  I want a dwarf Fortress Tower Defense game.

  All the mechanics for DF mechanisms and water/magma same as in the game, except what you make has to fit the maps, and you have a dwarf labor budget to install the mechanisms.

  Imagine Dwarf Fortress meets Tower Defense meets Fantastic Contraption.

Just build a a narrow and winding entrance to your fortress, and place traps and dwarfs with crossbows throughout them. Close enough, right?

Trapavoid creatures and Elite bowgoblins.

FUN right?

Yes. Apply watery death to Elite bowgoblins.

Fortress defence mod already does this.

Hrm, I thought that Fortress Defense mod was a Dwarf Fortress mod, not a Tower Defense game?

how would you build mechanism? and dig tunnels? the more feature you add, the more it seems like the standard dwarf fortress with more seasonal sieges 

but I don't dislike the idea of a counter toward the next siege and a remaining enemy/next wave on some menu

Most tower defense games have a node with health, and you get resources of some sort for killing stuff.

I figure, you collect goblinite from enemies for resources, but you could also get a dwarfpower counter for resources based on the health of your "base".  Goblinite + dwarfpower = points to build with.

Tunnels though, I'd say tunnels should be game-generated.  It's your job to figure out how to build traps and walls inside the tunnels.  A lot of tower defense games allow you to put up walls to channel enemies where you want them.

Technically, the game "Dwarfs!?" has a tower defence mode.  I haven't tried it much, but it might be sort of what you are looking for.
