Go to hell while playing Megadeths Go To Hell

I already do that, just need to find the right place and you can get to hell. I have my doubts that Toady would include a relatively obscure Megadeth song in dwarf fortress (although a way to compose legendary music in DF would be pretty sweet, and allow that to happen) You can always just order the Hidden Treasures compilation album from amazon.com like I did.

My power goal is simple. I want to be able to get an adventurer so famous that the game embelleshes things and lies about them. If a dwarf kills 300 goblins and a dragon I want engravings of him killing them by strangling them with his beard and karate chopping the dragon's head off and laying 20 dwarven women at the same time, regardless of the fact that he was belarded by hanging sacks of fat and had one leg most of his life.

In short. I want the game to acknowledge how awesome some guys are by lying it's ass off like it does for the semimegabeasts.

Additionally, I'd like to brag back at the semimegabeasts. I've killed ten times as many cyclopses as they've killed humans and I'm not allowed to tell them they're pathetic assholes? lame.

Additionally I'd like to be able to brag back

Obliterate nation after nation with the almighty flagship of Armok's Gauntlet.

Of course, the finished version (as seen in the project page) is only version 1.0 of it. I intend to further improve upon the design.

EDIT:
Just noticed this post.

Nothing too fancy. Being able to completely devastate whole world with either some dark magic or insane machinery will make me happy enough.

It has been a long, hard winter and the mood in the fortress is sour and quarrelsome. A dwarf is irritated by a rowdy group of youths in the sculpture garden outside his front door, and finally his temper cracks. He takes up a stout log from the stack beside the fire and runs out into the hallway yelling at them.
A fortress guard steps in and attempts to calm the angry dwarf down whilst his partner lectures the children. He refuses to be pacified and the guard's tone shifts, threatening him with arrest if he persists. The dwarf ignores the guard's warning, brandishing his improvised club.
The guard forcibly disarms the would-be assailant, picking up a black eye in the process, and firmly handcuffs him. The miscreant is taken to the cells to await his appearance before the Magistrate.
The defendant, his advocate and the Sheriff each make their arguments, and the guard who made the arrest is questioned on oath. Eventually the verdict is reached; the defendant is found guilty of Threatening Behaviour, not guilty of Assaulting A Fortress Guard and not guilty of Assault With A Deadly Weapon. A fine of three hundred coin is imposed due to the mitigating circumstances of considerable provocation.

Basically, you've got guards who attempt to calm tantruming dwarves down before they cause damage (one Pacifier roll, one Intimidator roll), an approximation of an adversarial justice system (one Persuader roll each for the accused, some sort of Advocate figure and the Sheriff/Captain of the Guard) and fines as an alternative to jail time and beatings or Hammerings.
Yes, I am a big fan of the Discworld City Watch novels. How did you guess?

I'd just like to get a computer that can run 120+ dwarves at a halfway decent FPS

Build any one of the projects I have planned in my notepad.
But especially the Cathedral of Armok, which has cycling magma-falls, and ballistae in front of the pews in case anyone tries to sneak out of mass.
I also spent ages figuring out the divine dimensions of the church, so everything would add up to, or be a multiple of seven.

I can't decide whether it is odd that the fact you worked out the divine dimensions is the most awesome part of that post.

Divine dimensions? Seven? Huh? Enlighten me, please! 

[HatfieldCW]

I want to build a multi-site, multi-racial ecosystem.  A fort for metalworking and stonecrafting, an elven retreat producing top-quality wood products (harvested sustainably, of course), a human town that provides the highest quality livestock and leather goods, and a central, capital city where all three races meet to trade, philosophize and recruit parties for dungeon crawls and megabeast hunting expeditions.

Dig a tunnel to the underworld in adventurer mode and establish a fortress in the deeps then raid the overworld from below.

The ancients in our world were big on incorporating significant numerology into their architecture; go wiki the Golden Ratio for all that kind of interesting stuff.

In Dwarf Land, it is of course natural that their Divine Numerology would of course feature the number seven prominently, as that is the number of dwarves every fortress embarks with.

Multi threaded functions in DF to unburden my poor CPU

Toady would probably be sued by mustaine if he put that song in i wish he would put in metallica but metallica would probably sue toady too [looks at napster case]Hmmm what about pantera?

[Huggz]

Build up a huge citadel and send armies of mounted axedwarves to wage war on the elves. Wipe out all of the elves, then continue worldgen for 1000 years. See what happens, and take control of your fortress 1000 years older and mightier! Lag-free...

You are the infamous necromancer of the emanciated plains. After creating your dark tower you begin to amass an undead army of zombies to expand your dominion.
