You can't make children wear armor, which makes danger rooms ludicrously deadly for them.

Actually in my experience the danger of danger rooms for the unarmored is chest shots. A shot from a training spear will only very rarely inflict a deadly headshot but it's very easy to bruise both lungs causing the unfortunate victim to suffocate.

...Somehow the image of dwarves riding into battle on giant war fleshballs as per that comic panel strikes me as absurdly dwarfy.

Fleshballs produce 4 meat when butchered, but you can lock hundreds of them into a small cupboard without losing any of them because they're too fleshy to injure/be injured.

Since the vanilla raws forbid reproduction, what rate did you set?

Are these things "tribbles", or are they benign?

I just copied the Caste stuff from domestic goats. The 6 i brought from embark gave me 4 babies within 2 seasons.

Hmm... I've been putting it off until now, but Project A.R.M.O.K. really could use a Project Spartan program. Super Soldier + world-destroying device = Dorfy Island of Socks.

I'm thinking ten years of training with turkeys should increase base stats a fair bit, give the child good combat skills, and scar him for life. Physically and emotionally, of course. Add in some danger room training at age 12 and he'll be good to go for destroying the world and (possibly) conquering HFS single-dwarfedly.

Spartans would've favoured a cloth tunic over steel for better manoeuvrability :|

They left to the Agoge at 7. Interestingly enough, they left their babies in the dark and ignored their cries to make them tougher. I smell correlation here >:D

The child will be taken to train at the age of one and a half. His life will be darkness and fighting, and his cries will go unheard and unanswered. All he will know is war, and he will fight any foe and be victorious. At the age of twelve, he will be given his armour, to earn his place among our people.
