Everyone knows that losing is fun. It's the inevitable conclusion of every fort, and it's often the stuff of legends that distinguishes a "meh" fort from a legendary saga of untold epicness (a.k.a. Boatmurdered). Building a gigantic fortress can be a tedious job. Seeing such a fortress crash & burn can be incredibly amusing (unless it wasn't your intention to make the fort crash & burn, in which case it's only incrediby amusing for everyone except the fort manager).
As such, it is my great honor to present a pre-built fortress, featuring lots of neat features and plenty of safety hazards, to offer the DF community a special challenge: To have the fort destroyed, demolished, crashed and burned in the most dwarven way possible (and/or impossible).
The game: Using whatever resources the map has to offer, bring the fortress to a crumbling end by killing/maddening all of its inhabitants. Record this process for all to see (screenshots and/or video) and post your method of destruction in this thread. Whoever wins the most votes in a poll gets the honor of presenting his own map for mindless destruction in another topic!
Rules: Anything can be used to kill the dwarves except intentionally making the dwarves die of starvation and/or thirst (unreachable/uncontrollable dwarves such as trapped children are exempt from this, but is considered undwarven). Modding can be used to alter hostile or to make tame animals hostile, but not to alter dwarves or other friendlies. If modding is used it must be specified.
With that said, I present my fortress,
Sprayedwheels for public demolition and violent depopulation!

Note: Giant Bats have been modded to be tameable! "fun" info:
- There is an obsidian farm and proximity to a magma pipe
- A bridge (once used as a viewing ledge for nobles) can be raised or lowered at the bottom of the bottomless pit, using a lever inside the room with many levers. (Check the in-game notes for easy identification)
- There are lots of tamed wolves, dogs and giant bats in the cages near the kennels.
- Inside the arena are 10+ caged goblins.
- There are two GCSs in the fort. One is a tamed but dwarf-bloodthirsy GCS in the zoo near the well room, the other is an untamed GCS inside the silk-generating room.
- There is a large quantity of a
certain rare ore in the SW corner of the map, which your miners would be more than eager to dig out.
- There is a sealed tunnel leading to a chasm alcove, habitat of GCS-s and other violent creatures.
- Most of the dwarves are friends with each other and gather near the zoo, well room, dining room (complete with fountain), or gobbo arena.
- The map features around 40 children so don't expect the challenge to be easy.
That being said, let the doom-ing begin! Anyone willing to take up their challenge should note their name and recording method (screenshot/video/both) prior to destroying it so you can be presented up for voting later. Remember, the more epic/diverse the destruction, the better!
