[Jordan~]

I voted for elves.

Gobbos, but if this had cloning machines, I'd tottaaly vote elves just for Cacame.

I'd like to see Humans come first just because they're not too different from Dwarves, but there's a considerably larger incentive to be above-ground. Just as well with the way humans are you would have to be more concerned about food rather than booze, and thus you would need to provide your humans with lots of different types of food.  The biggest difficulty with being human would likely be the whole war thing. If some way of doing war could be implemented it would likely be a big deal for humans who so love to kill other creatures! Lastly (and most interestingly) would be the taming of exotic creatures like Elephants, and then the mounting of them. Oh, and taking them to war.

Goblins would be my second choice. The thought of constructing large evil towers full of multiple races is kind of exciting. Actually that sounds a lot like the United States...

I voted for elves.

I honestly don't understand this. Elves in DF are probably more militant than dwarves are.

Seems like a lot of DF players/forum members prefer total nonsense community cliches than actually thinking about anything.

As much as I don't want to, I'm going to have to agree with you here  It's funny at first, but gets old really fast.

But elves are annoying when they bring me 6 pages of cloth, useless and weak-sauce animals, and an arrogant, racist diplomat.

What's the video about? I can't access Youtube.

[G-Flex]

The video is the "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" musical number from "The Lion King".

And yeah, elves can be annoying for that reason. On the other hand, they've traded me giant desert scorpions.

[Pan]

Heh. Lucky you. The best I ever got was a grizzly... 

[Uzu Bash]

Yeah, the elf-hate is getting pretty stale, and patently reactionate anyway. So you hate elves because you have to hate elves to be dwarfy, got it.

That said, they wouldn't be as fun in fortress mode, even with the cleverest bamboo technology. Using magic would suit them, but wouldn't suit fortress mode. They are funnest in adventurer mode, but maybe they should remain NPC in fortress mode.

[Drakeero]

Yeah... my elves don't bring me anything good either.

[caknuck]

Fluffy wamblers.

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

Fluffy wamblers.

To kill Bronze Collosii.

[krisslanza]

I think elves might be kind of fun. It would be a completely different way of building your "fortress" when you can't chop down trees.

Although I wonder what each of the suggested races would "replace" for booze, considering it wouldn't make (as much) sense to make them so dependent upon booze like dwarves.

[Untelligent]

Heh. Lucky you. The best I ever got was a grizzly... 

They gave you one-half of an infinite bear factory and you complain?
