Just avoiding trap use altogether is a good way to keep things interesting.

Traps?  Maybe my militaries are a bit overpowered, but usually if the enemy lives long enough to get to my traps, I'm in deep trouble.  My traps are generally useless because the enemy just doesn't live long enough to get caught in them...or its a hidden enemy detected by my front entrance guard dogs and doesn't live long enough to get out(and thus caught).  A highly mobile military trumps traps any day.  So if you want to lose, forgo the military entirely.  Then you're assuredly doomed.

True. I tend to wait until my first ambush to train military, though. That way my guys can get on the job training, and if they survive they are already good to go.

In general in this game I've found a lot less boredom by not sweating any details (aside from a water supply and plenty of booze and food) and focusing on stupid projects instead of boring stuff like bedrooms, efficiency, etc.
 

mind adding that info here? it warrants some testing.

And what is this line of code, and where should it be inserted?

wiki it.

i remember reading in the dev notes that play now should eventually put adventurers into "interesting" circumstances.

a giant 3d rendition of the champion ascii character.

I thought you were going to suggest we Invade another fort, for those who dont know how, just start on an enemy fort.

if by "invade" you mean "come over for tea" then yes, that would work.

i'd like to propose my own version of the wrestling interface.

green? so you've got frog demons. i wonder if the entire population of them will survive 2 goblin sieges.

an idea for collecting dead carp:
build a stone walkway some tiles away from the waterfall. build a wall on the side that is further from the waterfall. build a bridge that will catch the flying fish (it must touch the wall of the waterfall). water will start splashing out from the sides but your wall will keep the dwarves from being swept away by it. then do it all over on the next z-level. then all you have to do is raise the top bridge to catch the fish, then lower it so you can reclaim their corpses.
