So, after some of this stupid troglodytes have killed a few of my dwarves (A blacksmith and two fisherdwarfs), I need some plan to find vengeance for the dead dwarfs.
Yeah, there ist the possibility to drop them from a tower, or the let them fight in my arena, etc. But I want to do some really bad shit with them.
I have a magma pipe on my map, so this I can do some bad things.

Another question, will Troglodytes breed? I want some of them, so I can have fun with their kids as well.... they have to suffer more than one generation 
It seems that Ratmen and Antmen don't breed, because after 7 years, I found a bottomless pit, full of Antmen und Ratmen bones, but no living humanoid. The Trogs still live in their caves in the chasm, but the animal men are all dead......... what could happend to them?

Don't be so vengeful, or Armok will take revenge on you!
In fact, you should be praising Armok right now for the fact that he didn't take more of your dwarves!

[Tigershark13]

I'd personally build a special arena, over the chasm, which at the pull of a lever will collapse, and then make an initiation rite for peasants and soap makers, that they must defeat the trogs, once they've killed saaayyy... 10 of your soap makers, collapse the platform and imagine the look of fear and pain as they fall (or alternately once they become too injured to fight) or

you could capture all the troggies, and put them in a special pit with grates above it, and hten one by one bring them to the surface to fight your dwarves, showering their fellows in the blood of their friend!

i dont think animals breed outside captivity but im not sure, you can always check the raw if troglodytes can make kids.

[martinuzz]

I'm quite sure that sentient populations of underground features do not repopulate (yet) in the 3D version.
In the 2D version they used to spawn from the chasm indefinitly, until you 'redlined' it (filled the chasm with magma)

Wild animals can breed. I once had a fortress population torn apart by several generations of wild hippos.

It was horrifying.

It was horrifying awesome.

fixed it for you

I suggest a Doomarium
drop tower + shark pool +  windows for your dining dwarves to view the glory of Armok

what's that, you say you have no sharks?  Has Armok not given you their teeth?

when Armok gives you menacing spikes, make mechanical sharks!

[Phazer]

argh, something similar happened to me, as i am playing with civ forge i got violet xelics also know for ambushing.
anyway they killed like 7 of my dwarves but ive captured 15 of em so im gonna do something terrible evil to them.

[Urist McManiac]

Have anyone an idea what happend to the Rat/Antmen? Cause it seems that troglodytes, lizardmen, frogmen and all that Underground river-stuff breed, because they have lived for years now, unlike the Bottomless Pit-Monsters.
I've captured a ratman, but he died in his cage after a time. And as I said, the ratmen in the Pit are dieying one after eachother.

Make a checkerboard.

Half pressure plates.

Half upright spike traps.  Put only one for each tile if you want it extra suffery.

Link one to another in a random fashion.

Wall the area in.

Drop trologdytes in there.

Watch them perform a dwarven rendition of the movie "Cube".

[Aldaris]

Floor over the chasm-pit, wall of the edges right up to the top-surface, make a small permanent magmafall.
Make them watch as the blood of armok, the dwarven fire, the fluid earth itself incarnated into firery death slowly creeps up to their level, while to stink of their kin from a level down chokes them.
I think I´m becoming a half decent Df player after all....

Make a troglodyte incinerator. Put them inside cages, install the cages into a pressurized magma chamber (use magma safe screw pump and floodgates for input, atom smasher or a chasm for output), link them up to a lever with bauxite mechanisms. Seal the chamber, open the cages remotely and pour magma over your offerings to Armok.

Optionally laugh like a maniac while doing this  .

Just be sure to let them out of the cages first. If you use wooden cages and don't open them first, the cages will burn and all the creatures will get teleported to the place where they got caught... this can be a good thing though... somehow

They do?
Interesting...

I recommend throwing spare kittens in the area where the bones are.  In my experience, there's a good chance that a Giant Cave Spider will eat them.

Animal men don't live long IIRC.
What is the message if there is any?
