If we're taking suggestions for the next one, can it be a nanofortress?

Okay, forget everything else. This is the new thing I'm most looking forward to.

I think there may be a surviving deathbringer already trained up in that way but I'm having a hard enough time just keeping basic fortress systems running.  I've only had enough spare labour to mess around with one small trap for burning the forested half of the map with fire imps and fill in some of the holes in fortress defence.

Well, the file download isn't working for me, says that my IP already has a file in progress.  I'm too tired to work on it tonight anyway.

Edit: Downloading from a different computer worked. Shall begin construction.

You can use the forbidding exploit to change what they use in the artifact, but I've never had it increase the number of objects used.

Might be time to start atom smashing extra stone?

I'd go with the option of fields that have been tainted by blood or miasma in "evil" areas producing these undead vegetables.   This keeps it from happening commonly and makes it so you don't have to be worried about them randomly appearing unless stuff is already going wrong in your fort.

But however it is implemented, I really like this idea.

I've beat  a SoF pit with a 30 dwarf fortress. I first forcing the spirits to run down a long hallway where 25 of the dwarves are pelting them with bolts, then into a twisting path where they were attacked by 5 champion hammer and axe dwarves wearing and wielding +iron+.

Of course I lost half of my fort in the process and almost all the rest killed each other from going emo, but as a few survived I assume that if I did it with a larger fort I wouldn't have much trouble at all.
