I usually lack magma so trantrums are the way to go ;D

New question! If I were to remove elves [INTELLIGENT] tag in the raws, would it work?

There really should be an "all of the above" option, because that's my general technique in a nutshell: all chaos, all the time.  Oh, and an "unleash captured invaders on unsuspecting populous" option would also be fitting.

I usually just deconstruct all the structures I can find from their bases. So I guess tantrum spiral, though magma and water and whatever else are usually involved.

I like to build an invader pit. Whenever a siege or ambush appears, I try to capture the forces in the pit. After several years of sieges and ambushes, the numbers can grow quite sizeable. Since I play with dig deeper, i get orcs right from the start. When I feel that I'm bored with the fort, I unleash them. I've recently started to put a layer of water at the bottom of the pit to have them swim and strenghthen up.

The delete key.   :P

I've actually never destroyed a fort.  I usually have the intention of continuing on, and then one day get bored and delete it.

Fire.  I toss some beds around the meeting zone and pretend its a zombie virus thing.  You can't see anything because of the smoke, but blood randomly appears on the wall and sometimes injured animals and tantruming but uninfected dwarves crawl out.

I have yet to intentionally destroy a fort; I typically save them for posterity and start anew. The one time I seriously intended to wax a fort, it was going to be pressurized magma raining down from above, but then I got bored.

I don't, really. When I get bored of a fort I don't want to invest the time to make a doomsday device.

ive only intentionally killed one fort, and that was by water. I built an elaborate series of pumps, and finally just said f- it, and let loose the pumps
