Implacable dwarf? Oh hell's yeah!

*scare chord*

I like this idea immensely. Simply allowing your dwarves to retreat advance in the opposite direction would add many, many new options to dealing with aggressors. As of right now, it's more or less 'Fight them where they stand, and don't stop until one side is all corpsified.'

Getting my dwarves to fall back through the trap hallway alone would be hilarious.

I'd like dorfing and a turn, if you'd be so kind. I want to be part of an epic succession game!

I've been working on a giant cistern placed above my fortress. In the event of serious Fun, I shall collapse it, and hopefully drown/push away everything on the gorram map.

I've never used pumps before, and I've already had about 5 deaths in the construction process alone. This oughta be good.

I've been working on a chicken little machine on my current fortress recently, and I just recently decided that it's not complicated enough. Instead, the new plan, is to make an enormous, overhead cistern. Connected to a support by a lever. Bad siege = world flood. Or at least my site.

Should I? Will it actually drown enemies? How deep should I make it? How long until my framerate recovers afterward?

Also, not swapping water for magma, the whole thing is being made from rock salt blocks, and I'm working with pumps for the first time.

Thus, the appeal of not running things.
