Mod out their eyes in the raws would be the easiest thing. If you really want to get into it, create a ballista-blind caste, and a reaction to transform a dwarf into it. :>

This is probably the neatest way to do it.

Blinding workshops, though. Yikes.

I really want to blind my siege operators so they won't run away, how would i do this?

You could retire the fort, get an adventurer to stab the eyes out, then retire the adventurer, and un-retire the fort.

I'm fairly sure you can't specifically target eyes in adventure mode.

it's difficult to hit the eyes when they are awake, but once you knock them out you won't miss.
Also like bumber said, you can gouge them with wrestling(though that seems to easy for the likes of a dwarf).

Moonshine.

Given that dorfs are resistant to lead poisoning etc, it wouldn't be surprising of they were resistant to methanol poisoning as well. Also, the liver preferentially degrades ethanol, so you should keep the dofs away from the regular stuff while "treated" should methanol actually work.

What a horrible idea 

Welcome to Bay 12 Forums, the coat-man will take your morality and ethics at the door.

You could make it use the surgery skill and train up your doctors!

Ok look, if you wanted to you could have the reaction cause a syndrome via insta-evaporating boulder, and only temporarily impede vision for like 3 months or something using CE_IMPAIR_FUNCTION on the eyes. Now it isn't so horrible, and everyone but me wins because I was looking forward to melting some eyeballs but hey.

I like dunamisdeos idea and second a vote of watching him lets play a blind fortress with an appropriate name

Moonshine.

Methyl- alcohol* (or incorrectly made moonshine)

Step 1: kill a large male beast
Step 2: tan the creature's scrotum
Step 3: craft a hat
Step 4: have the dwarf wear the scrotum hat
Step 5: mark the dwarf for gelding

Testicles and eyeballs are the same size, right?
