So, I am running some !!SCIENCE!!, and I need elves. Lots of elves. Like, literally hundreds of elves. How can I go about acquiring these elves? I'd prefer not to have to turn invasions on, because I don't want goblin rubbish messing with my experiments. These have to be controlled experiments, or the results won't be valid. So how can I acquire hundreds of elves without invasion?

Embark in an elven capitol?

Piss them off and capture their siege forces?

I've already embarked. :C

[Urist Imiknorris]

You'd pretty much have to get them to invade. You could always dump the goblins in the magma sea so the SMR will eat the goblinite.

[Aramco]

Aw, disappointing. Oh well.

[Rushmik]

Set up two trap corridors with alternating drawbridge accesses, so either one's open or the other. One lined with meat grinders for goblins and the other coated in cage traps for your elves.

Then just flick a lever depending on who's-a-sieging.

[Aramco]

Well, I suppose I could take data on the goblin trap effectiveness, and get some double science going on.

[bombcar]

If you edit the init files to turn off invaders, will you still get seiged by pissed off traders?

Nope. That was the whole problem.

[bombcar]

I guess you could do something cheesy with savescrumming and turning invasions off right before each goblin one.

Or modify the RAWs so that goblins are elves.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Or you could use the goblin forces as an opportunity to design traps that leave no remains of any sort (magma sea drops or atomsmashers).

[Chilton]

Just make a decent Military force, and have them come out of a very secure trapdoor to kill anything that isnt an Elf. And if there are Elves, open your Main Entrance and let them walk into your traps.

What !!SCIENCE!! are you working on?

[Ottofar]

!!SCIENCE!!, obviously.

Se-cr-et. I'll give you a hint, though-- The science involves Elves.
