Granted. You never wished to wake up.

I wish that you nit corrupt this wish, and instead give me $ 1,000,000.

The above sounds good, but we'll probably want to add a turret or two once we confirm spaceworthiness and get a bigger crew.

Zone or not I think we all agree that dwarves need to stop being afraid of creatures that they shouldn't be afraid of because they can't get to them. I am actually thinking what GreatWyrmGold said is best now because then siege operators won't flee their posts.

That'd bring about issues with dwarves and creatures/enemies with ranged attacks though. Having a zone for it would also give more control over when you'd want dwarves to express this particular behaviour and avoid having to mess more than necessary with pathfinding and normal behaviour, possily introducing more bugs in the process. A zone would be much easier to control, and you could also much easier implement a "enjoyed watching the arena lately" thought, tying it to combat taking place in the zone rather than having to set up a bunch of parameters for what would count as arena combat.

As Xenxe noted, dwarves need to be less afraid of critters that can't harm them in general. Today's not the type to put in half-done fixes.

Very true, but that'd mostly affect the zoo part rather than the arena part, as the critters you'd throw into the arena would most often be very capable of harming our poor dwarves if let loose, and it'd save micromanagement for when sending your combatants in if the civilians wouldn't care even if a hostile goblin could path to them for a moment or two.

First off, when would an invading goblin only be able to path to a dwarf for "a moment or two?"
Second off, I'm a bit fuzzy on how needing to set up zones instead of dwarves doing stuff automatically saves micromanagement.
Third off, what do you mean by your first sentence?

The rain is pussy. The undead? Not so much.

Wait, RAPTORFANGAMER is real?

As OBDURA,THE GUY I FORGOT, push SCP-682 at boss.

So...undead and pussy rain. No problem.

Didn't Burundi have that genocide and famine problem? I could help find solutions, I'm an amateur armchair sociologist. Oh, and solving problems like that is awesome PR.

Then I can be a Benevolent dictater! Oh yeah. I was actually aiming for a career in politics anyway, and this would be a great jumping off point.

Well, there are worse...how many potential voters will be able to point to a location within 100 miles of Burundi?
