What about tower caps in caves? Do elves notice if these are chopped down? How do the elves determine if a tree is cut down?24.45.114.135 18:53, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Entity Raws

I think there should be a listing for the elven civilization entity raws in this article along with the creature raws

OO

the wiki only has one page dedicated to elves, there is nothing that mentions how their civilization works. This one page doesn't even

mention growing trees.

Reduced rating to Superior because it did not include all information.

trade

Much of this article is focused on trading with elves. Some of the info might be better suited for trade entry. --Jan (talk) 15:07, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

"Elf Racism" edits

Is there an official Kitfox policy on how Elves should be represented, as suggested in the patch notes? If so, where is it accessible? As a long-time reader the "D for Dwarf" sections and humour really help this wiki, and the game's community in general, stand out.
