Burning trap

It would be good if it is possible to distribute pitch or alcohol on the floor. This could then be ignited with a burning arrow. As a further surprise for the enemy.

As mentioned a hundred times by now, fire is horrible broken. Dwarfs for example dont know how to handle fire (and do party as !!Dwarfs!! if you are lucky) so any traps that involve actual fire would be as broken as fire itself.

Also ideas like that come up often enough so please use the search engine or wait till footkerchief (resident suggestion-validating-bot) posts the correct links.

No amount of fire would save me from the Orc onslaught.

Dying on year 2 of the fortress, damn, that sucks.

You forgot the generic fluid trap suggestion, which I like because it's more generalized and makes use of the game's mechanics in a way that lets it grow dynamically as new liquids are added.
