v0.34 Talk:Elf

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Hi,

I haven't had any trouble trading wooden or metal (incl. steel) items to elves, both created on site and traded to me. Should the wiki be changed to reflect this? Am I an anomaly? --Lidhuin 22:06, 20 August 2012 (UTC -05)

Are you using vanilla raws or are you using mods (e.g. Masterwork)? Also, Elves have never cared about metal - the only things that bother them are plant-derived goods (they assume that all metalworking is done using magma and/or mined coal), and they haven't cared about animal-derived goods (meat, fish, bone, leather, etc.) since the early 3D versions (i.e. between 23a and 40d). --Quietust 02:25, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
Just the LazyNewbPack, which to my knowledge doesn't specifically use mods, just outside utilities such as dwarf therapist --Lidhuin 22:01, 21 August 2012 (UTC -05)
Wood is not trade-able, but everything else is. I just come from a time when they were very strict on what they would and would not trade. --Lidhuin 11:13, 22 August 2012 (UTC -05)

Elf Trader Wrestling[edit]

So during my most recent butchering of an elven caravan I had one fight back after being cornered. The attacks were consistent with Wrestler moves, including something called a joint lock which broke an Axedwarf's shoulder and ankle upon completion. Anybody think an update to the "cannot fight back" part here?

It seems like any creature will fight back if pressed into combat, at least against the one attacking them. However, I can attest that any guards or animals you don't order killed will just stand around, pack up and leave. They won't even start interrupting your dwarves. Thing is, I don't know if the human caravan is any more proactive against fighting back when you order half their group killed.--184.21.69.62 18:11, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
