A steel spire, hanging in the center of an abyss over semi-molten rock? Yeah, no way that won't be awesome  8)

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

Why is it such a big deal that someone else gives you a map?

My Big Challenge™ for myself one time was to create a community of farmer dwarves. I took only dwarves with farm-related skills (planting, threshing and the like), and embarked on a thickly forested map with like three or four soil layers, including an aquifer that I would use only to build the well at the center of town. Clear-cut some land, build expansive farm plots, build multi-storey farmhouses for the different families to live in, use wooden fortifications as fences, all that stuff.

But this was back in the 40d days, and I was playing with the Dig Deeper mod. Just after I got the barn finished and brought in the first fall harvest, orcs came and murdered them all.

I should try that one again in the current version.

Give yourself a theme. Use nothing better than bronze, live in a desert biome and build an enormous pyramid.

Dig down into the caverns immediately and have no further contact with the outside world. Be as minimalist as possible.

Do this, but leave a trade depot up inside a mouth shaped building. Hunt traders by means of traps. Make elves and humans butcherable.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

Alternatively: Find a map that freezes for one month of the year only. Build an above-ground fortress entirely out of ice.
