So I havent really kept up with the updates on the soon to be released version of df. Didnt he keep the history of the fort after you abandoned it? Doesnt this mean that if you get to the clowns arent they free to roam in adventure mode and possibly will come to a newly created fort on the same world? Also as it seems he just added attacking towns, can this mean that you might infact stumble upon clowns setting up a circus in town? Cotton candy for everyone.

Creating a magma pump that spews lava out on the surface and then abandoning...

I believe machinery and fluid dynamics were specifically one of the things he wouldn't be trying to keep going when you 'retire' your fort. The clowns on the other hand, he didn't mention specifically so maybe.

In the last Dwarf Fortress Talk was something about released clowns and abandoned forts. He discussed several possibilities, like he found the idea of a single dwarven fort dooming the whole world quite amusing.

It might ruin every single adventurer after though, which is quite bad gameplay wise I think.

I seem to recall him mentioning counterbalancing it with having the demons released at abandon kill each other till there was one left... whether that happens once, or once per season/year is anyone's guess.

It would be okay in my opinion if the demons set up their own fortresses, like they sometimes currently do, and you frequently ran across their minions in adventure mode, but would rarely have to go fight a demon unless you wanted to storm their fortress. That way instead of just "bandit" there would be zealots serving different demons.

Irreversibly destroying the world would also be cool though.

Aww, I hope not- I'd much prefer being able to make the whole world a terrifying hellscape.  Given how easy it is to gen a new world, breaking one with demons doesn't seem much worse to me than losing a fortress.

Who knows, hell could be what was once civilization, but being too close to the earths core caused mutation and turned everyone into husks/demons. Armok sealed up the place with magma and unbreakable(breakable)slate and the tears of armok were so vile and cruel that they melted through the earth to create adamantine spires. The new world was smoothed out above after millions of years.

Think Futurama.

Basically what I'm looking for is for there to be something in hell, perhaps ruined cities of demons/past civilizations or something interesting.
