This could also, of course, be abused horribly. "Oh, right, go wait there under that ominous, column-of-shimmering-heat-producing, suspended-ten-tiles-in-the-air cauldron-looky thing."

As such: APPROVAL!

I like the way you're thinking.

Those elves are gonna get it . . . one way ore another . . .

I haven't tried experimenting with other underground biomes. Anyone ever successfully make a  [BIOME:UNDERGROUND_LAVA] tree sprout?

This sounds awesome.  I wonder what benefits there would be to a tree like that?  Would it be lighter, or what?

Traditionally, beards on all members of the species is supposed to be one of the major distinguishing features of the dwarves.  However, DF is quickly becoming very un-traditional (cannibal Elves . . .)

However, I like the idea of all dwarves having beards, because I read Terry Pratchett, which is also very un-traditional (although that has nothing to do with why I like it).

In all of that, my favorites are the Skelk and the guy with the i-pod.

Elves don't drink booze, they are anti-dwarves.

The only reason they offer it is because they are afraid of a dwarven invasion.

I mean seriously, they can send hundreds to do battle against a lone dwarf and still lose.

Of course, an elf raised by dwarves could be just as powerful.  It's all that hippy stuff that weakens them.

Good idea.  This would make it easier to use an airlock entrance for dangerous areas.  You wouldn't have to worry about dwarves not collecting all the stuff from the depot and then leaving it out in the open for kobalds to steal.

But some creatures that have big enough body temperature (and other tags) can swim in magma. Fire imp and Spirit of fire for example.

But those won't siege your fort.

So I had a fort with HFS and two tame megabeasts.  I breached the HFS and lost all my legendary miners.  I tried fight the demons with my marksdwarves, but they quickly run out of ammo and manage to barely avoid death since I trained them in hammer use.  I'm starting to think that they're all going to die (two already had), when my megabeasts show up.  The dragon starts breathing fire on the guys, and my dudes manage to block it.  The other one (some modded megabeast, not too powerful) starts wailing on them.  The only deaths after that are a couple of siege operators and a Royal Guard.  Some of the remaining markesdwarves were heavily wounded by the end of it.  Without those megabeasts, the whole fort would have died.  Just two.  Who else has awesome megabeasts stories like this?
