[Overspeculated]

I'm not sure if I even like the idea of having kids make all sorts of friends through socializing.  What's the first thing that happens when a few of my Spartans with tons of friends dies?  I think you get the idea.

Those that gain the "Doesn't care about anything anymore" attribute or have personality traits that make them insensitive to the death of friends will survive. Think of it as a kind of "natural selection" if you will. (Of course, since you are doing this for personal entertainment rather than practicality, you wouldn't care about the lost children )

And repeating this over generations would cause the surviving parents to gain "Doesn't care about anything anymore" as well.

Though, you'd have to do alot to keep the Dwarves happy as their children die year after year...

And why is this sounding like a Fallout 3 town?

Keeping them happy from this is relatively easy actually.  I would be sure to prevent the corpses from rotting though.

So, since we have the whole getting kids to train thing somewhat understood, how do we get kids to stray into some place where we can take them hostage?  Can we assign kids beds?

Lever and bridge into 1 z-level drop. Assign the kids as the only ones who can pull it and stick it on repeat.

The next fort I make, I'm doing something like this.  I currently have a surplus of children (~100) but they are already all nice and cozy with everybody else in my fort and I don't want to cause a Boatmurdered.

I am trying this.

Unfortunately all my dwarves so far are legendary talkers and they are all FRIENDS. And no migrants

[denito]

Hmmm...

Do children obey the "dwarves stay indoors order?

Whatever; just go on a map with really dangerous wildlife and keep all the children locked outside.  When new children are born, figure out some way to get them to go outside too.  Drop food and booze out there for them but otherwise make them fend for themselves.  Maybe you'll get one or two survivors that live to be awesomely tough adults.

Time to smooth all those walls to increase your wealth then.

ive never seen a macaque wound a dwarf in an all out fight but have had a few hunters thrown off bridges while wrestling with macaques. on a related note, unarmed hunters are probobally the most badass thing in the world. imagine for a moment a dwarf wearing hunter's leathers running up to an elk and strangling it to feed the fortress

This, but have him train with the wrestlers until he pulls off two socks (one in each hand). You then have a dwarf charging at wildlife with socks on his hands and strangling animals to death.

You can get "Does not care about anything anymore" by simply putting butchers workshop in your meeting hall/dining room. Dwarves will see a lot of deaths and level up really fast at being not bothered by their children rotting or dying.

That takes care of parents,

and for kids, i guess that being locked in 1x2 room (one water tile - no booze for them!) where chunks get tossed reguraly (miasma!) and with no bed will piss em off really, really fast all the way to tantruming.

Of course it's inhuman. They're dwarves.
