What this game really needs is better user accessibility. Toady should stop writing it in C and redo it within an Excel spreadsheet, complete with graphical display. FPS will take a hit, but you'll be able to edit the code in-game between iterations. What's not to love?

When your fort hits 50-year mark, moss should start growing on exposed stone block constructions.

I will say no more 

Moss already seems to start growing on marble furniture after some time.

lol! ok you joked about it but theocratic socialism existed 5,000 years ago among the Sumerians.
All deliver everything to the temple and it distributed to all in equal parts.
This features could really be added to diversify human civilizations.

After each adventurer dies or is retired an epic D&D 3.5e campaign is generated for every action they took till death including breathing.

Unarmed should get a buff that lets you wrestle literally anything.  Piledrive a rock into gravel.  Joint lock the limbs off a tree.  Put a wooden chest in a sleeper hold.  Choke slam a barrel into the dirt.
 Suplex an entire mead hall.  Who needs pickaxes when you have a dedicated team of wrestlers who really hate rocks?

Isn't every player-owned Dorf Fortress communist, though? Even if barter value exists, there's no money, and if the player prints money, it serves little to no purpose. And aside from the nobles ruling party, every dwarven bedroom is the same, every dwarf eats at the same dining room without paying anything, every job is assigned according to the current needs, and the means of production are controlled by the local government.

TL;DR: Dwarf Fortress is a game about (working) communist theory.

We'll be getting various forms of corruption pretty soon, so I guess it'll also be a game about communism-in-practice.

Communist fortress, is best fortress.

Dwarfs = Communism
Elves = Anarcho-primitivism
Goblins = Fascism*
Humans = Monarchism

*If you're willing to ignore that they're willing to kidnap and integrate other races' children, and not just tear them to pieces.

ok, the whole real world is communist!!

Jokes about communism aren't funny unless everybody gets them.

It goes a long way toward explaining Marx's huge, glorious beard...
