I'd also like to see logical consequences. E.g, screwing up a fireball doesn't turn you into a chicken, it sets you on fire.

Alright. Once we get our labs, we'll be able to collaborate on the CPU. That is, cephalopod processing unit.

I'll take a turn and a dwarf as well.
Dwarf: GreatWyrm[metal], where [metal] is to be replaced with a military-grade material that the dwarf likes. Pick the dwarf of the starting 7 with preference for the best military-grade metal. GWm is a smith, mainly weapon- and -armor, but s/he could have a few points in other smithing skills. GWm is a bit irritated at the glassy focus of the fort; s/he admits that it looks pretty, but insists that making everything out of glass will ruin us when "the Greenskins come again." GWm is afraid of goblins, seeing as they killed pretty much his entire family when he was young, so he runs a covert metalsmithing operation using what ores or spare metal items (e.g. goblinite and trader-crap) s/he can find and what asistants can be persuaded to help with his/her secret quest to arm and armor the fortress "properly." So what if it violates the fort's "glass only" policy? There's no way they'll survive otherwise.

I'm 99% sure that the reason that building destroyers don't destroy bridges is because trolls would smash bridges they were standing on and send themselves plummetting into a firey abyss far below, so they don't ever smash bridges.

IMHO, these should all be optional. Putting the closest material for the Workshop/Construction/Etc is often a good idea.

When constructing walls it can get a bit bothersome since the material will often switch pages depending on how far the "rest" material is from the area where you are making it. Being able to put an material type as "favorite" or just have the last used appear at top of all the ones avaibable will help a lot.

You could. You could also choose to arrange entirely by distance. It would be your choice.

Somehow, I had missed that part.

From optimistic or bureucratic governments locking up monstrous criminals to mad wizards seeking to obtain knowledge of how and why magical beasts are magical, there is a lot of potential for Fun and adventure in containing critters.

Unless you're convincing the noble that your successes were much greater than they are, I don't see how that would work. Also, that would cause you to possibly get sent on quests you don't have a cat's chance in the circus to do. Well, a greater chance than there is now.

That makes sense. It would probably grant more XP than training on your own, but would take money and limit the skills you can train.

What are you imagining these ASCII montages to look like?
