If you just remove the part i removed i would be over joyed I just don't like elves Human hunters? Orc hunters? Why are they discriminated? Not that i hate it i just don't like the idea that only the enemies will have wolves Especially not that smart, that will just make it impossible to win

Then shouldn't the elves be able to call for nature's aid in battle? It would make sense following your statement that the wildlife should help the elves defend their settlements.

Perhaps but the wolves are far from wildlife, they are smarter then the common players!

Well, in that case the wolves should be a faction by themselves....now that would be awesome

Most battles bring fire, fire makes wildfires. Nature runs to the Elves for safety not war mongering.

No, Wolves are just the predators of Gaia, they feed on the other wildlife, and unprotected livestock. They are what I like to call, Super Creeps, we have 'creeps' here and there, raiders, muggers, goblins that just want to gut your army at any chance they can. But Wolves, they aren't really after your army, there after your food/meat, their trying to annoy you while eating your only food you have left in winter! A damn it those where my last cows!

Orcs also hunt deer, the Wolves are the Orc's competition in many cases, although sometimes the Wolves spook deer closer to your base only to get an arrow to the head(sometimes both the deer and the wolves )!
Overall, once you get to know the wolves, they might be the most hated unpredictable annoying creep around. They don't ruin Armies, they ruin economies. Killing them with calvary (pretty much only thing that can catch up to a fleeing pack) is so rewarding. One thing is for sure, you will be entertained by them when your trying to rebuild your stronghold after battle, all along with your army standing guard watching the Wolves feast on the rotting flesh of your enemies!

If you've ever played dwarf fortress, then you know what unicorns are capable of.

I wonder if this means hunters (food gatherers) will have to go outside the city to gather food. And if so, would it be possible to station troops outside a city to stop it from hunting.
