Hmm, so to make things even, I should trade steel to dwarves, iron to humans and wood to elves. 

Yes. Except wood to elves... no can do. Sorry. They won't accept. Better sell them their countless clothes, dyed and turned into !!socks!! (if only we could).

Oh they will accept, THEY WILL ACCEPT. Be it through trade, or a wooden spear trap through there unprotected neck.

Supply the elven army with bronze weapons and iron armor to allow them to wipe out the humans *cough*bayofpigs*cough*

Of course, if you plan to keep friendly relations, helping to arm the humans and elves may make the timely arrival of their caravan able to help break a siege. With victory booze ready to be offloaded to boot.

5 elves with steel swords vs. a goblin seige.

I like those odds!

It'd need to be large bronze armor.  Standard dwarf size doesn't fit humans or elves.

Also: Why WOULD you need to export to steel to anyone other than dwarves?  The most I've ever seen from humans or elves is 5k worth of goods I wanted...  I mean, it's not like you can ask them to bring every gem they've ever dug up and spend 80k+ on a caravan.

To make the elves like you so much that the next time they come, they bring the female Giant eagle to match the male one you just bought. THEN you magma them.

Question : how do you deal with exotic pet breeding without dungeon master? Ya know, in vanilla...

Oh well thats easy you just... Wait, vanilla? Hmm, tricky. You could just 'catch' them and put them in a room, untamed, and leave them to breed. I think that only works if you have a DM though. Personaly, I would mod the raws so you can have a DM.

I sell decorated dresses, mostly. Little girls around the world love to wear Spiralpaged depictions of goblins being brutally ended.

Though there was the time I bought out the entire loaded caravan (I asked for max of all metals, etc) with one cotton candy goblet.

actually, you only need the DM to tame the beasts. If you buy a breeding pair from elves, you can breed and train them no problem.

So I've been told at least.

I was under the impression that due to the way things were progammed, for wild animals, if they were [PET] then they would breed, assuming they stayed on the map long enough to, but [PET_EXOTIC] would only breed once a trigger for a DM had been set off. That being said, I'm going off something I remember reading in the forums, so it may not be correct, to this, or any version.

That's what I observed. My breeding pairs of tamed (bought) Giant Desert Scorpions, Giant Jaguars, and then some, never ever bred, while my recently tamed mountain goats are plentyful. And I've never got a DM in my... short... gameplay experience.


Apart from that, I tend to export bone and shell crafts, stone crafts, green glass goblets and such if I'm into glass industry, and I recently tried clothes... Erk. There really isn't much to buy from caravans, and I gather so much useless goblin junk I'm considering magma.

Hopefully, once the caravan arc is done and more items are added in, trading will require more than a handful of well crafted items.

*Elven caravan rolls up*
Urist McTrader: Good ta see ye, freind! What fine and exotic goods do ya bring from the depth of the forests? Maybe a giant eagle?
Elven trader: Well, we have a few bears, and of corse plenty of cloth, what are you offering?
Urist McTrader: Ah, we 'ave the greatest earings in all the land! Ya have to see the +quality+ for yourself!
Elven trader: Well, we were sort of hoping for food you see. I mean we don't butcher our animal freinds, and we wouldn't dream of clearing land for farms, and since we went to war with the humans over there logging, we have all sort of been realy hungry.
Urist McTrader: Sorry, but we just sold our spair food to a dwarven caravan for some gem stones. But realy, look at these wooden mugs!
Elven trader: Realy? I mean realy...

im excited for the benefit of producing a variety of goods rather than just dumping tons of stone mugs on the caravan...
