idea but not sure if its possible...

Dunno if anyones tried it, but would making a fortress race that lives under water have massive path finding issues?

umm I am about to attempt something similar, a race living in lava. Similar so it may answer your question. I'll let you know how it goes.

well I have a race that is fireimmune and all that but they won't walk into lava, I would assume you would have the same problem with water.

This cannot as of yet be done.  I had a dream once where it worked, though.  There was an entire town flooded with magma inside the magma pipe.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

You know the community has tetris syndrome when they're dreaming about dwarf fortress...

..I dream about DF, too..

Well treat me like the disease like the rats and the fleas, A-ha-ha! A-ha-ha!
Well treat me like the sea oh so salty and mean, A-ha-ha! A-ha-ha!
Let's shake hands if you want but soon both hands are gone, A-ha-ha!
Cut me down like a tree like the lumber or weeds, well discard who you please like the leaves off a tree. Drag me out of the sea and then teach me to breath. Give me forced health till I wish death on myself. Ah! Ha! Ha!
March on! March on! March on! March on! MARCH ON!

A deep-one fortress would be awesome, the traders would be problematic though.

Rename "Open Space" tiles to "Deep Underwater" tiles. Yay underwater.

Bonus points: Give dwarves flying so they can 'swim'

I know, I was being facetious. Really its not currently possible, as water is hardcoded as 'dangerous terrain' above a certain depth. You can make them not drown, or air drown, but they'll always be afraid of water.
