In the future, sieging necromancers will have a whole spectrum of destructive spells at their disposal.

The enraged, martial trance and berserker states are now "buff" and can only be bought with a in-game cash system.

-Military gets upset about having to train for a long time without fighting anything.
-All dwarves get a bad thought whenever a hostile has been on the map more than a season.
-Relatives and friends of military dwarves get upset/worried whenever the dwarf is fighting.
-Mandates to not make things (for a given time period)
-Religious figgures capable of issuing perminant mandates (effecting trading or use of certian goods)
-Dwarves getting a bad thought whenever there is a party they don't attend.
-Dwarves with low confidence and/or social skills refusing to attend parties and then getting a bad thought about it.

Lightheaded dwarves. Whenever they get sober they go berserk, melancholic or mad, for a certain period of time. They have no recollection of any damage or problems they have caused during this state.

Fixed that for ya.

Prisons should be required to have a bar of soap for the imprisoned dwarves to accidentally drop while taking a communal shower.

Isn't that one already on the list of future goals?

I actually like all of the above.

Werebeasts infiltrate unannounced, the same as necromancer/vampire immigrants. They have to be caught transforming by a witness still alive to accuse them.

Oh, totally figuring out where to mod 10 year maturity into dragons, lol. Nice.

The way I understood what you said was... Necromancer Dwarves, coming into your fortress as immigrants... That sounds like a nice idea actually. They would sneak into tombs/graves, bringing body parts into their quarters where they create their golems, to eventually unleash at the fortress in order to become the new ruler/king.

There all reasonable features but would just be annoying, probably just seemingly randomly sparking tantrums (which would actually also be reasonable if it wern't that tantruming dwarves kill people). Although the perminant non-production mandates could add an interesting challange as long as it wasn't something absolutly critical to survival/happyness. (I'm thinking maybe a noble insists say, crossbows are evil and so will have anyone punsihed/go insane if you make/buy/use any.)

Critical mistakes. Dwarf shoots with crossbow, rolls a 1 on a d20 and hits the fellow BEHIND him...or maybe the crossbow BACKFIRES! (not to mention hitting himself with a steel battleaxe)

Gunpowder weapons that explode like barrels of booze.

Fuck pumps! Treadmills for Dwarves to train/power up facilities! Build an awesome gym!

And finally: using minecarts to roll boulders on the mountainside.

Maybe I didn't take this tread as jokingly as I should, so I'll finish the post with:

The Dwarfperture !!SCIENCE!! Porthole Device. You think we're banging microcline blocks here? Fire both the portholes on the same 1x1 space and watch as the goblin masses inertia!! :P

It's treated as completely normal because this is Dwarf Fortress.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with a wall of flames, only to later realize that you're surrounded by a wall of flames.
There's nothing that can't be solved by hurling fifteen roc birds at it.

-A poor selection of clothing material types, colors, and styles (leading to uniformity amongst the dwarves) should occasionally cause dwarves to realize their insignificance as slaves in an unforgiving society, and immediately go insane as a result.

-Dwarves should track uncleanable particles of sand into their rooms after walking on sand, causing an unhappy thought every time they go there for eternity.

-If enough nobles have grudges against each other (That contemptuous champion and his Fine Tomb!) then they should attempt a coup d'etat, hijacking military squads to kill political opponents, as well as those damn craftdwarves who got away with those failed mandates.

-Unhappy thoughts from eating kittens/puppies.

Nobles can not issue work orders and make designations at will without announcing.

Urist McBaron is quiet content. He has ordered a new throne room dug out lately.
