In case you missed it, with the new Partial_paint options in the Init file and turning down gfps rate (anything above 30 is practically imperceptible) it's possible to get some amazing frame rate (one person got something like 5 times, mine don't drop below 100 fps on Embark for any area less than 100 local tiles in size), so population shouldn't be much of an issue unless, like me, you just have to see if you can run a 56 tile fort.
Stealth poster, away!

56?  That's impossible.
A single local tile (on the far left of embark screen) is 48x48 fullscale tiles.
The local map (the entire far left map itself) is 12x12
Tile numbers are multiples of 48.

I meant 56 local tiles, ie, the ones you can see on the embark screen. Obviously a fifty-six tile fort would be impressive but for entirely different reasons, most of them impossible.

Which is what I thought you meant.
Still impossible.
Just that they're capped at 12 instead of being multiples of 48.

Fine, sicko.

Dig a small room in a dungeon-type area. Add a bed. Assign the bed to the dwarf you want dead. When he's in, lock the door.

Now on the floor above, channel into his roof and assign it as a pit/pond. Add a grate to the hole. Order dwarves to pour buckets of water into his cell until he drowns.

7x8=56

You can easily embark on 56 squares, not at all impossible.

This is brilliant. Actually getting the dwarves to kill one of their own comrades... I like it!

Lock the door? No.

Wait until he goes to bed, then wall him in.

From there, proceed with the water...

He said there is no water and he did not find the magma yet, still a good idea...now to adapt that to the elf traders.

Hmm...build a two tile long alcove in the wall, assign a booze stockpile to the end, then when the Dwarf goes to take a drink...wall him in.
Bonus points if you manage to brew Amontillado.  XD

For the love of Armok, Montresor...

[Axe27]

That idea is full of win.

I just dug out a room for that.
