1: Make dwarfs lay eggs

2: Wait till a married couple lays an egg

3: Dump said egg into daycare center

4: Let it hatch.

5: Babby in daycare.

1) EW!  Maybe for dragon-types or mermaids, but dwarves?

2) Ok, this is the only cool part.

3) Eggs only hatch while in an egg-box and being sat upon by mother.

4) Refer to 3.

5) PROFIT!

0. Mod dwarf eggs to be made of solid gold.

6. Throw eggs at enemies as an adventurer.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

So how do we then weaponise them once in daycare?

Its easier to just set children to a burrow in a room.

Edit: Not that Im opposed to weaponizing babies =d

As they are all together in a single pen, maybe even a pen filled with grass, I think the best use of them would be a dwarven equilivant of the incendiary pig.

We need to make dwarfs graze, then assign them to a 1x1 pasture and let them go crazy on one another.

Aren't babies already weaponized as shields?

That's protectionised. There is a big differance! For example...
A wall is protectionised by building it in your entrance to keep things out.
It is weaponised by causing a cave in and crushing the intruders.

Someday, I envision egg-laying adventurers abusing the horribly broken throwing skill, using their own eggs as ammo.

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

solution:build nestboxes only in the day care, keep all animals out and use a door to make pet forbidden. Once the eggs are laid, forbid the door and drop food in from elsewhere. Tadah! as for weaponising.... hrm, that's a little more tricky. You could use them as bait by having access open up during siege and have a long, trapped hallway between them and gobbos, but that's not really weaponising. can you mod creatures to have tissues as children that they lose/change when they grow up? If so then make the babies have poisonous skin or something with a contact syndrome. maybe have them secrete something and engineer a way to have that tracked around the fort as a biological weapon.

Wont it kill them when they finally grow up? Being covered in a poisonous goo doesn't seem healthy. Also I see it killing normal dwarfs as well, mothers running up dying as they touch their babies.

This is a platinum warhammer. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. it menaces with spikes of platinum.
there is an image of the goblin Utes Gozrusrozsnus and dwarves in elf bone. The goblin is making a plaintive gesture. the dwarves are striking a menacing pose.
this image relates to the slaying of Utes Gozrusroz

Your point...? Assuming we didn't want that (a bold assumption, if I may say so), it's as simple as putting in an [IMMUNE_CREATURE:DWARF] or whatever.
