Also the thought that demons would come from the "heavens" is rather...foolish if anything gods would shoot meteors at you filled with weapons telling you to kill all the demons you just released from hell by greedily mining out the metal of the gods, its would be a boon and a bane, the boon would be a large cache of masterwork weapons made of metal compareable to adamantium the bane would be that your probably going to have dwarves die from the impact of the thing...

First of all, who says that meteorites are sent by the gods.
Second, even if they are, who says they're your gods.

Please goto the "legends" section of any world you've generated and read "deitys"

First, I don't see a deities section in Legends mode.  But looking through historical figures shows plenty of non-dwarven gods.
Second, you missed my points entirely.  You're saying people are foolish for suggesting that the gods would send demons down in meteors, but you're the one who's saying that gods are actually sending meteors down.  And my second point was that even if gods are sending the meteors down, it's not necessarily your gods who are sending them down.

Well considering Armok is the "god" of the dwarves and he created them greedily, why would he not assist them, I am aware there are more then dwarven gods, we can assume the gods are in the polar opposite location of the center of the planet where they locked away all the demons. I guess all gods locked them away so why wouldn't the gods help lock them up again, it doesn't nesscuarly have to be from Armok. There isn't a diety section I meant to just look for dietys. I wouldn't imagine there would be demons where there is supposedly "gods" so how could they send a meteor down full of them when they have none up there in the first place.

I always thought that if you assigned a chest to a dwarf they would store their coins in that chest.

The metal in asteroid from the asteroid would be to finite to make a significant difference, and considering that such an occurance would be probably more rare then witnessing a volcanoe errupt in a plain while playing fortress mode I doubt that having that metal would be a problem also considering how hard it is to work such metals I also don't think it would be possible to work iridium with wooden tools at all...you'd probably need platnuim, steel or adamantine to even mine into the space rock.

It can swim though. You could replace the entire outside of the magma pit with glass, and keep it as a pet.

That would be interesting to do, but I don't think that colossi have magma vision so they can't path out of a pit can they?

Bronze colossi have extravision.

I didn't know that 
 Well I'll keep that in mind, well maybe not a lava filled pit how about just a
   old fashioned pit since I'm positive they can't climb, fly or levitate.

How do you keep spearmen from drawing their backup every time the spear gets stuck?

I wouldn't worry about it as long as they kill said enemy then you can recover the spear anyways.

As I sit and watch my plan to use the underground caverns as giant dumps for my waterfalls, my mind painted a picture in my head of building a boat, and sending dwarves down there to scull about in a boat, gliding past a silent world of muddy walls and floating corpses, batmen house debris, and the general detritus of destruction, I realized that I wanted boats. Because boats would be awesome. and awesome is what Dwarf Fortress is all about.
