[Jades]

My current fortress has no magma (or if it does I haven't found it yet) so I need loads of trees to make charcoal with so I can melt down all of the steel goblin crap (I have no flux and the caravan never brings much).

What I'm doing with the elf tree negotiations is to chose "I can live with this but let's discuss the specifics" then respond with "Our needs exceed your requirements - relax, they're only trees" and the diplomat leaves happily enough. So far I haven't had any problems.

Obviously I'm careful with the trading and double-check the "Narrow Cave Spider" stuff to make sure that it isn't actually made of Chitin.

I find the elves selling me wood quite funny, actually. If it wasn't for needing to recycle steel I could probably manage on the quotas and imports.
