[Euld]

Dragon is successfully tamed, he now lives in a small alcove next to my front gate, held by a copper chain.  Too bad I'll never get sieges on this fortress 

[Kyronea]

Wow. So here come the humies, and an ambush pops up. Not a problem; the caravan guards take them out.

Another shows up as the wagons are on their way across the map(I apparently missed yet another spot that kept them from being channeled directly into the depot. -_-) Again, not a problem.

Wagons get all the way to the tunnel within which my depot lies, and a third ambush suddenly appears. Apparently, despite the traps and the presence of my elite corps of marksdwarfs, this is enough to make the merchants say "Screw you guys, we're goin' home." Gaah.

well, there's always locking them in their rooms...

NOT DWARFY ENOUGH.

I 100% agree!  There should be magma and grates and supports and cave-ins and self initiated demise and weapon traps with 10 serrated disks!

It also needs to flood the rest of the fortress.

With clowns.

My current fortress is on top of a volcano and every time I get too many dwarves outside some imp jumps out and burns everything. Or just a few tiles, and the fire does the rest...

So I'm waiting for the entire z-level of the volcano top to burn down so I get my FPS back.

[Tuxd]

Using the dwarven heaven map, and I'm building a dam, going to flood the lower region and turn it into a lake, 3 or 4 waterwheels at the top so that it generates power. Haven't decided what I'm going to use the magma pipe for yet..

[Shrike]

The grand transitioning of stockpiles and workshops has begun; over 150 dwarves have stopped farting about in order to move huge numbers of bins from one place to another. Soon, we will be ready to destroy the original section completely.

I think it's quite obvious from the setup. Lake + magma = obsidian lake ^_^

You can't drown or burninate goblins in an obsidian lake. You could carbonite them though...

Exactly. Anyone knows if traders pay more for obsidian blocks embossed with goblins? Like Han Solo? Jabba payed hella lot for him, so I guess chubby overlords would pay for nice goblin statues. "see, it's almost lifelike! And half-price!"

I ordered engravings to be made, one next to the door of each room my mayor (Tun Armorpassed) owns.  The description of the one on her bedroom reads:

"Engraved on the wall is a well-designed image of Tun Armorpassed the dwarf and purring maggots by Urist Mishoskikrost.  Tun Armorpassed is surrounded by the purring maggots.  Tun Armorpassed looks terrified."

Guess what animal Tun hates.  And now needs to go to bed looking at.

I've heard that dwarves will have negative thoughts of sleeping in rooms with animals that they detest.

Be prepared for an unhappy noble.

And do help improve the knowledge in whole by proving/disproving this, preferably with screenshots where recent thoughts reflect on the room's status.

[Sphalerite]

While my Baron was dealing with the representative from the mountainhomes, the human and elven diplomats showed up at essentially the same time.  The elven diplomat went straight to the fortress meeting room and hung out there till the baron was free.  The human diplomat for some reason spent most of the season standing where he appeared on the map before finally getting up and going to see the baron.  I had to send soldiers out to keep him from getting killed by ambushes while waiting.

The elven ambassador was very concerned that we not cut down any of the non-existent trees in the waterless desert surrounding the fortress.  I resisted the temptation to throw him in the crocodile pit.

She does have a "slept in a poor room lately" thought, but I'm not sure if that's from sleeping with the maggot carvings or from sleeping in her husband's tiny bedroom.

[Innominate]

A dwarf's likes and dislikes will affect their valuation of the quality of the room. So a dwarf who likes microcline will love their room filled with microcline cabinets, whereas your poor mayor's engraving might actually subtract from the apparent value of the room (I'm not sure whether it subtracts, or just becomes a smaller positive value).
