In my opinion our elf civs should accept wooden items.

[UltraValican]

Are you planning on merging normal elves and this mods elves or have this mods elves become a different civ all together...

[thatkid]

Sounds like a loyalty cascade, Shintaro. And yes, they can use copper wood as the basis for tending wood but the reagent should be preserved (Unless I got the PRESERVE_REAGENT the tag. I was kind of going off memory because it was a quick fix).

The next release will feature your ents, as well as the ability to trade wood to your civ.

Ultra, the elves in this mod are a different civ altogether. These elves are more ruthless, and are willing to spread "forests" to other biomes, such as tundras and deserts.
This means you'll be visited by two elf civs in the Spring. The hippies, and the controllable leather-mask wearers with berserker castes.
I'm considering altering the entity file of this mod's elf civ a bit more to allow for different items and equipment. It makes sense that they should have access to leather on the embark screen, for example. On an unrelated note, I'm also planning to add in another workshop that allows the harvesting of water at a very small rate, maybe. Thoughts on that?

Great idea. Make sure to add useless big workshops that look like a part of a forest so we can create an elf retreat on a glacier.

That's the idea

I've been embarking on tundras like a mad man trying to figure out what needs to be done in order to survive in a freezing biome with these guys.

[jaxy15]

Oh yeah, and note that the ents are pretty fragile because they're made of wood.
That's okay though, they could still rip apart a goblin even if they have a broken hand, they don't feel pain.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Last I checked you can't make large serrated disks anymore. The elves can't dig. They can make cage traps, and I guess any other kind of generic mechanism-trap provided they somehow get access to the required items. They have different names for various professions, and have a special 1-in-10 berserker caste that I have yet to actually see go berserk.

Hm, no LSDs? Wait, that acronym is taken...oops...Anyways, what weapons can they make?

Sounds like that would make them stronger, at least compared to organic enemies.


Also, idea: Maybe these elves should be called something different. Maybe they reject some elvish customs (like sitting in plain wilderness or eating enemies or not accepting wood or something) and the elvish creature would be renamed (at least the general name, for the civ screen at embark) to something like "Fallen Elf" or "Dark Elf." Thoughts?

[thatkid]

At the moment they can make spears, bows, short swords, and long swords. After the next update, replace "Short sword" with scimitar and it's basically the same. You can always trade with dwarves or humans or whatever for stuff like large serrated disks if you want them that badly.

Changing their name was something I considered, but I'm not entirely sure what to change it to. They aren't dark, nor are they "fallen". If anything, they're a cultural off-shoot that's a little more willing to kill things and a little less careful about the environment.

[ArKFallen]

I like the sound of this mod and shall try it after my current fortress.

So they're slightly more liberal elves? So how do Renegade, Liberal, or Radical elf/elves sound?
[Liberal in the context of progressive or less restricted]

[GreatWyrmGold]

Or maybe War Elves? Maybe also  make them bigger, stronger, and...well...dumber than most elves.

Any trap weapons? Giant corkscrews at least?
Normal-sized corkscrews?

[thatkid]

You don't even have corkscrews. The elves can't dig, so where would you pump the water too anyways?
They've been renamed Wild Elves. Unsure if this will actually show up in the embark screen/legends or not, as it isn't a caste name.

V1.2 up

Spoiler: Changelog (click to show/hide)

-Added Ents by jaxy15
-Altered Entity biomes
-Elves now use scimitars instead of short swords. Reactions changed to reflect this.
-Default site type changed to "CITY" for the sake of adventure mode. To change this back, simply open the entity_elfretreat file and change [DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:CITY] to [DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:TREE_CITY]
-Elves no longer care how many trees are cut down, and are willing to trade for wood. They can always just grow more.
-Berserkers are now faster and stronger, but also a little rarer.
-Add "Peaceful Glen" and two reactions

[jaxy15]

Ents have treetiles and drop logs?
Why didn't I think of that?
Oh and the glen's bugged.
It just gave me a "plants".
Growable plants don't use subtypes.

Blech
I basically just copy and pasted the product from an adventurer reaction I made for another project that I knew for a fact worked due to arena testing. That will be fixed in the next release, whenever that is.

[Keltiknight]

I am so gonna try this...hope I do not get lynched for playing this.

Do it quietly, the elf haters have a guillotine ready.
