Well I'm fiddling around with world gen parameters too, trying to make an island region with vast amounts of rain, forests, volcanos, and extreme cliffs.

I resorted to letting it run for a while, it eventually asks you if you want to allow the use of the rejected parameter.

I went through three of these menus, now it seems stuck on placing civilizations. If anyone can make a island nearly completely covered with forests, volcanos, and cliffs, please post your seed!

You should try adding dagger/knife/whatever item requirements to that bonecarving mod using the [PRESERVE_REAGENT] tag.

Please share your awesome Adventurer reactions in the future as I am only dabbling in Modding and unable to make my own.

Does the local biome freeze? If so, expose the room to the surface, flood the pit with water, and turn him into a fiendsicle. Much better than magma because you can then mine the ice out to reclaim his corpse.

No freezing, just drought.

I've opted to carve fortifications on a wall and shoot bastilla bolts through it until I hit him. Not very dwarfy but eh.

I haven't finished yet though, but I think I'm just going to abandon the fort and start up .10. Well, maybe after I kill this ass.

Have a book keeper? Good.

Status -> Stocks -> Seeds

Press Tab, Forbid all you want to save.

OR

Forbid them all, then Tab and unforbid the ones you want planted.

That's as easy as it can get, I'm afraid.

EDIT: ACTUALLY! There is another way, using burrows. You can have a burrow encompassing the kitchen with a small plant stockpile, beds, and food (I think you need all that?) Assign two or so cooks to it, and cook the small supply of plants in the stockpile.

EDIT2: I just realized you would only need a nice batch of "emergency" seeds you could have forbidden while you have cooking enabled. Haha...

I can't say which is my favorite, but I'm planning to build the following:

Dwarven Fist: A hollow (or pit) tower built with a suspended platform near the top and a lone tile. Goblin prisoners are positioned underneath the platform and the tile is then removed.

Hell Flight: A hollow (or pit) tower built with spikes at the bottom. Goblins are tossed off so they impale on the spikes.

Eternal Fall: A hollow (or pit) tower filled with retracting bridges. The goblin is placed on top and dropped to the bridge below. Then dropped again. Then again. And again. The bottom is a drawbridge which crushes survivors.

even [ c ]onstructed [ w ]alls, at least that's what I read

Where'd you read this?

A thread somewhere on these forums. Someone was trying to trap it with walls and it was able to break walls. He must've been mistaken since that just seems too FUN.

Anyway, I didn't give it much attention because I thought "Pfft! I'd never get a FB diplomat!"

And trapping the beast isn't going so well. He's on my main staircase seemingly teleporting through floors destroying doors, then coffins, then workshops. On top of that, there's something rotting in the fort, producing huge clouds of miasma. I can't keep track of it. If he gets to the beds, I'm screwed. I'm currently experiencing a serious wood-based food shortage, with barely enough wood for barrels (all my barrels are apparently filled with seeds, tallow, ect, ect).

EDIT: "Wall toppled by Mapi, law-giver."

I guess he wasn't mistaken.

Cheating is not a problem since it's easier to cheat without relying on wagon saves. Like say, editing your smelter to produce 100 copper, silver, and gold bars whenever you try to make coke.
