I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

The baby can be tamed.

About time this happened to someone else. The elf'll probably turn out to be a pretty amazing fighter if it survives long enough.

Actually, I tamed the baby, and assigned her to a chain.  A dwarf went over, uncaged her, and canceled job.  It seems the baby is wandering around my animal stockpile causing job cancels.  Although the baby itself is acting like any tame creature, and simply wandering politely, all the dwarves are scared of her.

Actually, this occurred to me this morning.  I was like "elves are social, I could have an elf mayor!  That'd be... shit that's lame.  I'm getting a minotaur mayor."

Scumsaved, ran some tests.  The baby is currently "wild", and not "tame".

Chained, the baby acts like an animal.  She loiters around patiently and doesn't bother much.  She doesn't cause job cancels either, as I ordered a door build beside her chain, and it got done.  When the chain was released via lever, the baby was marked as "hostile" on the unit screen.  I didn't have any dwarves nearby to see if she caused job cancels or not.  The animal carrier drug her from the stockpile to the chain without and job cancels.

At the same time, I chained an elf prisoner elsewhere.  This spearman ran around the small enclosure, pathing its 2x3 area wildly.  When ordered to build a door nearby, the job was canceled due to elf spearman.

So, it seems this invader's baby is partly domestic and mostly hostile, and acts very strange when tamed...

Once tamed, try releasing it into an arena with its parents.


See if they fight to the death.



Then, as your fort goes on, just keep having the babies from those elves fight their parents. See how many children it takes to take one down.

Christ, are you dwarves or are you elves? If you think Hell has too many demons, then youkill them till the population reaches an acceptable number.

Oh my Armok... You can train an elite force of elven assassins, and for their final test/first mission you could have them kill their own parents as a sign of loyalty.

That didn't last long, huh? Shame, cause binary's cool. Anyway, an important message: I will be changing my names on every username based thing I use to ASCIt on/around 10/1. Consolidating, I guess you could say.

Well right now it appears they count as hostile when roaming free, even if they're tame, which makes training and duty difficult.

I wonder if you can do this with humans.. Can anyone say "Baby death smackdown? Human infants vs. Elven spawn?"

Do it in a room full of nest boxxes.

So there is a chance during the battle that a random creature loyal to your fortress shall hatch from its egg. And join the baby  battle royale.

Yes, mother ****ing walruses stormed in through my well room, fatally gored my expedition leader, and danced off into the frosty tundra to sing happy walrus songs about oysters.

Elf wool shirts with elf bone menacing spikes, elf blood dye and your group's logo on it. Just sayin'.
