When I read the stories of other people and succession forts, there are all sorts of shenanigans going on in their forts. Meanwhile in the majority of mine, its a big siege every 6 years or so, in between which I do stupid dwarf tricks. On the side, I've colonised evil biomes with reanimating corpses (oh god the hair), built bridges over the ocean to an island, and farmed sun berries in a hell colony (after a lovely mountain sized cave-in). Why are my forts so devoid of fun?

A few tips:

1)Make sure you settle in an area that goblins can reach.
2)Turn up the wildness and beasts during world creation settings.
3)Anger civilizations by killing traders.
4)You might be able to increase the number of ambushes by letting thieves take your stuff.

I usually kill elves on sight, but their invasions are terrible XD. Megabeasts also don't really put up a fight, with single armoured dwarves being able to take down all but the toughest titans/FBs (excluding any that spit web, those are a good source of fun). I had a go at fighting the spawn of holistic, with a quarter-legion of master weaponuser dwarves, which was hilarious but bloody. I think that mods may be the right path, like the FD mod.

If you think DF is too boring, because you know how it works... try mods.

Haven't played Masterwork since V2, and I just checked it out again.
Holy hecklers you've been busy. This'll keep me busy over the new year. Thanks for your modding excellence meph!

Embark someplace with no metals or flux?

Embark right next to a tower.

There is a utility called "embark everywhere" that lets you embark ON the tower. As in: Embark on a map with necromancers and zombies. Tombs, castles, towns, all possible as well.

Doesn't the population become friendly, though?

Where might I find this utility? I feel like making my dwarfs sack a town of humans just for kicks.

I believe it's included in DFHack as a tweak.
