When I go to an elven retreat and ask the druid for quest, after fighting some trolls and giants he or she will give me something big to do: kill another race's leader!

Elves are sometimes as bloody as goblins..

It's actually pretty common, but yes...the Elves sometimes are just as bloodthirsty especially when they are currently at war with another race, like sending you against a civ's war veteran that kicked their ass several campaigns ago.

I think I've read somewhere that someone was given a quest by a warlord to kill a kid...yes some random kid that probably did nothing that deserves an assassination attempt (Mr. Wilson finally snapped and wanted Dennis dead?).

That's because they're easier to piss off...if you check their entity RAWs, a lot of things piss them off. The high and mighty attitude doesn't help...and the tree hugging...or the corpse eating...

Yeah, most elves are dicks.

Those conservative elves. wage war on humans on formalized agreement. war on goblins for devouring sapient beings. war on dwarves on dispute over truthfulness..

I'm going to assume it's an excuse to eat the rest of the world.

I saw the Elves have a battle with the Elves, but they never declared war so I did not count it.
The Elves won. :'(

The reduction of elves in the world with no casualties is whose loss?

I never started a war with Elves because the only thing I hate more than skeletons is an army of pansies shooting splinters at me.

At my fort "Highnest", I didn't trouble myself thinking about finishing those elves. get them inside a narrow passageway with forbidden doors at the beginning and end. Inside? Melee dwarves. when they get in between the doors, un-forbid the doors. Then the siege is over without a single dwarf killed but some wounded. but the more they come, the harder it is to defend the fort.

I've noticed them war with humans constantly in world gen, even more than with goblins.
They inevitably lose to the smallest insects.
except kobolds, which seem to be fairly worthless when it comes to conquering anyone, even if you give them major upgrades to both civ and species.
