Living in an elf run world.
« on: August 17, 2011, 12:39:23 am »

I just generated a new world, 550 years of history and to my dismay....... its run by FREAKING ELVES!

There are two dwarven civilisations. However, according to the site list, the mountain halls are empty. Well, there is one mountain hall that's populated......... by ELVES. I checked the world history and well, the other dwarven civilisation essentially crumbled, lost their king and queen to starvation that was complicated by the titans, dark creatures of the night and etc....... they survived obviously, but are apparently now expatriate dwarves. Presumably, some of the"empty" dwarven halls are theirs, just not manned by any notable historical figures.

And that's it. There are NO historical dwarven figures after approximately yr 50. Its the last time I can find a dwarf that existed in the history..... meanwhile, the elves run everything. The gobbos are essentially wiped out by megabeasts, but their raids? Killed by both human civilisations and elves. Oh wait, said human civilisation appears to have a sizeable elven population in their towns too.......

There's been some wars between what a cursory view suggests that demon taken over human civilisations, fiend gobbos and "normal" human civilisations, again, one with a very large expat elf civilisation fought each other.
Anyone who knows how to export and allow a better reading of the legends, please tell me now:D


So.... to summarise, my dwarven civilisation is made up of elves. Whoose king/queen/generals are elves, and apparently all incompetents because they fail to deflect their parent elven civilisation, the Mythical Jaws attacks repeatedly..... Now we're at peace with them. And they die of starvation routinely........

Sounds like a great story waiting to be told of how the dwarves took back ther pride! This, is ELVEN FORTRESS!

Build a gigantic statue of a dwarf. Killing an elf. With magma. And glass serrated disc traps. And laughing. And eating cheese. It shall show them that the dwarves are still alive.

Forgotten Beasts seem to be akin to Toady playing Dwarven Roulette with your fortress, as they can be anything from harmless giant worms made of mud to necrotic-gas spewing nigh-invunerable iron hydras of doom.

Go kill 'em all. Go to the nearest house and slaughter them like animals. Eat their kids in front of their parents. Or, eat their parents in front of their kids!!!

Go to the nearest mountain hall (as a dwarf, of course) and kill the elven occupants in their sleep. Kill the elven monarch. Pick up his crown, and put it on. Pick up his scepter, and wield it. Burn trees in front of their faces. Rule over the elves in you civilization with a steel fist (or iron, if you can't manage that). Force them to mine for you. Put them in a cruel mixture until the no longer look like an elf. Force them to fight for you, and make them kill all in their path. You are Saruman of Many Colours in this fortress. You... Breathe... *mumbles* Dammit, I can't think of anything else to say.

Re-balance the world.  Destroy the elves, make a fortress, and re-propagate the dwarven race.

Be sure to relocate your main dining room in hell as well, and make the obvious joke about it.
It's just immoral to let elves leave the map without being robbed at least a little.

if there's lots of g's and z's, it's gobbo. If you don't really recognize it, it's human. if it's called Urist, it's dwarf.

Do you come with elves and elven "technology" on embark? Or is it still dwarfs somehow?

I say stick with the challenge, a real Dwarf would be doing his/her best even if their leaders are all elves.
Prove to them what a real Dwarf is! There is no need to go the easy way by slaughtering them all.
Remeber, Dwarves do it the hard way, by enduring it!

Also.. to everyone calling me an elf or elf-lover, threatening me with magma or axes/hammers, you who are not up to this challenge.
I ask you; Are you Dwarves or are you Fluffy wamblers?
