I recently had my first unfortunate accident with my count.  And I've learned a valuable lesson.  Don't suggest woodcutters for the nobility.  Basically he wanted me to make cave fish leather items because I guess I could catch cave fish somewhere in my caves and somehow turn them into leather.  I had none on hand and since his mandates were just asking for more cave fish leather items he had to go.  I executed my fort's first criminal, some unskilled leatherworker.  He got to test the height on the goblin drop tower.

So anyway my count.  After pitting about 8 crundles into his locked bedroom and a giant rat he had killed them all.  I ended up digging a cistern under his bedroom, installing a floor grate over a pit and rerouting the river through his bedroom.  Now the count's bedroom is coming equipped with upright iron spear traps.  Just one spear per tile.  I figure I can use my count to keep my hospital staff from getting too rusty.

In the next dining hall I'm installing a similar setup with goblins.  I've got several niches in the wall which after they've been smoothed and engraved I'll wall off with glass walls, I'd do windows if I thought I could avoid the cancellation spam.  And there will be single iron spikes in these rooms attached to individual levers in the dining hall.  And that'll be the entertainment, trying to find out how many pulls a goblin can survive, then letting them heal up, then doing more pulls.

Maybe after a few years I'll come up with a way to get them out and put them in a zoo.

New project to put in my Armok Temple. Thank you!

Trying to slow down HFS to let my military get in position, I ordered all the milkers, soap makers, cheese makers, trappers... To get between the clowns and my fortress.

The worst thing I've ever done? Mod in elves as a playable race, and have them rule over the dwarves. I am currently building a gigantic glass ceiling with a lever to kill everything and hope it's enough atonement.

Edit: it was not. Time to duplicate some mods and sleep in the middle of glaciers.

Still probably the execution/segregation of all males that attempt to enter my fortress.

Probably not modding dwarves so they are smart enough to never migrate to my forts.
