We should test this for !!SCIENCE!!.

If we played an elven civilization, and chopped down some trees, would it be a crime?
We should find out.

Doubt about it. For now, ethics is just mostly about worldgen wars, it's not really implemented. Apart from the eating sapients one.

Like [OATH_BREAKING:PUNISH_CAPITAL]

"Hey, I'm the only legendary armorsmith in this fort. I'll build a billon buckler"

"We have no billon"

6 months after, still no billon. "YOU HAVE BROKEN YOUR OATH ! THE SENTENCE IS DEATH !" *instagib* No more legendary armorsmith.

Also, dwarves consider oath breaking to be a sentence punishable by death but lying is fine ?

Actually the Armoursmith instagib's himself and maybe those around him, so they just never need to carry out this sentence.

btw Elves is tree-killing hyporcrites, they don't even buy their own stuff back.

Example: Does this dress make me look fat?
....you look perfect! *shiver*

Example: I swear to protect my king to the end! OH ARMOK IT'S A DRAGON! RUN AWAAAAYYYYY

...I'm going to murder his ass.
