Neat idea. Presumably, this would be based on the AT_PEACE_WITH_NATURE tag.
I'm not sure if it would be sad or hilarious if they brought chinchilla guards.
In one of my older forts, I trained a horde of war chinchillas. They absolutely massacred anything that stood in their path. Unfortunately, that included my FPS.

Statues in Dwarf Fortress seem to be the classic greco-roman design. They're big, heavy and cumbersome. It doesn't make sense for a trader to drag these things from their homelands when they can just trade in regular trade goods like figurines.

Statues should have to be a custom order from an artist of that region. Custom made statues from other lands should be expensive to both make and import but they should be quite favourable among your population.
This is Dwarf Fortress. We don't need logic here.

Well, they're not [FURNITURE], just furniture. Furniture aren't in the raws.
Well, um, I never mentioned [FURNITURE]. So there.

Not Nazi, just purging weakness for the glory of Armok.

Needs more calculators in your calculators.

YMMV,
:D Snake_Eyes
So, um, Dwarf Fortress running on a calculator... within Dwarf Fortress? Epic.

I like that idea.
It could be made more !!FUN!! by giving the area around opened hellgates the possibility of demon invasions.

As far as I know, statues are not used as trade goods by other civilisations for the same reason they don't trade chairs: they're furniture. Furniture items aren't used as trade goods for whatever reason, but it may be possible to edit the RAWs to make statues count as some kind of craft. Like massive figurines.

I remember there being a thread on functional loss in the heart having no effect.
Sadly, the real problem is that Toady's simulations are makeshift at best. Hearts, spleens, kidneys, livers... they're all "important", but if they're missing, nothing happens, as long as there's no bleeding.

### On the topic of livers, but not thread-relevant, I'd like to see old dwarves get liver problems and be forced to drink water, or die of alcohol poisoning. Of course it'd be the latter that actually happens, but it would still be cool. ###

If the organ simulations were improved, heat-related death would be more realistic, but as far as dumping elves in magma is concerned, we need heat to affect the rate of meltings.
... But then magma forges would be able to smelt things faster, making them far more desirable...

Burning simulations would be nice, but I can only see them having an aesthetic purpose, much like scars.

Why? Its useless and you get clogged up with shitty wooden armour, and need to sort it all out. Its more work then it should be.
But it will put us at war with the humans and elves. Practicality is not the goal here, fun is.
Your lack of practicality made my computer overheat. Luckily I am not without other computers, but none have DF installed.
My update should be up within two days, unless nonsense occurs.
