-When making Dig designations near adamantine, floors and walls have flashing numbers on them indicating how many adjacent tiles will breach the circus when mined out, a la minesweeper.
I want that, actually. It would make it so much easier to predict when to release the clowns.


-Prague can arrive at the fort by merchants. Infection works by spores.
 

I guess that's one way to do a lot of construction in a short time, provided that you like gothic architecture and can deal with the tourists.

That's what I was thinking too. It's a nice place though
And can you fleece the tourists while they're at your fort? :D
Only those that are defined shearable in the raws.


Anyway.

- Hunting and capturing and taming wild wagons
- Animals don't only steal wheelbarrows/minecarts, they also load them full of stuff they found lying around before they leave
- Burrowing animals (e.g. rabbits and badgers) should be able to dig tunnels into your fort too
- Make kea a war animal. War keas would fight by dropping anvils, statues and other shiny lightweight objects on invaders
- Dragons (the full megabeast variety), giant pythons and such need an eat-whole-dwarf attack. Extra bonus: angry military dwarf should be able to hack his/her way out
- Sun tan: outdoorsdwarfs would get darker (especially in tropical biomes), cavedwarfs would get paler
- Dwarf solariums, just avoid getting grate lines
- Leather / bone instruments
- Dwarf music and bands performing in meeting rooms, you can focus on the band to listen
- Menstruation for she-dwarfs: a monthly pool of blood if not pregnant, causes bad thought
- "Hydra" world zones that makes severed limbs grow back with an evil duplicate

VIPs visit with ridiculously small pet dogs and issue mandates for mw furniture and food and then leave before you get it all done, shouting at you that you're a lousy host

-Combat should be quicktime event driven, requiring player input for sparring, regular combat, nanny goats kicking their newborns, etc.

-Straightedges, pencils, planers, various types of saw, nails, hammers, and glue should be required for every crafted wood product.

-Dwarves should have a random chance of going insane each tick, independent of happiness or profession.

-Mid-life crises.

-Some immigrants should speak a different language, unable to be ordered to do anything or have their labors changed until they assimilate in a few years.

Ichor should give godlike effects when drunk. Effects vary depending based on the creature the ichor was extracted from.

- Goblins and beasts can get bad thoughts and start throwing tantrum or just leave your site, so you can fight them with miasma or offensive engravings.
- Every dog or other pet is trying to jump inside a moving minecraft.
- Merchants drop all kinds of trash on the floor of trade depot (paper, rotten food, body fluids, etc) and next caravan will complain about dirt, if you don't clean it.
- Merchants can throw a party.
- Power Generator connected directly to your FPS-counter.
- Dwarves work only if you look at them.

Doesn't it already work that way?
Oh, wait, my bad, it doesn't. They don't go back to work when I'm looking at them either.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

In order to promote realism, all fantasy creature (including dwarves) are removed from the game. The game is now called Human Village.

Everybody dies of waste elimination issues (burst bladder, etc) about a week in, because Toady isn't implementing creature waste.

Clowns are now actual clowns. HFS is now HFS, instead of !!HFS!!, literally. It has hidden presents under the now mineable slade that gives you a tame war clown, that kills your foes with balloons.

They are still as dangerous; however.

Seconding this, the idea of some lawful being(s) showing up to make my dwarves answer for their crimes is quite appealing.
