The bottom of the temple should reach to the lowest Z-level. From the top of the pyramid to the lowest z-level should ensure that anything dropped from the precipice should explode on impact.

You'll probably have to re-do your dwarf-face but I think it would be worth it.

The best way to provoke the decadent elves is to simply agree to enter into one of their frivious tree-cutting limits that their diplomat puts worth and then deforest the entire map for the glory of socialist productivity, to break the agreement and they will go to war with you.

Whenever I treat the elves with fat profits they come back with 7 donkeys loaded with wood, a single stack of strawberries and nothing else

50 logs is worth close to nothing so its really easy to keep the elves estactic about the trading.

Eh. I still play Doom, multiplayer and singleplayer with Skulltag and I design levels for it. A Doom rouge-like doesn't sound like much fun at all.

Well, the gays would just be sent to ungayification facilities to free them of their sinful ways. Chemically castrated and whatnot untill they are healthy again.

With women, you'd just be relegated to doing their traditional roles as mothers, secretaries, registered nurses and strippers. So most skilled workers encountered out on raids would be males. No lady cops or firemen or nothing. The few that are workers should be no older then 30, as they'd be expected to be married, barefooted and pregnant by that age.

Just think of C+ as the 1950's paradigm taken to an extreme.

As for curfews, I suppose most raids take place in broad daylight, where there are more targets to shoot and whatnot. Whats the fun in blowing up an abortion clinic or the welfare office when nobody is there?

Maybe a better solution would be to modify the "Create new world now!" so that its smaller, 65x65 world with more variation and relevance to a newer player. The default world it cooks up now is kinda clumsy and boring, huge oceans and huge stretches of boring, awful, un ideal example of a world.

 It should be modified after the sort of world gens players cook up for themselves to maximize the the number of better embark sites and create a world that usually ensures all of the races surviving worldgen with a strong dwarven civ that has access to all the cool stuff a player might want to import. It should have almost every terrain type from deserts to forests to glaciers and, It should also be somewhat predictable in its outcome so that generic advice can be followed.

Anyways, I think improving the default world gen would be the best idea. It takes some serious effort and time to create a world to specifications thats a bit overwhelming for a new player. While the current default world gen parameters generate crappy worlds nobody here would want to use.

It was a carp in a lake that killed about 6 or 7 dwarves over a period of years. It got a full name and a bunch of honorifics and titles. Stupid dwarves ignored my indoor wells and kept trying to get water right where this carp lurked.

I think I finally killed it with a squad of marksdwarves. I was worried the stupid dwarves would walk up to the water's edge to fire and the whole squad would be wiped out, fortunately I only lost 1 marksdwarve in the assault on that carp.
