+10% score per aquifer layer?  -20% for bridging the edges?

doomsday devices should give a large bonus depending on what they are.
eg- water flood- 50
magma flood 150
cave in on top of fort- 100
cave in entire map- 200
countdown timer to automatic activatio- 300
gremlin/beserk dwarf pulls doomsday lever so accidental activation- 500

What about, instead of walling off the edges of the map, digging out a 3-tile-wide area on all layers of the map, then dropping a floor on it to collapse all the dug-out layers into a moat?  It's tedious, time-consuming, and almost guaranteed to kill many dwarves, either from the mining or from dropping the floor.

What about siege engines?  I thought about making them negative, since they are pretty powerful, but then I realized that they're actually pretty difficult to use effectively (sometimes more difficult than just using more military strength).

+2 for keeping all your workshops cluttered to the point where they always move at exactly the speed you need (because it takes planning and stuff).
+10 for each FB/titan you weaponize (whether it's using their deadly dust as your main line of defense or using their skin-rotting syndrome to convert your military into painless zombie-dwarves).

+5 for managing to figure out a way to drop Bearded Ballistic Missiles onto Gobbos for raids.
+5 for every piece of obsidian you smite a Gobbo with.
+20 for every pigtail sock you purposefully leave out in the battlefield, to encourage your dwarves to charge into battle.

Ah, my dwarven heart beats with fierce pride for this.  I can't take it anymore!  I have to go do something profound.

-1000 for every dwarf killed by an elf (non-archer).
