Build a pump stack to dump a single tile of magma on the world (don't try to flood it, that's just wasteful). The wild fire will be purging and leave you with goblinite ore and a bunch of free bones for crafting. Very entertaining and practical at the same time. Bonus points for doing this with a dragon pillbox.

In my experience, magma doesn't light adjacent tiles on fire. It burns them when it spreads to them, sure, but if a tile doesn't have magma in it, it won't light up. You need a fire imp or a chunk of burning lignite or something to start a fire properly.

Hmm, strange, I swear I've dropped magma on a tile and had it light before.

Guess you should get an imp pillbox then. Shouldn't be too hard.

Problem #1: Fort entrance on Rhyolite, not Grass.

Problem #2: Most of the grass is ash anyway.

Ahh. Then patrols and watch animals. The downside, of course, is you'll go through watch animals damn fast, but such is the cost.

Well, the problem's less urgent now. I have a squad of nearly-champions, a champion, a brain-damaged axedwarf, and my training squad.
I've also just gotten migrants, and recruited them to the military and fort guard, so the guards can train people in wrestling.
