming Hills of Foreboding.  Even if there were enough water for a waterful, the elves would be at the bottom of it.

in DF you can't have a swamp, a river, and a waterfall? Ok, Then maybe there a flooded narrow channel that dips into a really steep hill.... which was all carve out by Dwarves who built their main entrence In the Dwarf made river as a protection against goblins/frogmen and the elves happen to ride over it. If we can pray real hard in to the right Dwarf god(s) we can grow beards we might have them assist in Damming the narrow river.
-checks boat chase picture-
okay a Really big dwarf made River.
or light an arrow on fire and set the Frog-barge on fire.

No, we'll just elect another permament leader and so on until we only have one left. That badass elf will drag him/herself and a small armies worth of various caged creatures two the Dwarves before creating a lasting peace between our to races and getting them to give him/her their artifact adamantine items out of sheer badassitude. And then return to Amanereli unmolseted by the creatures of the wilds through lethal amounts of awesome killing any that stand in their way. Once they return they will be a hero and elves will become the most feared creatures in this world. Tales will be forever told of our caravan and the stupidly high mortality rate around it.
