Completely flat, aquifer, heavily forested and thick with bushes? keep & atleast one curtain wall should be your no1 priority. You'll need to defend all sides, and will need walls on all sides. Given one puny curtain wall you can't call it much of a citadel, but its a castle nonetheless. One word of advice, build up.

I don't think its an exploit. But it makes the game too easy, in a way thats too easy to construct. I mean, (if the dungeon master was still working) if you tame a dragon and train it into a war dragon, that'd be a pretty nifty way to OWN sieges, but it requires great levels of dorfdom to effectively pull off. Making a breeding pair of dragons and having your fort for so long they grow into adults is interesting too.

But danger rooms, you can basically be more dangerous then a dragon with comparatively zero effort. People will say 'game features used in an unintended way to make everything easier!', but then can't you say that about many ridiculous traps? Like cave ins crushing entire hordes of demons, or a Bronze Colossus in a small wooden cage. Not an exploit, but it makes the game less challenging. For a new player, I'd recommend they use danger rooms if they want to see a long-lived fort, but tell them that playing without it makes the game more thrilling.

Can we skip the embark parameters and just skip to figuring out how to launch dwarven children into forest retreats with enough force to kill elves?

It isn't a forgotten beast. He's from a spoilerific place. Basically, he's a clown escaped from the circus and took a position of power in the dwarven civilization. If you had genned longer he might have ended up the king..

I've been reading. I've been reading as if this was real life, and we are all managers of dwarven colonies.

The same thing with kittens. Other furry animals even. Not even the ugly ones, like cows.

You are all sociopaths.

Especially the trash compactor drawbridge maneuvers, regarding immigrants.
Burning people alive to save resources. That's not the worst, moders, who burn
people alive to garner resources. Baby bones. Baby Bones.

The mayor just wants some leather hats. Give him the hats, Jesus.

• He need not be drowned, or burned, or both at the same time.
• Fall down large pit and then drowned and burned.
• Impaled as well?
• *Noble bones are worth the same as baby bones*

Are there any others affected in an emotional manner by these atrocities? Please, let your voice be heard.

i don't see a problem with any of this.
