I always run into moral quandries with death-exposure training: On one hand, dropping cats into the dining room is fun, because, well, cats. On the other hand it's actually efficient.

The ridiculously over-the-top sadism of the DF community was one of its biggest appeals to me.
You guys warm my heart <3

[Dwarfy]

True indeed. This game has a massive amount of orange-blue morality; hence why I truly love it.

You can choose to use burrows in creative fashion, combining them with drop-traps, to break the spirits of all migrants and children via exposure to death and decay, leaving them as hollow slaves; I like to think that the part where they don't care any more is about when they begin to rate deaths by gruesomeness.
'That's a 9-8-10 for Urist McMigrant's death, due to that wonderful quadruple-amputation on impact but holding back with that 8 because the head is still attached to the body!'

Or, you can create an idealistic commune where all dwarfs may do all jobs, happiness is imparted en masse by grand rooms, every dwarf family has a multi-room abode, death is unheard of apart from naturally, and the use of the subsequent hordes of miners and masons permits the creation of grand megaprojects.
I have done this many a time, to surprising success; so long as you disable fishing for all, as that shit takes up everyone and nothing gets done.

And the best part?
At the end of the day, after everything, you can still create a doomsday and seal your entire population in obsidian, encased in their beloved legendary dining hall.

death is unheard of apart from naturally

Y'know... I don't think I've ever had a dwarf die of "natural" causes, apart from bugged liaisons who arrived older than dwarvenly possible and died instantly.

Battle-axes are natural, right?

[Dwarfy]

That's true from anything apart from the newest edition; used to be that dwarfs just didn't age to death in fort mode, at least without mods.
Now, though, Toady has implemented an all-new way to kill your dwarves! The usage of time!
Note- Time may or may not be wibbly or wobbly. If time wibbles or wobbles for more than 8 hours, please see your Doctor.

Also yes. Battle-axes are natural deaths. They must be, your honor, for there could be no other way that the battle-axe flew across the Barron's chamber and struck him in the head. Perhaps it was the will of the gods sir, given his near-constant requests to construct solid-gold mini-forges. Armok does not care for such silliness, after all.

I think it'd be amazing one day to create some kind of superfortress like FlareChannel. That one lasted over 200 in-game years, and had hundreds of Dwarves die of old age if memory serves correct.

I've had forts run for 50 or so. And forts with 500+ dwarves. Those are fun as heck, and when it finally goes down the tubes it's always amazing to watch. Like the downfall of civilization or something.

[Baffler]

Have you... optimized a computer for DF? Or do you just play with 0.25 FPS? Even the most minimal of my forts on computers with fairly powerful individual cores tend to slow to a crawl at around 180 dwarves.

Yes. But don't get too confident. That warmt could be magma injected by one of us into your chest.
