Try playing in freezing terrifying zones. You'll never be good at the game again...

I too, enjoy making a decent fortress. However, I think I'll start doing certain things (direct path in/open to caves/etc.) as well. Having a perfectly running fort that I worked hard on is fine, but I find it more enjoyable when something horrible can/does happen to it. It's even more Fun when it's unintentional.

I've always thought that the disdain for smoothly running forts is because people jump to the conclusion that a well-run fort must lack ambition. If your only goal in fort design was to make it run smoothly, that would be trivially easy. You could never enter a cavern, never dig out any candy, never use magma, never piss off a trader, never do a megaproject... so when someone hears that a fort's working properly, that's the image that springs to mind. When a fort does all those things and still functions well, that's different from what most people think of.

Also, disaster makes for a much better story.
