Plump Helmet men don't form camps and as far as I recall they show up as wild animals in fortress.

Meaning? They will attack dwarves who are nearby but not go out of their way to attack anyone?

[tastypaste]

In my experience, Plump Helmet Men don't attack anyone at all. Your dwarfs will flee in terror when they see one, but the PHMs aren't dangerous. I slaughter them just to avoid the Urist McScaredypants cancels job: Interrupted by Plump Helmet Man spam.

Gorlaks are benign, but they only show up in good lands.

Gorlaks are supposed to be like underground guides, aren't they? I thought I read something about that... Maybe I am going crazy.

Either way, they don't pose much problem. They just wander about, and wander away. My experience is that they don't attack, and they don't attack back.

I can imagine these wandering underground merchants, with a backpack filled with gems, jewels and trinkets they they have found or made on long cavern trails. They only bring what they can carry, or stuff on a tamed elk-bird.

Underdark?

Are you trying to make the elves cool/evil?

Elves =/= drow. Drow are emo elves. This combination is so horrible it bends in on itself and becomes awesome.

PHYSICS!

Its a double negative you see.

Having the underground civs work the same as above ground ones would be a huge improvement, especially if they can then form cities and such underground, using tunnels and paved roads through the caverns for you to follow throughout your adventures, and trading with your fortress.. The tribes shouldn't disappear completely though, just be under some sort of diplomacy rules so it's not a guarantee that they'll be hostile.

All the stuff that's apparently going to happen in the future. Makes you wish you had a time machine.

If that is how hoary marmots behave then yes.

They don't though. Pretty docile and I doubt they are even very capable in fights.

Drizzt's behavior suddenly makes sense when you realize he's a teenager in drow years.

Worse were all the matriarchal women who couldn't wait to get themselves some adventurer wang.

More on topic:
It would be nice if there was a underground civ that brought you underground animals. Though I think that currently the elves bring too many so they'd be a bad example. How cool is a giant eagle if you don't have to work for it? Then again this could also be fixed by making a lot more animals available.
