now I'm just imagining this grizzled, one-eyed war veteran kobold sitting in a bar raving about
the day THE ALLIGATORS came...

Glabudish! Kribalut harba naknash, rablutar Jreengus!

Just found a town that is constantly being besieged by Groundhogs and Macaques. There was also a wolf pack that tore a couple of children into human chunks, but they seem to have moved on.

I just noticed that dwarves who throw tantrums and throw stuff around gain throwing skill. I never knew that throwing skill even existed in Fortress Mode! Sadly, it serves no practical purpose except for your tantruming dwarves becoming more dangerous.

Edit: Also, you can check how many dwarves are still sane by going in the (m)ilitary menu. Only the sane ones are available there.

It's a shame that constructions are indestructible.
Because I just noticed a temple made entirely of lignite. And it's just terrible that I can't light it up. ::)
...Wait, are temples natural or constructed...? If I remember correctly, it's engraved... :-\... :o... :)...
If you'll excuse me, I've got a temple to a healing god to try and ignite.

I'm curious what the barely conscious ai wrote about.
Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

Sadly, natural walls/floors can't catch fire either.

The floors are constructed, the pillars and walls are natural.

I'm pretty sure Lignite and Bituminous Coal can.

A sink hole on one of my old maps. It was incredibly wicked. The entire valley had a ginormous chasm at the center, with water flowing into it some how, a couple of brooks. Not flooded though. Anyway. I added magma from a nearby magma pipe to the mix, I wish I still had the map... /sigh. If I ever find another I'll post it.

It'd probably not light up in the same way that trees on fire don't light up trees next to them.

Just replace all the pillers with solid walls of supports of same material.

Light one end.

Laugh maniacally.

Christ, are you dwarves or are you elves? If you think Hell has too many demons, then you kill them till the population reaches an acceptable number.

They are the things that never got name dand never did anything, so she basically married a wolf or a werewolf or something.

Actually, I think they're normal people who didn't do anything noteworthy and got removed by the "Cull unimportant historical figures" worldgen setting.

i cant seem to find the option

DF main menu -> advanced world with parameters -> enter custom parameters.  Then generate a new world with that parameter set.

I'm pretty sure there IS a video of this. Or at least screenshots.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.
