afaik some mods add a special "wood hardening" reaction which allows them to enchant wood to be denser and harder and sharper. Wouldn't that suit your needs?

And as a side mad idea:

Their etherial beauty can be represented by all elves having a "deadly vapors"-type attack that causes dizziness and nausea to everyone trying to attack them (well, everyone close enough, really).

No, but you need to edit your save's raws

data -> save -> region folder -> raw -> objects

all the creatures, manualy?

Well you can write a script or use the binary linked by onarum or download the "Noexotics" mod. (or something like that it's called)
Manual approach is worth it too, though, because you don't really need to convert all creatures to pets. You only need to convert those you caught and want to tame.

There's a russian wiki, dfwk.ru
Also, I think there are groups devoted to DF in russian social networks such as vkontakte.ru
I remember trying to run a succession game and a community fort there.

Here's the link (you have to be registered there, obviously)

oh that makes me remember learning to play ADOM. Words like "dagger" or "haggling" or "dodge" were quite a mystery! It helped learning english alot though.
 

that's a bit too late to have ideas after you have 30 dwarfs killed, but you can try walling it of. That'll buy you some time before your dwarves kill each other so that you can engrave the walls with images of the slaughter.

wouldn't adding [THROAT] tag to testicles result in major arteries running there, too?

steel spikes should work although you'd better have something better at your second line of defense.
What's fb's description? does it head any easily severable parts?

As capntastic has always argued, events should almost never be random. However, I still think that there should be SOME events that are random. Like weather etc.

"random events" are juts a convenient placeholder to replace stuff you can't or don't want to actually calculate.
Like, look, weather is not really random, it is governed by athmospheric currents and solar heat and such, which are in turn governed by solar flares or planet axis tilt etc etc...
It's really all completely predefined with no room for uncertainty. (well our weather forecasts better left aside)
With the each iteration you achieve better and better approximation and leave less and less room for RNG, until you really reach the very basics of the world.

If your game keeps track of so much stuff as df is going to do, why would you want random events? I mean, when df will really be keeping track of animal migrations, climate change, volcanic activity, caravans', armies', monsters' and travellers' movement, astronomy, meteors, tectonics, then all these events will be happening naturally in the way  they should be happening, not in the way RNG (very roughly) models them.
