See, personally, I find the 'attach everything to a single support, kill entire world at once' idea that inevitably gets thrown out there in a thread like this very technically interesting, but not really all that fun. What I would suggest is building your entire fortress without intending on destroying it, and then decide to just add some extra channelling or remove construction designations here or there so that your fortress only marginally falls apart. Doing your best to make your surviving dwarves' lives absolutely miserable is a whooole lotta fun. Having no survivors is kind of like "Haha, cool, everyone's dead! ...and now it's quiet."

OK, then let me modify my last suggestion.

Dig out a pit of magma below the fort, and dig out the rest of it from the mountain.

Have it supported by TWO supports, each supporting half of the fortress.

Drop ONE half into the magma (preferably the half with the fort's only exit).

Watch the other half slowly starve and go insane.

Appeals to both audiences! Both people who want a bang and people who want a whimper will be satisfied.

Compromises are great.

I got tired of my badass fort of awesome recently, so I traded off all my bins, after the Countess had forbade them to be traded. Hammering, death, and tantrum spirals ensued.  Fun!

Hi fossaman.

Hah! I knew that name sounded familiar. Heya.

Nine tenths of the fun in building a sand castle is knocking it down with toy dinosaurs.

Now I know why I never had much fun at the beach. I forgot the toy dinosaurs! (Although really I was more of a building-block skyscraper kind of kid, and I'd fire projectiles at it to see how long it would stand up before it collapsed.

[Gergination]

Yes. Every time I see the idlers go into double digits, in fact.

Try having them go into triple digits.

I do, occasionally, feel the urge to kill my dwarves.

Then I play I Wanna Be The Guy.

Problem solved, and my fort lives!

I have a problem with making forts that contain a magma pipe. Infinite water or no, I always dig into the pipe and screw with the magma before I've even built beds or farms. Needless to say, those forts don't last long. Not because of horrendous disaster, but because the magma is like "Hey!" and I get distracted.

[Raviaric]

I usually just play a fort until I get the inevitable irresistable urge to make another one. Without destroying my previous fort. My save folder is packed.

Then I play I Wanna Be The Guy.

I believe you haven't really played Dwarf Fortress until you have deliberately destroyed at least one of your fortresses.

This should be added into the wiki...STAT!!!
