You just know this is jurrasic park waiting to happen.
But most mods that add difficulty just forget about the funhouse, the poor clowns are left exactly as they were in vanilla, and as such may come out horribly underpowered compared to new aboveground things.

I suggest modding in a fourth clown, a many-armed, ever-burning and amphibious clown, combine the good parts of them all for extra Fun.

Theres a whole section for healthcare, I don't know exactly which skills there are, but there was mention of a chief medical dwarf, probably the leader of the health care department, and doctors, apparently do this.

# Doctors can "prescribe" treatment, such as bedrest, using splints for broken bones, amputation for infected limbs, and surgery

    * Doctors will set bones for simple fractures, use traction for difficult overlapping fractures and use surgery for disgusting compound fractures. They also excise rotting tissue and amputate limbs too rotted off to save.

From this, I assume these skills are probably in.
Diagnosing(Has been mentioned in dev logs)
Walking with crotches/splints(Mentioned in devlogs)
The rest here is speculation.
Surgery
Amputation(might be under surgery, I dont know)
Bandaging
Fracture setting
And probably a sanitation related skill.

Dragons can not be civ leaders as far as I know, just demons(Regarding megabeasts only).

When the dwarven king dies he's dead, no replacement, though this will most likely change in later versions.

Can I just mod out the boring stone? Because I am sick to the back teeth of playing "Farm Fortress".

Yes, it is possible to mod out some stones and layers of stone you do not want. However, you can not remove all stone layers, as the game will then give you a placeholder 'stone' material.

I think it was just deleting the raw files of the stone you don't want and generating a new world, but remember to make backups first.

Just thought of another one.

Kobold thieves and goblin invaders, the goblins don't even notice if a kobold steals the weapon from their hands, the arrows from their quivers, and I've seen cases where the armour the goblin was wearing was stolen. How can you not notice a single kobold stealing the clothes you're wearing when you have a squad of 5-10 trained and armed friends with you?

Regular traps are off by default(Cage, weapon, strone), but levers and I think pressure plates are on as well. This has been used before by people to make adventure mode forts, the best adventurers are designed by players, since players can be creative, certainly more so then a game.

On abandonment or last dead dwarf, every building stays as it is, while every item(Rings, bracelets) will be scattered around the map. Artifacts in bins stay in bins, artifacts out loose will be lost.(Not 100% sure on the artifacts bit, but that's what I've found when I tried to place a steel artifact spear somewhere easily accessible for an adventurer.)

Those 3 imps will be the only ones, unless you choose to do it the Fun way and mod fire imps to have genders and offspring.

I suggest you cage them, fire imps can be used creatively in some traps, and if a hunter somehow brings one home the butcher might catch on fire. As it's an open magma source, I suggest you make sure your dwarves can run into your fort really quickly, imps have been known to start wildfires that kill all dwarves if you're unlucky.

Fire bad. Magma good.

You can retire any dwarf adventurer in a civilisation, and when you get him back he will have fitting armour for the civilisation you retired in. At least so I think, I haven't tested this much as my adventurers never last long enough to retire.
