Wine cellar would be cool. It could also be an animal training zone, or room for tombs. It could be an artifact vault, maybe. Or you can install a weapon rack and make it a sparring area. Could you put archery targets in?

Monarch came, was a vampire, got Hammered, died of infection, no heirs :( .  I think (?) that's why I don't get migrants anymore.  Mayor is now in very unnecessarily nice and artifact-filled rooms.

aaa that's cool

Step one.)
Build 50 nestboxes, and put them in the room.

Step two)
Put all the ameneties that a noble could ever possibly require inside.

Step three)
Install the noble, and seal them in.

Step four)
Create a dropchute from the room above.

Step five)
DROP THE TURKEYS.

**bonus points for turkey delivery chute being directly over the top of the noble's bed, and delivered while said noble is sleeping.

If it can be arranged to have the room purpetually at 3/7 depth water, and routinely spawn miasma and vermin, all the better.

You want Urist McNoble to be torn between the lovely engravings and fine furniture of the room, and being traumatized continuously by overbreeding turkeys, rancorous odors, standing festering water, and being overrun with vermin.

In short, you want him to feel "fine" today, and every day, until he snaps.

Dwarves won't become lovers if they're more than ten years apart. Unfortunately there's no way to sort dwarves by age, so you'll have to pick out a female dwarf who can be safely followed by children and then go down the unit list until you find a suitable partner.

Then you lock them in a small room with food, drink, and a 1x1 meeting area until they get bored enough to marry.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

Hidden beneath rusting weapons was a mass of assorted bones. An elf, a goblin, even an ogre. All just waiting for someone to walk by and notice them, like some kind of land mine of horror.

Make one an arena:  rig it so that you can seal the exits with a switch, create a chute above from which to drop in goblins, and either fill it with interesting beasts (giant snakes from the elves?  GCS?), or station your military there whenever you're ready for a round of executions.

If you go the war beast route, be sure to strip the goblins before tossing them in.  If you're using soldiers, it matters less.

Install a load of chains and use it as a prison area to keep your sentenced felons happy while incarcerated.

It's a dwarf.  Their natural habitat is "trapped on the wrong side of a wall".

Flinging children halfway across the map to land in magma is good, wholesome fun, but extramarital reproduction?  Why, that's just unseemly!

Fill it with coffins and fill the coffins. Giant graveyards are cool.

<-- Has no idea what just happened.

He likes gold, native gold, trees that are made of gold, and tungsten. He likes cats for their haunting meows. He needs dwarf fortress to get through the working day. When possible, prefers to consume Potatoes, cheese, cow milk. Absolutely detests elves. And spiders.
