I ought to get a temple of grateful gods, considering I spend all my time cleaning up their messes.

I'm new to succession forts in general, yes, but do all forts designed by multiple overseers inevitably degenerate into a body-filled labyrinth of chaos and despair like this? Or is this just a Battlefailed thing?

There isn't much middle ground between killed-by-dragon and never-seen-by-dragon.

I know I will build fitting temples to gods in the next version.

Fire god temples (different from volcano god temples) and victory god temples will be a bit hard, though. How do you actually make a temple dedicated to the concept of victory in Dwarf Fortress, of all games ? I can skewer goblins on pikes but this looks more like a war god temple than a victory god temple.

As has been said, melted down goblinite or trophies. And any statue of dwarves striking down invaders. Maybe some caged enemies walled up in cells along the walls?

I honestly think a victory temple should be simply an old fortress. After all, you have vanquished many goblins and the fortress has not fallen...

The goblins have reached the temple of victory.  Who's turn is it to pull the lever that floods it with magma?

I have the best idea for the temple of victory:
A graveyard wherein only those dwarves who have died of old age are buried.

A Booze Stockpile would make the perfect dwarven victory temple.

Conquer the HFS and turn the whole thing into a gigantic temple.
Bonus points if you can create some sort of automated clown sacrificing machine.
