Broker dwarves will empty the banks, fill your fortress with banks, and make a bank-running operations with his banks.

"...but Urist, weren't some of those banks?"

"Lemme tell you boys something about the secrets of life and death."

"something about the secrets of life and death."

Just as evil regions can rain blood, slime and filth, good regions can be generated as candy-themed.  Gumdrops and syrup rain from the sky and trees are edible - not the fruits, the trees themselves.  These areas can be inhabited by candy people and animals.

The candy next to the fun stuff is actual candy.  Weapons and armor made out of it are as tough as currently, but dissolve in rain.  Also they can be eaten.  So you have to keep other dwarves away from your military lest they eat their weapons and armor.

Hearing or reading the term "the secrets of life and death" is now sufficient to learn the secrets of life and death.

Now you will know why you fear the secrets of life and death.

[Fikilili]

Teenage dwarves have a chance to go through a "phase" (although they claim not to be one) during which they will mostly dress in black clothes, not work, participate to popular events, read loads of book, medidate on death, suicide, corpses and murder, and attempt to fall in love with a vampire with the end goal of becoming one.
Growing up, dwarves affected by this "phase" will contemplate on their past deeds and feel uneasy or nothing.

So that means necromancers aren't evil overlords, but actually a bunch of edgy emos that hang out in towers, wight loads of books about how bad life is, and surround them selves with corpses.

This makes them less of something to be feared, but instead something you should feel bad for.

[BigUglyWorm]

New type of spellcaster: the natalomancer, polar opposite of the necromancer.  They know the secrets of life and birth, and seek to fill the world with dumb, squishy babies that they control as their personal army.

[A_Curious_Cat]

New type of spellcaste: the pinomancer.  Sits in your tavern and makes your booze disappear.

[ChaosPotato]

New type of spellcaster: the repeatomancer. Sits in your thread and continues chains of intentionally stupid ideas.

[King Zultan]

New type of spellcaster: the pineapplemancer, they know the secrets of pineapple and will seek to fill the world with pineapples that they control as their personal army.

Add bodily waste to manage in fortress and adventure mode. Because that would totally add something to the game and totally wouldn't be gross and annoying.

When a dwarf child reaches the age of 12. The child and the child's father will have a meeting. In this meeting the father will explain to the dwarf child about the birds and bees.

When a dwarf child reaches the age of 12. The child and the child's father will have a meeting. In this meeting the father will explain to the dwarf child about the birds and bees.

"...so y'see, son, bees are good cuz they make honey, which makes mead.  But birds are a mixed bag.  Most of the ones we keep are good, what with the meat and the eggs, and that covers your chickens, ducks, geese--"
"So which birds aren't good, dad?"
[extended flashback of rocs and giant keas overlaid with bird screeches]
"...Dad?"

So...

Basically, Toady One should implement new "Fashionable" weapons and armor, that provides no real benefit (and often a detriment) to the user except to be "Fashionable" and boost the player's ego.  Perhaps, services could exist to modify (e.g. by adding skirts to swords, for example) existing gear for the new fashions (maybe ruining said gear in the process).

I'm very much here for DF having absurd JRPG weapons.
"I call this one 'A Song in the Night'.  As you can see, compared to last season's model, it has 20% more pointy bits, an extra 3 feet of chain, and 5 more zippers, plus cave spider silk frippery, crystal glass baubles, and a bottle opener!"
"That's great, but how do I hold the thing?"
"Do what now?"

Though if we're honest, that's exactly what most artifact weapons are already...
