Your problem is that your catastrophes just aren't large enough to be hilarious.

[tahujdt]

Yeah, thats probably it. I'm either a dwarf savant or just lucky. Probably lucky. I see these posts about spectacular tantrum spirals and and epic sieges, and I wonder why that never happens to me.

Do you play vanilla or modded?

Masterwork+FD=much more difficult if you want it to be. And the FPS is better as well.

Boredom sets into the boring mind

[tahujdt]

Yes, I play Masterwork.

Yes, I play Masterwork.

Do something you'd never do. Spark a civil war by attacking dwarven caravans, try glacial embarks, try embarking into the wintery taiga with at must a couple peices of wood and a few chickens and a dog. Sky's the limit really.

As I said, I want fun, not !!FUN!!, but I don't get much of either. On the other hand, I just embarked on a town, so both kinds may yet ensue.

violence is part of the regular fun. Plus, megaprojects don't automatically mean !!FUN!! and the biome recommendations were just to challenge you.

Build a giant temple to Armok, hollow out a mountain and do your class sytem thing with that. And lets face it, if you happen upon normal fun, !!FUN!! will follow. it's inevitable.

Rather than the get bloody knuckles/build megaproject answer, I'll suggest something that always makes me more interested in a flagging fortress. Get involved with your dorfs - slow the game down and start reading through the unit descriptions, get to know their personalities. Watch them party and then think about their relationships as they make friends and enemies in the fort (some documentation on how dorfs bond and other personality trait stuff works would be great if you want to do !!science!! for the cause). Read the descriptions on the artifacts and engravings, give out a few pets. Adopt a few promising dorfs and then nurture your favourites - give them everything they could want and guide them from scrub migrants to legendary in their (your) chosen profession.

The latest content has given us alot to tinker with - necromancers, various blight clouds, werecreatures, new training, vampires (really vampires will make the game interesting - stop using the 'cheap' methods to detect them and you've got some cool murder mystery action on your hands), textile adjustments etc etc. I'm sure there's something in there you could look at too.
