I want to try out something more =FUN= so im going to try out the hermit challenge. How do I go about starting it? and how do I kill off the other 6 dwarves/prevent migrants from coming?

[Urist McTaverish]

Magma.

[TicklemeFeather]

Anything Else?

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

Atomic Smashers.

The quickest way is to build a bridge, a lever, and conscript 6 dwarves into the military.

[squeakyReaper]

For the first few, set a tight burrow in a small area and have them all assigned to it.  Keep them there, and try to build a wall around them.  They'll die sooner or later.

Eventually you should be able to make an atom smashing bridge.

For the first few.... I think the most amusing way is to bridge-drop them into a volcano. Has the advantage of letting you know of any bluemetal as well.

Even more Fun, do this along with the Fortress Defense Mod

This. I am really tempted to try and think of a way to make them survive it too.

Is it possible to tweak the settings such that ambushes and sieges occur in a 1 dwarf challenge?

Will killing elves bring elven sieges even if I have only one dwarf?

tweak settings: make the attack pop requirement in the raws/worldgen 0
kill elves, bring sieges: of goblins, last time I was doing the hermit challenge.

Turn of temp and make dwarves able to breath liquids.

How do you do that?
[AMPHIBIOUS] allows breathing of both air and WATER.
IIRC there isn't a tag to allow magmabreathing, magma creatures have [NOBREATHE] instead.

[Kurouma]

Or if you want to do it legitimately, build an obsidian and glass capsule suspended over the volcano, seal your explorers in, and deconstruct the floor attaching it to the edge. Jules Verne style!
I give you 30 megaproject points, with bonuses:
+2 for  each supply stockpile,
+3 for every explorer that comes from the nobility
+5n for every room you manage to have assigned to an explorer, with n being the quality level of the room

[Dariush]

Arm all 6 dwarves with axes and breasplates, wait until a mood, disarm everyone except mooder, fail it, let him become berserk and slaughter everyone in vicinity (of course, the hermit will have to be in a burrow/squad faaaaaaar away from there). If he became not berserk, repeat from begininning.
