Proof that Elves Suck
« on: February 27, 2011, 01:22:53 pm »

I copied my world folder so I could skim through the legends.  One of the upper-most ones, was this little gem!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
You read that right.  A troglodyte became an enemy of two groups of elves, and was unmolested for 52 years.  Then, a full 27 years after the trog died of old age, an elf finally managed to defeat it in battle!  They failed to defeat it, obviously, as the trog escaped unscathed, but I'm surprised they managed as much as they did!

I guess it extends to any creatures that make names for themselves by killing.

The last time elves came to my fort I had my whole military form up at the trade depot and slaughter all of them en masse. Unfortunately this leaves me with lots of useless elf crap that I can't easily get rid of.

On the plus side, I now have some nice engravings on the floor of various dwarves striking down various elves.

See, that happened when megabeasts starved or got struck down.  Those that died normally, and any regular beast that didn't starve, died as usual.  All other animals I checked died and stayed dead.  I'm not sure the "dead and still killing" applies here.

Elves are harmless unless they are archers on rhinoback.

I have some elves in my world who have a kind of cool name: 'The Absolute Styles'. They also have a princess/swordsman.

I think you mean bowman? That, or Legolas learned swordselfship.

Nope. It says princess/swordsman. So they have a transvestite warrior princess apparently.

Well, with all that style, at least it's a good looking TV.

Some male elf born in year 5 is now princess of their civilization. Not joking, it literally says that he is now princess of his civ.
Gender-specific noble tags don't work yet, so any elfe can be a princess/queen. a lot of people probably already know this, but what the hell.

I guess this works out. As far as I can tell all elves look the bleedin' same to me.

Burning and raping the land is recreational. Where business is concerned, though, sustainability is the name of the game.

Mmm, delicate little elven boys, so soft and feminine.

Of course, dwarves and humans use "Monarch" which seems to work well.  But Baron/ess seems to be gender specific, doesn't it?
