I think of it as what would happen if The Sims and Lemmings had a baby, which was then adopted by the Balrog.

Wait patiently for the bugs to be fixed, and hope by then I get a computer which works with OpenGL.

Also, begin work on my Australia Fortress mod.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

Mod out all Nobles' room requirements. I decide if you deserve a bigger room.

Dig down and build this fort that I've been planning for months.  Then build a huge tower or pyramid fortress above it, just in case the underground is overrun by nasty critters.

Village. With a church. Crypts, dungeons, caves, HFS. Bands of adventurers. Diablo-style.

See how combat's been changed and improved by playing some Adventure mode.

Then mod it a bit.

Maybe not in that order.

Look at modifying the "worthless stone" into the raws, so that it's a bit harder.

Not the first thing, but a recurring thing in the new version will be reading through brutally detailed fight reports....

Step 1: Embark on a volcano
 
Step 2: Find said volcano and build a giant cavern over it, with a single hatch in the bottom triggered by a lever.

Step 3: Fill cavern with blood.

Step 4: BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!

I'm going to test arena mode. See how well a few dwarves with swords and shields can do against a TON of goblins with bows.

True, but at a certain velocity the resulting explosion expels invader-bits at fatal speeds. You don't want to be dropping trogdolyte-shaped shrapnel bombs into your boneworks.
Only in Dwarf Fortress...

In order to improve the universe's frame rate, we must all throw rocks into volcanoes and then do absolutely nothing, worldwide, for a week, to take pressure off pathfinding.
