They might not accept animals either, still. Haven't tried after I first learned how to deal with elves, but in 40d they didn't accept animals or animal products.

Mostly I sieze any goods I desire from the elves, or any caravan that pisses me off by not accepting a perfectly sound offer. Usually, the caged animals and wood, but I also take alcohol, plants and plant seeds, cloth when I'm in short supply, and sometimes sand, although if a map doesn't have a natural sand layer then I almost never set up a glassmakers workshop.

No, they're fine with animal products. I wonder if they'd get annoyed if you sold them a non-wood cage containing an elf wearing a wooden item?

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Hello stereotype! Elves [in DF] only eat the corpses of those they KILL IN BATTLE, that is, their SLAIN enemies  :)

Getting them to bring lots of war animals (which are heavy for not much of a price tag) requires carefully conditioning them over the years - the favoured way usually being to pillage and slaughter them since that counts as "we made a loss this year" to them (and not "we must avenge our fallen").

No, they still wish to avenge their fallen. They just slightly misunderstood the "Send the War Elephants!" cry.

I like the elves. First they fill me with booze, then they bring out their wood.
