I tried something like this. Look up Zonnish some time. Sadly, the prison part was never completed...

Also, the second link doesn't work.

Next time, try to kill the necromancer first. Oh, and lock up your refuse stockpiles.

Yes. This probably won't get all of them, though.

I like buying metals and stuff off of caravans. It helps me to have all of the metals available, just in case a mood strikes a dwarf and he needs lay pewter, now!
I also buy alcohol and food, but that's because my brewers go on break or something too much and I'm paranoid about my food stocks.

If a limb is severed, the nerves going to and from it are severed, too. On the other hand, a broken bone has nerves, the bits of sharp bone go into places that have nerves, if you don't stop putting weight onto it that'll just make it worse...

Why are dwarven nobles so dumb that they don't even exert all of the power that, say, the King of All Dwarvenkind should exert?

If you're throwing things down any kind of a drop, consider safety.
A longish, one-tile-wide hallway with a pressure plate at least a few tiles from the end, hooked up to a hatch one z-level above the end, with to stockpile dumping onto it, should work pretty well.

CAN be lethal. A kitten CAN be lethal to a dragon, with a lucky blow to the head or causing an infection or something.

Time to mod in a [PENETRATION.....] tag for kittens to maximise their deadliness.

I've had the ragged remains of a sock fall 1 z-level from a deconstructed staircase onto a weaponsmith and bruise him through normal clothing.

Bruise=/=Death. If this were true, I'd have died hundreds of times over without even realizing it!

Do the males also tie their daggers to their feet and produce their own poison?
And have fur and beaks?

So, Giant temple of blood, surrounded by magma, and has possibly chained demons. Horrifying sacrifices to a unamed entity. What else?
What else do you need?
Creativity!

Seriously, how many succession fortresses DON'T end up with some variety of a Temple to Armok at some point? That's why  advised other kinds of Fun temples, and tries to hint at people coming up with their own fun ideas! Even a plain old Temple to the God of Fire, where people and items are burnt as offerings, would be slightly better than plain old "Another temple to Armok! Were so originil!"

Can't you make doors and bridges and floodgates and (pause for breath) hatches and statues and tables and thrones and crafts and goblets (pfb) and toys and instruments and stuff out of nickel?

Sorry, I won't link to TV Tropes anymore. Because that's terrible.

They do, however, increase the value of rooms they are put in.

About the frequency of magic: Magicians who you want to have should be possible to get, if you work at it and they exist, but if you want every good kind of magician or an army of pyromancers or something it'll either be really difficult to attract them, really expensive to maintain them, really likely to cause magical duels and intrigue which would prove devastating to your fortress (say, a healer setting the alcohol stockpile on fire and blaming the pyromancer), or some combination thereof.
