I got fed up with my fortress, so I decided to kill everyone (abandon is for elves) with a cave-in.

OK, cave-ins were always pretty deadly, but with the new falling object damage they are downright brutal.  As far as I can make out from the logs, many people were killed by the flying bodies of other victims.  One baby's corpse ricocheted off three other people, two walls and the floor.

It happens, it's just very rare.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

Unless you remove [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE] or what ever form dwarves then its very common.

I wasn't even aware dwarves were able to give birth to more than one offspring at a time.

Actually, I think I had one mother give birth to four at once, once.

I've done this and I now have several large families set up around my fort. I'm thinking of dividing the fort along the along these families and then sparking a loyalty cascade. The Dwarven Crime Family. Too bad you cannot have coups or family vs family conflicts in DF yet.

You could take the blockedlances route, and have your dwarves use traps to bump eachother off.

Swarves must be the cross breading of a dwarf and a sea horse....

Yes, using the highly complex process of cross breading. A mix of science, and baking.
