War with elves is a dangerous prospect indeed.  You shall watch in horror as your best dwarves get bruises again and again, and your stockpiles fill to the brim with -Rope Reed Fiber Sock- and -Cedar Buckler-.

Can't... resist... must... sig

This morning I found myself looking at the numberplates of the cars on my drive in to work and seeing them as tileset characters in ASCII... a silver Renault I was behind had an interesting scene of a Human wrestling a Minotaur near a bin.

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.

Sorry, for a moment there I forgot we were all psychopaths.

Someone who has random urges to make mog juice isn't exactly going to care about the cost effectiveness of obtaining it.

It's much FUN to kill a siege, cage all their animals, then train them to turn and attack the next siege. Take that treehuggers! Nature isn't so nice now is it?

Make-believe is also "FUN", seeing as how you can't tame animals used as mounts by elven invaders.

Offer their Merchants wooden goods to piss them off.
Then kill their Merchants.
Make a bunch of axes (you'll need them anyway!), make everyone a woodcutter and deforest the whole map.
If they send someone to impose a woodcutting limit ignore it (do they actually do that? I read about it but so far I haven't seen it).

Real diplomacy isn't yet implemented :/
I don't think they send the diplomats any longer. In fact, I think they stopped around the same time their placeholder forest retreat things were removed. So... Chances are, they'll be back to threatening us for cutting down trees and/or mushrooms in the future.
You have to mod them back in,(Diplomats, not retreats), there is a thread about that somewhere.....
