A nice, easy way to end this war would be to dig under the towers and compromise their foundations. The great fall of Torment!

What kind of mac do you have? I'm using a mac right this second, and the "option" key is also the "alt" key and functions as it should. Also, mac keyboards do have an "esc" key.

I would suggest making an adamantine colossus with blade-arms and using that to kill it.

When using a door as a floodgate you should remember 2 things:
1) Anything that can pick locks is able to get through them, even if they are mechanized.
2) Dwarves are stupid and will try very hard to be on the wrong side of a door they are attaching mechanisms to.
1 can be counteracted by using floodgates, but 2 requires micromanagement.
Another thing is, if you're using doors as floodgates, it is better, IMO, to mine out the wall holding back the water or magma before attaching mechanisms to the door. This way, you don't have to fiddle with lever configurations.

1: A dormitory is essentially a communal sleeping area.
2: I don't know, but they didn't in the last version. Try it out!
3: Lowering your G-FPS cap in the init options might help, but I don't know for sure.

EDIT:
The Nemesis unit load error was a known bug in 40d, it means that an enormous amount of files have been simply removed from the save file for no apparent reason. The only known cure is to go back to a save that still has the files.

We must not let the elvish spy escape! He'll lead them and their damn clergy right to us!
((How the hell did he escape from the compound?))

Don't worry, there are many of us reading your wonderful story, it's just that most of us are lurkers.

Scribblings of Argonnek:
I find myself to be in a leadership position among the marksdwarves. How odd.
Must remember to make more bolts.
I wonder if adjusting my angle of fire might give me longer range... nah
That is great dining room.
bubble bubble oh, how I love the magma flow.
I think I need some new socks.

I generally like cold or scorching biomes. One of my favorite things to do is allow the temperatures to reach 0-1000 degrees, just to allow me plenty of options.
