File this recent line under "Oh you were talking about Dwarf Fortress again then?"

Stopped dwarves from trying to clean their own missing or internal body parts

Surely worthy of a Rock Paper Shotgun header for a few weeks.

Maybe add a siege operators guild caste that makes them blind ?

I can only imagine the "So a siege operator dorf walks into a bar..." jokes that would idea would spawn.

Moleweasels replace cats and are far superior (super fast and do not adopt dorfs)
Shaggy badger dogs replace dogs and can be sheared.
Mastiffs are what war dogs always wanted to be.

My archeologist is earning his dorfbucks - three The Destroyer Guardian of Armok, a whole sheaf of steel ballista arrows, mithril plate, and unknown material red marker for the kids to mark up those legendary engravings

Armok can help you in removing any 'graffiti' that marker creates.

An untrained/unarmored Raptor vs Forest spider is what you mentioned ether, caught in web and endless throwing of the raptor around by the head. It generally takes a bit of time to kill the raptor though so a second raptor added to the pack is free to rip the spider apart before the first gets killed.

Now if you just take an untrained steelclad raptor though, it seems they are not too bothered by the webbing and just tear the spider apart unscathed. Two spiders will do an armored raptor damage, but still, two dead spiders. Now, if you combine spider and armored raptors on the same team...  oh my, that team can do some damage even without training

Keep in mind that raptors breed fast when given nest boxes of their own. Also, when armoring, one bar converts the entire group you pastured on top of the workshop.

Tried a "straight-to-cavern" embark, there were like 20 serpentmen down there just waiting for me. I hope they enjoy all the wine and meat I packed in case I hit a dry cavern.

Just a heads up, the standard MW worldgens all have at least some water and are all 'no restrictive passages'/'high openness'. If you want something more random, you can change the world gen params pretty easily.

For Automations, what about using successive workshops for the ranks of nobility as a change of pace. Makes literary sense that the leader of a mechanical race would be a factory spitting out different castes of minions like some sort of mechanized hive. Just not sure how feasible it is from a modding standpoint.
