Jump onto him and eat him alive.

WWUD if he was suddenly drafted into the military and ordered to stand on the most recent forgotten beast dust after giving an unfulfillable mandate.

Figured out how to make elves be always at war with the Dwarves just give either one the babysnatcher trait the way I did it was make elves babysnatchers and had Dwarves be perfectly fine with butchering, eating and making things out of elves now they are constantly at war it's kind of beautiful seeing siege of bear riding elf bowmen fight a squad of dwarves decked out head to toe in steel wielding axes and crossbows.

So my fortress Champion died today. He was the veteran of a battle that nearly killed the fort, where Giant Fiend Spiders devoured all but three members of the military, and I barely hung on for the next 2 years by drafting random peasants until they gained enough skill to survive. He and the other surviving veteran of that battle charged out alone to face a combined Giant Fiend Spider/Fury/Tigerman siege, and both perished defending the west gate.

So I check the equipment my champion dropped, wondering which of my named legendary weapons he was using. To my surprise, I see neither a sword nor axe nor spear where he lies. I search the area around him, but find only the corpses of dead invaders and their crappy iron or bronze equipment. Then I think to check his shield...

You're looking at this from the completely wrong direction they dont need to dodge the ground they need to deflect it with their shields!

They never attack i have played a fort where every year the elves would come in the spring and i would butcher them put the survivors caught in iron cage traps into the magma sea where they will live forever burning leaving one alive to return home and tell the people there what happened to his comrades and they come back next year to repeat the process again and again.

Is your civ at war with the elves? Wars happen in worldgen and if you happen to stop history when there's a war going on then you get attacks instead of caravans from that race.
Heh turns out thats the case apparently Goblins are also extinct and there are only 50 Kobolds left in the world. The war goes well though i cant wait for the sieges.

So I was just moving along normally in my fort nothing special so far then first caravan gone moving along then immediately at the start of spring there is an enormous Elf ambush that killed most of my ragtag militia of Miners and Woodcutters and then retreat after one dies. Is this common and how can i replicate it because it is kind of fun to have attackers who can go toe to toe with my dwarves?

Use petrified wood it hardly ever exists in most game worlds

It's too bad we can't add in something ridiculous like the creatures from Syrupleaf.  Because THEN we'd be hard-pressed to survive.  Where are the goblin invasions, anyways?
There was one in my turn and it was captured and blended by serated disc traps.

There aren't enough of them on the planet, mate. Space is big.

And yet people say there is no such thing as stealth in space. I cry bullshit.

I dunno, space is big, but it's also rather empty. Not a lot of space to hide.

Although I could imagine painting a spaceship matte black and drawing white dots on it would be good for a laugh, especially when it occasionally works.
Space always has something in it even if it was just a few molecules any area where a ships sensors detected nothing at all would be pretty suspicious a stealth ship would be a ship that was in the shape of something you are liable to just find anywhere in space like an asteroid or some other celestial body.

Colour wouldn't matter if you are close enough to actually see the ship you are practically next to each other in terms of space.

Dear Urist McMayor

Why do you want Slade crafts? How do you know that a stone that exclusively lines hell and its entrances even exists? Why do you like such an evil item? How do you expect us to get this stone? Finally what do you think of this new room next built next to the magma pump?

Love Urist McOverworkedstonecrafter

My holy shit moment was when my entire militia was wiped out by kobolds wielding bows it was rather depressing to see them go down so fast.

Pretty sure being a noble is the exact opposite of a crime.  It's like, anti crime, where you're excused from crime because you're in a perpetual state of not being guilty of any crime.

Selling a toy furnace, 100 hammerings!
No no anti-crimes are things like whitemailing and breaking and tastefully redecorating.
