Well there was that one time a while ago I turned my blind Dwarves into Fortress guard super soldiers...
Plains titan shows up, mobs my uber military, uber military kill it no prob, but half a dozen are now covered in poison. Swell up like balloons, but since I have a team of legendary wound dressers, diagnosticians and what-not on standby 24/felsite, I end up with a new squad of blind legendary Guardswarves, a warrior-mayor and I find out that these blind dwarves follow my orders down to the bone. Stopped them from blocking and parrying a lot though... Still, being dwarves, they blindly hacked everything that moved to pieces.
YAAAAAY REVERSE DEVASTATION!!!!
Ah, happy times.
I did try to make super Dwarves through selective breeding, but ultimately that one failed. I don't think I updated it but the findings were that beyond physical appearance genetics do not win over military training when it comes to raising attributes.
It'll pretty much be lover most of the time.
^^^Just do that
A one night stand gone wrong..
"WHY WON'T YOU CALL ME?!!?"
"I'M ONE BLOCK AWAY YOU COW."
yeah, but that ruins the point of my entire experiment, raising a supersoldier.
but, maybe if alpha becomes crippled, her and beta can crank out kids for me.
There's not much benefit, although I guess any benefit is a good one. Basically I tried a Eugenics fortress, turns out Dwarven genetics work something like this:
Eye colour and skin colour are carried onto the child (all of my Dwarves were from the same race sadly, could not test with mixed parents)
Physical attributes are carried onto the child, rounded closer to average (bad skills become more average, ditto with good)
Body appearance like fat/muscle/skinniness appear to be carried on, but having parents with two different builds can throw this off a lot. I'm going to hazard a guess that it's random.
Mental attributes appear random.
This one's credited to Gizogin for putting in the modding effort

On topic, I like to go for the coup de grace insta-decapitation. I did once manage to completely reduce an elf to just a torso and a head, which was awesome.
Something about Antmen.
So here at Bay 12, and DFers in general, like to kill things. Lots of things. Lots of ways.
But occasionally DF plays it's trump card; something small, something vulnerable. Something that you would normally kill and probably eat, catches your heartstrings and never lets go. You fall in love with a tiny, lowercase letter, and you actively work to save it's little life and if possible, integrate it into your fort.
We all know they happen. Cacame is one case, and looked how he turned out. We have hundreds of threads about dwarves slaughtering thing, we can stand one thread about the nice things.
So, forum, what've you saved lately?
Well I modded antmen queens to lay eggs (someone said that they did this and in adventure mode millions of them rushed him and things got FUN)... And locked them in a pen where they pumped out A LOT of ant serf babies.
The babies then go into a holding chamber, where gobby snatchers always find their deaths...
And the babies grow up into war antmen.
[I stopped doing this after one of my Forts fell to a great swathe of wild antmen]
My Dwarf doctor used unorthodox techniques to encourage patients to leave his hospital...
My best one is of a tail of Orim Erithadim, the (slightly more) mad doctor. I had EVERYONE in training, and the children had massive kill gauntlets to go through. I knew the training had no effect other than ROOTING OUT THE WEEK and making parents unhappy, but watching them plummet 20~ is extremely satisfying. ANYHOW, Orim, mad arse doctor, fixes up some unlucky dwarf, goes to pick up a sphalerite BOULDER, goes into a rage and throws it at the poor dorf hobbling his way out of the hospital pit.
The sphalerite boulder caves in his skull.
Many lulz were had, and mad doctor Orim was given many promotions. And soap. Lotsa soap.
Holy carp!!!
"DON'T! FORGET! YOUR! PILLS!!!!!!! ARRRRRGHHHH!!!!!!"
On review my grammar was terrible back then. Sheesh.
Embarking on a lair and waiting till a captured minatour freed itself and picked up a masterwork steel battleaxe!
Yeah that was an unintentional weaponization, that is summed up with this one quote of what happened to each miserable failed embark attempt:
Minatours are a joke until they're armed... Then they become naked gods of war.

Generally, when one is conducting an experiment, it is worth noting that the observers went insane, killed each other, and then rose from the dead.
The utilizing of undead curing techniques to increase meat and fat yields in livestock without the need of animal husbandry.

Hooray!
Massive scary traps to catch Titan sized creatures. Overly complex and gratuitously unnecessary with the advent of simple water triggered door traps, but Fun nonetheless.
WARNING!
What follows is a massive wall of text, based around the premise of constructing pits to trap cyclopean creatures. If at any time you experience symptoms of sudden death, stop reading.
You have been warned.
Sol, the world generated in .31. This is no longer possible I believe with a better world gen system, but it was a great way to vaporize some Dwarves while it lasted.

Derp derp everyone is on fire.
There are 1000 types of Titans, Demons and Night Creatures as well. Plus, minerals are pretty much non existent in the world.
RULES:
- Multiple reclaims are allowed.
- You can embark anywhere. The place with the lowest temperature I found was somewhere where the booze and water boiled on embark. The hottest part was actually hotter than magma and incinerated everything within a few ticks.
- Survival is possible. I'll give you a clue: Mass dog farming and aquifer reserves.
- Limit your exposure to the sun to a few ticks at most. Your first embark will no doubt vaporize. Forbid the corpses, those will vaporize too, and you don't want to waste Dorfs going after those. Also, Yaks appear to be resistant to burning. If you made them pets, you could feed them and have a sustainable yak hair/baby yak meat industry.
Also, forget rivers. Those vaporize on embark too.
- Admiring the apocalypse is optional. Rivers of magma and boiling rain are a common feature.
Difficulty: 9
*Note, some few did actually survive by rushing into and living in the caverns.

Who can forget Aussie guy's checkerboard?
Ladies and Gentledwarves, i present a new boardgame that you can play in your own mountainhomes - Dwarven Checkers!
That turned from that, into this.
Good point, Loud Whispers. By taking over Hell, Aussie is now the HFS.
A certain word that begins with M, credit to everyone who's every played DF ever.
This story is why I only flood with...
You know what.
MMMassive amounts of deadly chemicals?
MMMMMMMonstrous amounts of booze? What could he possibly be talking about? We will never know.
MMMMMMMAAAAAde up material?
MMMMMMMAAAAAAAGnanimous donations?
MMMMMMMAAAAAAAGic wand?
sorry, couldn't think of anything starting with "magm"
MMMMMMMAAAAAAAGMMMMMMortars custom trained by Ash Ketchum?
MMMMMMMAAAAAAAGMMMMMMI got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said, "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in the Circus." I whistled for a carp and when it came near the License plate said "FRESH" and it had a dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this carp was rare but I thought nah, forget it, yo homes to the Circus!
Meanwhile in Aussie land
This Doren wields and Adamantine Pick and Iron Spear. I used to be afraid of the demons. Now i just send her in and they're dead in a few moments.
A Dwarf who got used to slaying the limitless hordes of the underworld for funsies.
This one for context was Cabbagetroll's unintentional side effect of making his Dwarves need no nutrition or sustenance of any kind. He had a couple of insane Dwarves constantly rearing children in some unforgivable hell hole. Terrifying.
SO, through a fun turn of events, people were thrown in jail and the entire fortress guard was sealed in the caverns to deal with the FB menace. Two of my incarcerated dwraves went insane; one is a babbling fool and the other is incredibly morose. I immediately released all other inmates manually to avoid further madness. The two that are incarcerated... continue to give birth. My dwarves need neither eat or drink, so while these poor souls' husbands yet live, they will eternally produce children for my fort.
Yay!
