Because they know what "siege" means. It means sitting around the castle and waiting while defenders are starving.

Why does water evaporate so quickly in closed underground chamber?

The fortresses are penal colonies.
The mountainhome has far too many degenerates too deal with by itself, so it sends out minor nobles to establish penal colonies across the world.

A: The underground earth gets thirsty (doesn't have access to rain), so it drinks the puddles rather quickly.

Q: Why do Keas want to steal my anvil, what could they possibly use it for?

They're trying to start a distillery.  They'll drink all your booze, too.

She's known as Broadhat Redcoat the Storm of Thievery, and hails from the human town of The Town of Angels.

Why haven't the dorfs invented any sports aside from goblin hammering and being stabbed to death?

They have. They are called hammering and beatings, respectively.

Cause they are special.

Why aren't there Treants? Imagine the elves having something to pray to that won't fuck up your lumber industry...

Evil is eternal.

Why can't I make my own Keep in Adventure mode? One where I can eat and sleep before going on a grand adventure, one where I can hire goons, keep slaves, have a farm, raise a family? Seems VERY Roleplay worthy. Would be fantastic for Bloodline games.

Because obviously, you're afraid that calling a place home will cause you to lose the status of an adventurer, thereby causing you to lose your infinity+1 throwing skills.   

Why can we embark with sand bags for just one point each, when bags cost more points each?

This is a masterwork ledger.  It contains 3719356 pages on the topic of the precise number and location of stones in Spindlybrooks.  In the text, the dwarves are hauling.

The dwarven economy isn't implemented yet.

Why is it that only the important dwarves in a fortress manage to find ambush groups?  Why not Urist McUselessPeasant?

Because the ambushes are in fact assassination squads.

Because dwarves are immune to our so called virus or bacterial hosts, having been inured to them via their own genetic pool: Sporulation. The many differences between human sickness and dwarven sickness manifest in how different, yet how similar we all are--Dwarves are hardier because of how they reciprocate their offspring.
