Pumps; why would walls mess with unpressurized water.

Just channel wherever you want it to go.

Water tuns off the edges of the map, so you're not gonna be able to create a miniature sea.

If you want to flood an enclosed area, you're going to have to pump it there (or channel out the way there).

Or build bridges on the edge of the map and raise them. If this still works anyways.

Actually, if my experiences building walls underground count for anything, you can now build wall right up against the edge of the map with no problems.

Playing a cheesemaker in an average Fortress 'round here would be. Freaking. Terrifying.

That's what cages and minecart shotguns are for!  We don't need to control them.  We just need to aim them.
