40d Talk:Elf

I have successfuly traded them Silk items in 0.27.169.32a--Draco18s 00:01, 4 November 2007 (EDT)

Thanks for testing it, I removed the verify tag. --Turgid Bolk 20:43, 4 November 2007 (EST)

I have to wonder why elves wouldn't accept anything made out of wood, when all they want to trade me is animals in wooden cages, and alcohol in wooden barrels and bows and bolts made out of wood...you know what, almost everything they wanted to trade me was made from wood... --UltimaGecko 01:32, 4 November 2007 (EDT)

It's because the elves ask nicely when they take wood from a tree. Dwarves go out and TAKE IT!--Xazak 14:38, 4 November 2007 (EST)

I accidentally tried to trade a wooden bucket with them. The elves scolded me, but still allowed me to trade my stone mugs and scepters. They don't leave straight away anymore.^[Verify] --Mechturk 01:44, 5 November 2007 (EST)

Ah, I'm glad they're more forgiving now. Fixed. --Turgid Bolk 02:14, 5 November 2007 (EST)

They may rather be bugged now. There is a bug report that offering them something they don't like will make their mood maximally happy. --Geekwad 14:14, 19 November 2007 (EST)

Elfs are stupid. I traded some stone crafts for some of their wooden cages, and then i tryed to trade those same wooden cages back and they get angry at me for killing trees! Diabl0658 12:09, 1 December 2007 (EST)

Fortress in Elf Territory

I set one up for fun, and so far (1st winter) there's been no effect. The weirdest part is the large number of named trees; I've avoided cutting them down, and the elves haven't bothered me. I've had hunters chase and kill deer right in their midst with no ill effect as well -- it remains to be seen what happens if he misses the deer and hits an elf, though. Will report back when I find something interesting. Dolohov 10:53, 12 November 2007 (EST)

Pissed-off the elves...

They seem to be kinda wussy, considering that I confiscated all of their trade caravan's goods (3k in rope reed cloth of various colors and a little bit of alcohol and seeds) and I expected a siege (my fort is in a boring area, and losing is fun) but they won't attack me. I took their junk a season or two ago. When and how will they attack? --Penguinofhonor 19:22, 27 November 2007 (EST)

Elves are wusses now. It's not even known if non-evil races still siege, much less treehugging wusses like elves. -Kefkakrazy 01:09, 28 November 2007 (EST)

Elves bringing corpses

The elves usually bring an animal or two in cages to trade, but many times that bring cages full of corpses... It's either all alive, or all corpses. Maybe the animals died in transit? Anybody else have this happen to them?--Valdemar 22:11, 25 December 2007 (EST)

"It's not dead, it's resting". Er, the humans do this to me too. Pretty sure it's on the known bug list. Acama 02:17, 30 December 2007 (EST)
