lotsof good ideas here, nothing with the spikes though.

I want a bloody gorefest! the drawbridge idea with the lever on the far end was really good though. and quite easy to build. Since the bridges become walls when standing up its quite easy to make a walled in room and pit other sacrifices in it. say with grates on the public end so that they can enjoy the view of those who are going to die for them.

There is, unfortunately, a problem with that design.

Bridgeapults no longer have half the strength they used to.


Nowadays, you're lucky if you can fling a dwarf two or threes tiles, and you can forget about gory explosions resulting from that little phht.

And I'm pretty sure they only fling on one z-level.  Not that one could tell, really, since there's so little power behind it.

Idea for astheatics: Fill the waterfall acess tunnels with spikes and dump an animal in once every season while having the spikes on repeat. If you recycle the water(pumping it back up again instead of letting it flow away) you can have a permanent bloodfall.

As for execution:

code:

                  V
################## #####
               ~*****&&+
               ~#####&&#
        -=] T# ~#####&&#
##############~~~~~~~&&#
########################
# wall
V animal dumping spot
~ water
* water with spike traps
& screw pump column(abstracted)
T target
-=] balista
+ water refill

nice one... might try to think of a way of letting the dumping be done on the lower level. Like a hole in the altar, a pit, a grate surrounded cavern below with repeating spikes and circling the waterfall through that. now I just need to invent a way to let dwarfes jump down there. Preferably my duke consort (with an avrage of 15 mandates for aluminium a year, something I dont actually have on the map. I have to trade for all of it. Also just noticed that the queen owns a total of 16 objects, and the duchess 111 objects... fucking greedy..

On the catwalk...

code:

 ccccccccccccc fff
++++++++++++++++++
.................+ n
^RRRRRRRRRRRRR+L.+ n
.................+ n
++++++++++++++++++
 ccccccccccccc bbb
L - lever - on the time of execution, dwarf to be sacrificed is instructed to pull the lever.
All others are banned from using this lever. 
Doesn't need to be connected to anything. 
Alternatively you could dump the lever and just draft the dwarf and station it where the level should be.
R - Restricted traffic area with spikes
^ - Pressure plate that operates on citizens and triggers the spikes
. - Channel of crimson BLOOD!
c - seats for spectators
n - seats for nobles
b - bookies take bets here how far will victim get on the catwalk
f - burgers and beer

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.
