Add another dwarf civ that's the same as the existing one, except they're unplayable and hate "original" dwarves with a passion.

When a dwarf child reaches the age of 12. The child and the child's father will have a meeting. In this meeting the father will explain to the dwarf child about the birds and bees.

"...so y'see, son, bees are good cuz they make honey, which makes mead.  But birds are a mixed bag.  Most of the ones we keep are good, what with the meat and the eggs, and that covers your chickens, ducks, geese--"
"So which birds aren't good, dad?"
[extended flashback of rocs and giant keas overlaid with bird screeches]
"...Dad?"

Broker dwarves will empty the banks, fill your fortress with banks, and make a bank-running operations with his banks.

"...but Urist, weren't some of those banks?"

The ice caps expand over the course of a world's first decade. By Year 9 all life is mere fossils trapped within the maw of the frost that had enveloped the planet.

Oooh, snowball-worlds!

Actually, I like that.  We could also have Carboniferous worlds where high atmospheric oxygen levels cause insects to become huge and enable the spread of continent-sized wildfires.

Some more fLOREida:

-The mouse-man who rules the kingdom of animal-people is both a necromancer and a werebeast.

-half of the kingdom consists of vast planes of smoothed stone full of parked wagons.

-people will wrestle crocs and gators.

-in addition to giant crocs and gators, there are "titanic" versions of these beasts as big as giant sperm whales.

-there are also giant catfish and snapping turtles as big as dragons.

-swarms of several dozen giant mosquitos roam across the countryside.

-bronze colossi are renamed "Confederate General Statues".

-aquifers, just, everywhere.

-in addition to beer, there's also rum.

-something something flesh-eating flies.

-hurricanes!

EDIT: wait shit how'd I forget

-the mouse-man lives in a castle shaped like his own head.

Engravers and Stoneworkers can now interact with criminals, either by engraving them or smoothing them.

They smooth and then re-engrave their brains to get rid of all those bad, unacceptable crime-thoughts.

Make "candy" into actual candy and make weapons made from it fragile, but also make dwarves prefer candy weapons over all others and refuse to use anything made from anything else.

My first days in the DF community, people mentioned a FB made of candy and that it was unkillable. I, unaware of spoilers, just assumed candy was bugged to be super hard. I couldn't figure out how to make candy though.

New material: sucronium, made from dwarven sugar at a smelter.  One bag of sugar yields one wafer of sucronium, which can be forged into items twice as strong as their adamantine equivalents, with only marginally more weight.  It is, however, also cookable, and your chefs will prioritize it over every other ingredient in your fortress.

Colossi can appear in the world that are made of the stuff, having been cooked up in ancient times by the foreboding and mysterious Primordial Bakers.
