I suggest that, as a toggle, the user should be able to encourage some fun things with a limited "editor" or "god mode" command list. Essentially it would work like Sim City where you can cause various calamities to occur. It would be fun while it's in alpha, but should probably be more limited or removed entirely after the game is more polished.

Examples:

* Force a caravan, ambush, siege, war between your fortress and any other civs
* Force a dwarf to go into a fey mood
* Force a random megabeast to show up
* Force your river/magma to suddenly begin overflowing for X amount of time
* Immediately strike down a targeted dwarf
* Transform yourself in adventurer mode into a random creature

Next we can transform into Thorist McHammerLobber, the Dwarven Hammergod of Lightning.

Or perhaps summon up Hades from a chasm! He can spew hellfire and gives you +2 to con rolls if you tame him. Watch out, though. He'll set your *Giant cave spider silk socks* on fire. No one likes !!Giant cave spider silk socks!! D:

Sarcasm aside, this might be somewhat useful for allowing us to bash the game to pieces in the endless hunt for bugs. Nothing like killing the King when he arrives to see if it breaks the game, eh?

Only, I referred to it as "Sandbox Mode" and someone later decided "Wizard Mode" sounded better.

Fairly sure this is in the devnotes, too.   At least it's been hinted at by Toady previously, I'm certain.

If I could add randomly generated dwarves, and then click on them to make them explode, I would be entertained for hours.

Hell yes! 

Then you'd have booze bombs (Barrel+Booze+Extreme Heat in a square) ... and elven sieges (Make a heap of them and make them hostile)... and... I'ma gonna stop talking before I hyperventilate.

Imagine the possiblilities! <--*Gasp* Ultra secret smiley!

Dwarf Companion can do some of this.

Wizard Mode? Someone's been taking hints from NetHack.

[SocietalEclipse]

Angband uses the Wizard Mode terminology as well.  I wouldn't be surprised if other roguelikes did too.

But yeah, fully supported. I haven't checked the Devs, but I recall hearing that it was in there somewhere. It'd be GREAT for all those DF story writers and people who get bored with there fort.
