[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Make one of the vaults from Fallout.

[Asehujiko]

A thought police would work. Execute everybody with preferences for materials and items not available in the fort. And everybody not estatic.

Why do we use spiked balls? giant axes are more efficient.
Giant axes don't exist.
They do.
They don't.
They realy exist, i can prove it.
*trapdoor above moat with carps opens*
They don't exist, neither do you.

Make one of the vaults from Fallout.

Ooh yea. You could make one from Shady Sands (obviously desert and above ground) and Vault 13 and Gecko, or the cathedral, and and..., ooh nice idea.

Make one of the vaults from Fallout.

And as soon as the overseer mandates the contruction of a crystal glass water chip, he "falls prey to radscorpions."

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

You'd have to find a mountain though, and probably lots of iron and flux for that shiny "I'm in my retro-futuristic vault" look.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

You can pretty much just build a wall over your entrance and get the Fallout effect.

I really like the Fallout idea. It might work better if you have your people work and build up tremendous stockpiles for a couple years , then build a vault out of metal and glass and seal everyone inside of it until your resources run out. Don't pack too many weapons or use too many resources while inside the vault, don't let anyone inside the vault, and pray you aren't attacked by some goblins in power armor.

The more dwarves you can keep happy in the vault the better, but don't be afraid to put down those who would steal water.

FEV Goblin mutants D:>
Hey, perhaps that's what the ender goblins are?

[Granite26]

You could emulate Atlas Shrugged by building a normal fortress and slowly turning off labors for all the lower tier workers, then moving the richest, most legendary workers to a secret 'mini-fort' deep in the mountains.

Have to leave the economy off and have most of the dwarves with just hauler on, or not even that.

And then watch the @#@$ers starve after you lock yourself into the minifort.

I'd like to see dwarves in a fortress completely sealed off from the outside. They'd walk around with little green gems in their hands.  But when the gem starts to blink red, they have to report to the public atom smasher.  For, uh, "renewal."

Rumor has it that, though, that there's sanctuary to be had in a neighboring biome.  (However, it turns out to be just a bunch of human ruins.)

[Rollory]

A fortress where all dwarves have unhappy thoughts.  Miasma in the halls, only barracks to sleep in ... have to find a fine line between unhappy and most of the fort tantruming.  All moods will be of the murderous kind - but on the plus side, they won't be asking for materials you might not have.  Decorate everything with bone and skulls and metal spikes.  (hm, is this all that different from the usual dwarf art style?)

[cibbuano]

How about Soylent Green? Make a big 'blender' where dwarves are sent to be turned into food?

[Makrond]

No, no... you do it like this:

[Oneir]

I think this whole business could be made significantly more disturbing by just removing the [BUTCHERABLE_NONSTANDARD] tag from dwarves (and maybe other humanoids... actually, elf-kabobs might be interesting in any fortress). Or maybe adding the [trAINABLE]  (and [PET]?) tag instead (actually, do that anyways. I want to see what happens when you tame a dwarf).
