Maybe the elves don't have access to any WAGON_PULLER tagged animals. Try removing WAGON_PULLER from all domestic animals. (hopefully you have a text editor that can do "find string in this pile of files")

==OldGenesis mod== by Deon & TomiTapio. Five wood classes, four leather classes. Nine enemy civs. So much fine-tuning.

Other than forcing the issue by not having a wagonable (or any) path betwixt depot and map-edge, you mean?

(This being the Modding discussion area I'm imagining good reasons to 'hard code it', like developing a flavour-challenge in a mod intended for other not so self-disciplined players, or else because you know the wagon will turn away and fail to carry in its load, so you want everything there on pack-animals and not lost to the failure-to-path or other wagon-specific misfortune. But I just want to be sure you're not missing the 'obvious' answer.)

No need for such radical modifications - it's enough to just remove the [COMMON_DOMESTIC_PULL] tag from any civ (entity) you don't want to be using wagons.

The primary reason Elves don't bring wagons is due to their ethics - specifically, setting the KILL_PLANT ethic to anything between MISGUIDED and UNTHINKABLE (inclusive) will prevent the entity from bringing wagons in trade, though it will also prevent them from accepting wooden goods during trade.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

I wonder, could you just remove wagons from an entity with an [ANIMAL] token that forbids all roles? They're just COMMON_DOMESTIC things at heart, I don't see why you couldn't.
