Boredom indeed.

Sometimes I let fun take it's course, but the end of my fortresses now is usually the dreaded Suppr key.

Hate it when that happens. This is actually the reason I started using DFhack, it's great for fixing most of those small mishaps without having to start all over. The OCD DF player's best friend!

FPS Death, usually.  My forts are usually pretty solid defensively and I keep myself occupied with tons of little projects... which eat FPS.   :-\

Taking the circus out is actually pretty easy with cave ins, FB's don't usually get into my fort unless I let them, etc.  Sure, I could make it more exciting by... you know... just having a door be the only defense from the cavern layer or something, but... seriously?  They're dwarves.  These are the kind of engineers who carve out, then reassemble, the ceiling so that when you hit a pressure plate tons of rock fall on you.

Then they dig it out and reset it.  *shrugs*

I'm probably going to mod my plantlife shortly for seriously long growth times (1/2 crops per year), just so that food and booze isn't an overflowing mess and is a challenge when you want to have half your community members in the military.
