A 'reinforce trap' option would be cool.

These have been suggested before, but pirates are inevitable.   Putting some thought into it doesn't hurt.

First, I'd suppose the world needs to have 'real' continents and oceans.   This would be a massive change and I dunno if Toady wants to do that or not.  As it is now, I suppose you could be a coastal pirate ot whatever.

There'd need to be an interface for steering the ships; as well as skills related to nautical tasks.   It'd take a lot, but this sort of complex thing is what DF seems to be heading for.

There's already berserk and martial trances.   Not quite the same thing, but a similar effect.  They'll be fleshed out in the future I'm sure.

I always thought that pilum would be an excellent weapon for throwers.  NOt that there's anything wrong with butterflies and water  

I believe the idea is that as both get fleshed out, they will merge.

You will be able to adventure and pillage and riot and take over cities and found new ones.

Even as a dwarf!

I am glad to see I was correct.    You could just spin straw into gold though.

This is a common request, and I think it'll be answered eventually.

Yeah it would be cool if the soon to be released version allowed you to make your fort anywhere, including near kobold caves or whatever- even volcanos, and they could attack your fort from all angles.   What else would be cool would be enemies that tunnelled or perhaps more random cave innards, so you're not just digging to the right all the time.   One of these days I'll read the development notes and perhaps see if Toady has anything like this planned or even coming out in a few weeks, but until then I'll just post threads uselessly.

(Sarcasm aside, everything you've described is going to be in the new release, pretty much.  Stuff that isn't will be worked on eventually.   The development notes will show you!  http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html  )
