Better.
Do it to cats.
Give them speed: 0
See if you can mod them to be designatable as part of your Military.
Instant 500 soldiers, anyone?

Erm..
..TELLING us what the megaproject is would be a great idea.

In fact, in late Fortresses, that may be ALL he engraves.
But then, in late Fortresses, you rarely have anything LEFT to Engrave.
..Still waiting for someone to engrave all 3 Caverns.
And the Magma Ocean.

You'd actually want Mountains for that-Some of the Optimal spots give you access to all the above-ground stuff, plus allowing you to figure out all the metalworking, and your mining techniques.

Actually, it's PROBABLY because there's stone on top of where you want a designation.
And Dwarves actually have a slight delay to doing things, especially in larger forts.

Also, you should probably retrain a few FBs, and equip them with their most powerful and terrifying weapon...
...Shirts. Made out of Adamantine.

^ if red is a Volcano. If a Dark Grey, and somewhat Thicker it's a peak.
Anything that has the symbol of a tree in-game and is green is a vanilla forest.
Blue lines are rivers. Blue dots are lakes. Blue squigglies are oceans.
The various ns on the map are hills, doesn't matter the color. Although I guess that affects vegetation and such. I don't really care that much, come to think of it.

Emplace a limit where I will only allow 5+ for each industry(Excluding Farming, Medical and Hunting.)
If that limit is reached, and I get dwarves with those skills, they are placed into the Military, and, depending on their weapons and squad, are given one of the four jobs:
Mining for Pick squads,
Mason/Farming for Squads not using Picks or Crossbows,
Hunting for Crossbows.

Even the NOBLES are placed in the Military.
