I'm a clothing magnate.  Rope reed, cave spider silk, pig tail fiber...in midnight blue, black, red or emerald green.  We produce the finest dwarven fashions for your discriminating tastes.

Do you always look at it in ASCII?

You get used to it, I don't even see the ASCII.  All I see is blacksmith, miner, goblin.

I love me my glass. Give me a volcano, a forest, and a sandy layer, and I'll have all my dwarves living in glass houses. With catapults.

Toss up between glassmaking. Find magma and BAM, infinite materials or ranching. Had me a hydra ranch one time...9 heads makes them an unsurprisingly good guard animal. That and the mental image of what it looks like when my army charged into battle with each soldier's 2 assigned war hydras was priceless...lol

Mod lava to chocolate and recreate Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. All dwarves become Oompa-Loompas.

Quote from: Airpi
A normal ballista does damage by piercing with overlarge arrows, a dwarven ballista does damage by crushing with entire trees.

They will run, naked, into the caverns and roll around in whatever nearby filth is available.  Watch for gory explosions.

Power plant! I don't like water reactors, so usually I dig long wide channel from aquifer or undergroumd sea to drainage and build massive waterwheel sets. they give me thousands PowerUrists each. Then time to think about usage of all that power...

It isn't a new Dwarf Fortress version until we're made to fear some kind of regular creature.  Carp, Elephants, Unicorns, Badgers, and now Mosquitos.  I've got 5 dorfBucks on the next one being plagues of groundhogs.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

Stone mugs, stone toys, stone goods, stone fall traps, stone bins, stone barrels, stone beds...

Let's just say I'm rather fond of stone. Also just started learning the joys of the glass and gem industry.

Chinese Elven sweatshops of rock crafts. Plus pitchblende eating utensils, kitchens and thrones. For the nobles, you see, only the best.
