We have a throwing skill, a misc object skill. We can mod in our own ranged weapons and ammo. Has anyone been able to make a grenade like weapon, or perhaps a magma-safe flask with magma inside that breaks and covers the enemy in lava?

Seems like it would be easy enough to make some sort of grenade using adventure mode reactions. Maybe have a reaction to create a grenade and then another reaction to prime it. Fortress mode would be more difficult, but I think you could get a reasonable approximation if you gave your dwarves a modded version of the magma crab's rock spitting attack.

Fluids are not moddable, so no magma...

Grenades are in theory possible, with boiling stones that use syndromes. I use the same system for landmines. The problem is that the throwing skill is not used in fortress mode.

What you can do is give a metal a syndrome, make a bolt out of it, and let it melt at body temperature. If the bolt hits a target and you read this: Bolt has lodged firmly in the wound, then the bolt is in the body, get heated up, melts, and affects the creature with the syndrome. I use this for special ammo.

Proper grenades are not possible as far as I know. The only thing you can do is make an exploding pet, called grenade with an exploding itemcorpse, and throw it down a pit, with the pit/pond command. If you build a murderhole above your fortentry, and the enemy is below it, you can throw your pet-grenades at them.

I guess you would have to use grenade launchers then in fortress mode?

What happens if it dies of old age in a cage?

Throwing skill is used in fortress Mode, [FIREBREATH] Tantrums and ranged weapons that use the throwing skill for ranged attacks. But still making some dwarven gernades for my squads that they could throw before combat would be epic "Frag Out!"

[Ultimuh]

Just immagine the collateral damage!

You would probably end up with a live grenade stuck in the cage that went off the moment you took it out of the cage.
