Procedurally generated UI !
That would put end to all these criticisms Toady gets for not making game user friendly enough, because UI will be part of the game.

Sometimes you can use mouse, sometimes it is keyboard only.
Sometimes it is more visible and clear, sometimes more cryptic.

And different types of UI seeds can shared among players.

This sounds cool, it would add a new layer to the game

You have to improve UI by...discovering it's parts in fortress libraries. Some part of it will probably be revealed in WG the rest is up to you.

Even better if these are combined. Every world having its own UI libraries

Dwarves should be able to mine . . . for dwarves. Just dig them out, and they get to work.

Some professions occur as layer dwarves--Planters are sedimentary, Furnace Operators & Wood Burners are igneous (intrusive and extrusive, respectively), and Pressers are metamorphic. Gem Cutters & Gem Setters occur frequently in small clusters, and your embark may have one or more types of Blacksmith, Armorsmith, Weaponsmith, and/or Metalcrafter available, appearing in veins.

You have selected an embark with an aquifer. You may be flooded with Fisherdwarves. Continue anyway [Y/N]?

You have struck Strand Extractor! Praise the miners!

Suggestions like this are why I love this thread.

Nobles occur randomly as unwelcome inclusions in other, more useful Dwarf-veins.

A creature that can be freed by being mined out would actually be interesting as all hell. Assuming the game doesn't have that already.

This post haunts me.  What does this mean?  You turn booze and food into solid nuggets?  A food item where you eat the peel and throw away the flesh?  A staple crop that grows in reverse?  That reverses dwarves?  That comes fully grown, sprouts a plant, then shrinks into useless seeds?  WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??

Isn't that basically what clowns are?

"Foreman, I'm afraid we've dug too deeply!"
"Ye gods, don't tell me we've awoken a Balrog?!"
"No, it's even worse..."
[echoing from a distant tunnel] "Where are my resplendent sleeping quarters, peons??"
"It's a king."

This is, perhaps, the best worst suggestion possible. It's a suggestion that has no meaning at all.
