And none of them help! How do I mass execute these children and babies that do nothing? I can't maintain a food supply for 200 dwarves.

[Kilroy the Grand]

Feed them to your necromancers, that is what I do.

[Heedicalking]

How do I get necromancers? I am still kinda new :/

and what do the necromancers do?

[Loud Whispers]

They find you. Or you find a tower. Just throw the babies off a cliff into a pit full of serrated discs or something *
*Complex flooding system may be required.

[Talvieno]

Children farm. Always have, as far as I know. Or at least, they did in the previous release. They should in this one too. Also, haven't I seen a thread like this already?

[Heedicalking]

how would i manage to throw them off? i have a pretty tall tower

[Loud Whispers]

Flood them away from their mothers. From there, meeting zone designations over a retractable bridge that only the children can reach.

Then tell one of the mothers to pull the lever.

Has to be one of the mothers. Preferably the mom with the most kids. Otherwise it'll have a slight risk of starting a tantrum spiral. See, if it's the mom doing it, then the mom can't get mad about it.

Clear glass windows overlooking the bridge required. And make all the Dwarves stand behind the windows and watch. That way, the children aren't missing

[Heedicalking]

Alright, I have the bridge going off the tower, now how do I get the children to go up there?

[Broseph Stalin]

1.Dig into the caverns.
2.Construct floor tiles in caverns.
3.Assign adult dwarves to burrows that exclude caverns.
4.Order the floor tiles deconstructed.
5.Seal the caverns.

The children live in the caverns now.

[Talvieno]

I would say burrows. If you're feeling really dwarfy, you could make them all walk onto a huge platform which the moms could rip the support from.

This. *wide eyed, screwloose grin*

edit: It would probably be best if you sealed them as deep as you possibly could, if you take this approach...

Temporarily stop all jobs. Burrow all adult citizens away. Make an active meeting zone there. Make sure it is the only active meeting zone. Stop any animals going.
Enjoy the raining corpses.

You know, if it's high enough, you'll have awesome bodypart fireworks... literally. I used to drop trolls from 20 z-levels up... they exploded with their cyan blood smearing all over the place and arms and legs (and even fingers) flying around.

[Old Greg]

With Broseph's idea, you even get the added benefit of them exploring the caverns!

There are hundreds of ways to dispose of unwanted dwarves. Lock them in rooms filled with traps, captured goblins, feral animals... Hell, just lock them in a room and wait for them to starve (though that's boring). Just be careful of tantrum spirals from the bereaved parents.
