Why not? They still follow natural laws.
Because not all learning disabilities are shared.
Huh? What do you mean?

Anyways, I see no reason why dwarves should not be hit with the same issues humans are.

I'd divide that distinction even further:

Artificial golems: (The clockwork ones). Da vinci's machines are just past 1450, but he made things like this. (They just didn't work)
Golems: The clay/other material thingies imbued by a god
Blood golems: As above.

Artificial golems would be seldomly created, more or less reliable but almost not repairable. Real golems's availability depends on your relation with your god, and the meddling with magical fields. A blood golem can be created using a variety of ways, most of which involve blood. This is the origin for the bronze collosi. In fact, you can use a Bronze collosi head in it's construction.
Maybe a bronze colossus is actually a special kind of golem created when a priest is punished by a god for going against him by being turned to bronze.
They're to large for that. Also, Collosi don't follow any gods. I'd say by my original intrepretation that they're just made by mad mages/ scientists using a blood ritual to trap a demon spirit inside it, which didn't work out well.
It's magic. You don't need to work by the laws of physics when you're a god.

Anyways. Golems, in whatever form, should be fairly rare. If they're several to a fortress in non-modded games, there's something wrong or a highly OCD player. Or maybe a liar. Anyways, aside from that I want variety. Some lumps of clay animated by a god, some mechanical beings made by master craftsmen, some enchanted statues made by moody dwarves...

Carving a shallow trench into the ground sounds neat, but why can't you just channel?
You can use fortifications for the "spout."

The Suggestions subforum encourages that you dig up older threads, and you really shouldn't just repeat the obvious reasons why a planned suggestion should be added.

DF Suggestions / Re: Allow stockpiles to be placed on top of hatches.
« on: November 16, 2012, 06:56:16 pm »
Seems a bit...I dunno, restrictive and stuff. Why just hatches?
We can use mine arts for this, and anyways this seems most useful for quantum stockpiling, something Toady isn't likely to go out of his way to do.

Name: What name goes here?
Faction Name: Heterodyne Technology and Innovation
Short Description: The corporation that made the Unity and other projects.
History: In 2063, HT's CEO, billionaire Phil Heterodyne, sold most of his assets to form a scientific corporation. Within a year, he had a band of solar panels circling the equator of the moon and a few spacecraft. Within a decade, HT was a household name and built the best spacecraft in the solar system. He built the Unity when it was commissioned, and included room for himself and his family.
Assets: 5,000 employees and dependents (2,500 men, 2000 women, 500 children); $100,000 or so; a large number (4,000) of variously skilled technicians and such; various high-tech stuff including a generator, a supercomputer, laboratories and workshops, robots, and a cargo shuttle; what techs could I choose?
Starting Location: Um...On the surface, probably? Maybe the ship?

Sorry, GWG. I wouldn't exactly be isolationist if I started teaming up with other factions.
Alright. You might wanna reconsider your isolationist status and at least pursue diplomatic relations with misko.
