I'm going to build walls. A thousand miles of walls.
WE WILL SEE WHO CAN'T DO WHAT.

P.s. Boats?

Or cut a channel in the side of the river immediately over your entrance. Not dwarfy enough?

FPS suicide. We prefer our dwarfiness to at least keep our FPS up high so we can bask in it.

gem-demanding moods will eventually become ‼Fun‼, costing you one or more dwarves every time they come up.

You'll reach the artifact cap long before you run out of gems I think. Unless it's a super scarce mineral embark.

This is probably a terrible idea. But in preparation for this I've been doing this in this embark that I've never done in others. My dwarves are stable, well fed, got pretty decent access to metalsmithing materials although nothing mind blowing yet. But now I've inadvertently been focusing on how to manipulate the environment, shaping it more fully or more fundamentally, rather, than I've ever tried before.

I'm moving mountains...

Depends on if you cut them, and the mood demands rough, but that's probably right.

Another resource drain: [Item] Mandates, when [item] is metal-only, and melts for less than what was used to create it, permanently taking one or more bars out of the economy.  Without trade and goblinite, this will never be able to be replenished.

Trade is easy. Just build an above water Trading Depot, with access up through the lake and bridges to prevent access the rest of the year. (Or caravans from leaving...)

There is no such thing as a terrible idea. There are only ideas that didn't involve enough needless death.

This sounds like a neat idea, but if you need to build walls around your map to keep the water from flowing out the edges, wont that defeat the purpose of the water anyway? If your whole perimeter is walled off, nobody can get in, right?
