I just now thought of a feature that would be kinda neat. Suppose if you had an unskilled engraver, every one of his engravings would be a standard name and then "Engraved on the wall is an unintelligible scribbling by Urist McSuckyengraver."

Just an idea.

I think unskilled engravers already stick to simple shapes and such.

My stray dogs often chase fire imps back into the magma pipe and then continue fighting while burning and drowning in the lava. Truly their loyalty knows no bounds, but perhaps it should.

Yeah, all I really want to be able to engrave a tomb after the owner is placed in it, and have the images be of him

I think just having 2 modes for engraving would be helpful, having an artistic engraving and a historic engraving.  The historic engraving scours the legends for the things that happened nearby, or are related to something in the area.  Then it picks one at random, allowing you to make a large tomb set off from the fortress, and the only thing that would be recognized by the historic engraving are the people who you buried there.  It also limits user control over the process, making you figure out how to use it properly yourself.
