Purely by chance, the starting 7 dwarves in my newest 40.02 fortress are all female. "Huh, that's odd," I said to myself. Then I played for an hour before going to bed.

When I woke up, I had the idea that this would is a fortuitous good setup for a challenge fortress. I considered making an amazon fortress by killing any male immigrants, but I like to look after all my dwarves, and mass murder conflicts a bit with my ethos. So I ask of you, Bay12 forumites, to provide suggestions for challenges that would derive from an all-female starting group.

Females get all ammenities, males are pitted and locked away in a dirthole, with only basic food and water.
If they survive, good, if some get killed good too, their only mean of existance is reproduction for your Fort.

Careful, tantrums and ghosts inbound but that outta do the tricka nd assures survival of the Amazon fortress.

All males are imprisoned and forced to have "snu-snu" with the females for procreation purposes only. Their leader is a giant computer.

I had that once. I decided to do a 0 pt embark (no training axes), and by sheer chance, all the dwarves were female. I wonder what the first male immigrant thought when he arrived at this 'fortress' were there was a bunch of half-rabid women armed with bone crossbows and only a single barrel of booze between them.

He probably thought, "Seems like a pretty normal fortress."
