Challenge-Mods

I have created mods that add Challenges to the core game of dwarf fortress, by removing one feature from the game radically.
I currently have 2 completed challenges so far, each with their phoebus installed counterparts

Challenges:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

No Mining (Hard):
It removes anything that has to do with mining, metal, or the such in the game.

Leader (Who has the longest lived fort):

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

No Woodcutting (Very Hard):
It Removes anything to do with Wood-cutting and wood in the game so far.

Leader (Who has the longest lived fort):

Please leave feedback so I can improve these challenges as I make more.

Imported wood.
Strange moods.

Only Strange Moods, you cannot import wood.

Really? That increases difficulty a lot, what with how dwarves will fall asleep wherever, which in my experience tends to include places like aquifers and in front of angry giant badgers.

This is pretty cool, but you aren't being evil enough.

Beer syndromes.

Beer syndromes.

Dwarf 1 drinks Plump Helmet Wine
Dwarf 1 Turns into a husk
Dwarf 1 bites the head off brewer 1.

Better idea: Dwarf 1 drinks beer, Dwarf One becomes crazed for a short time and punches other dwarves. Or alcohol causes liver necrosis.

I could add a syndrome tag to the drinks, so when consumed they will cause the dwarf to explode.

I'm going to try the No Wood challenge. Whenever I do No Mining I usually quit out of boredom pretty fast.

Another idea for a (minor) challenge: Less Meat Challenge.

--Remove all domestic animals and creatures with PET or MOUNT. Cavies and rabbits are small enough that you might make an exception for them.
--Remove all wild, walking, non-vermin animals smaller than a dwarf. Cavies, rabbits, and the like are small enough that you might make an exception for them. Also get rid of the less-annoying birds that are still big enough to give meat.
--Give LIKESFIGHTING to most remaining animals.
--Remove PET_EXOTIC from some of the more common creatures with it.

Ramifications:
-It's hard to get meat, bones, leather, and so forth. You need to trade or hunt dangerous animals for them.
-No milk, cheese, or wool.
-No cats to protect food stockpiles from vermin.
-No guard dogs or the like.

It's an EASY challenge, but a challenge

Good Idea, may implement it.

That would be...
Horrible! Dwarven!
