Since the intent is to make adorable kittens fall to their horrible doom, doctor logum's research into the fatality of drop heights, coupled with "kitteh is angry!" Sardine packing seems optimal.

Basically, create a 9 z-level shaft. On the 10th level, create a 1x1 pen right next to the exposed shaft. Pack kittehs inside the pen. Build a wall all around the 2 adjacent squares. Remove the pen.

Kitthes will have catsplosions. This is unavoidable. The resulting overcrowding will result in kittehs being angry. When they fightc they will dodge, and fall into the exposed shaft. The 9 zlevel drop is garanteed fatal.

Kitties never escape. Kitties continually rain from above via the shaft. Set and forget convenience.


Bonus: you can place 4 concentrators around a single shaft for maximal kitten flow.

Bella donna gets its name from its historic use as a beauty aid, as the juice from the berries was dripped into the eyes to cause the pupils to dialate.

That said.... a song comes to mind....

"Raven hair and ruby lips
sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
she's a restless spirit on an endless flight
wooo hooo witchy woman, see how high she flies
woo hoo witchy woman she got the moon in her eye"

If your dwarves are holed up in the farm....

Dig until you hit sone, then make rock pots.
The stone can be used to make the brewery, and the masons workshops required.
That way you can make booze while holed up.


The more fun thing, is trying to defeat the insane clown posse as they try to get all psycho on you for tunneling into their circus of horrors.

While nasty, that's a good safe suggestion as long as the ketchup doesn't have onions or garlic.

Onions and garlic are seriously not good for cats, and cause heinz body anemia, a cumulative and progressive blood disorder.

Just make sure there is no propylene glycol in the icecream, and no onions or garlic in the ketchup.

More intriguing would be with mummies and their "proper" reanimation.

This method preserves skills and statuses. Eg, the potential for a "insane, enraged, tantruming undead legendery axedwarf" becomes quite real. Being undead, it doesn't bleed anymore. Being insane, it is completely unpredictable.

The perfect thing to unlesh upon an unsuspecting world.

There is a reason my broker is also always my book keeper.

I hate exposing lots of underground passages while hunting for ore.

As such, so I can be sure to satisfy stupid nobles and their freaky fettishes for pewter armorstands, I tell the trade liason that I want all the metal bars they can give me, and buy it up like candy.

Despite spamming the hell out of it, and always giving them a large trade balance, they never seem to increase in size.

What do you define as a large trade balance?  If both numbers are about even, then you are doing an even trade with them.  If you are providing twice what they are (or more) in value, then that is a large trade balance, and makes them very happy and likely to bring more.

I have a simple formula:

For every 1000 urists of value imported, I give them 1200 urists of export value. So, a 100,000 urist lot of metal bars will net them 120,000 urists, for 20,000 urist profit. My merchants always leave "ecstatic".

If I have surplus product clogging my stockpiles, I will give them considerably more, and may decide to simply pack off as much <pigtail crafts> (note, lowest quality) as their pack animals can carry, and ignore the lost value. (Getting more room in the stockpiles for <*=pigtail crafts=*> is the value I seek from the transaction.)

My trade surplus is currently greater than 2x my import.

I got to thinking.  This is will be the ultimate temple to armok.

Urist McTombBuilder: "all are welcomed to the great ark of armok! All who come may rest in piece, or in peices, as is their divine right. Some of our brothers come to defy the great armok. They claim our order is an abomination, a blight upon the land. Yet armok will claim them all in his red embrace, and they shall be released of their tensions, hatreds, and biggotries. Armok welcomes the challenge, as it is through the fires of war that his universal love shines brightest. Welcome bretheren, your place among the immortals is assured!"

How does the idea of hosting this as a dfterm open game sound? I have an i7 running ubuntu I can host it on.
