The only thing that could kill this fort off now are either the egg roasts or purposeful sabotage.

How did you manage to get six necromancer towers in one world? I'm lucky to get two!

After you inevitably lose you should make an adventurer and kill all the towers.

I fought a group of bandits and killed most of them before one stabbed me in the face. I grabbed his knife, wrestled it away and lopped his head off. As I was bleeding to death I looked at my inventory and saw that even though I was holding the knife I had not removed it from my head. I decapitated him with a weapon that was still lodged in my body.

I never remove embedded weapons. I have an iron bolt stuck in my arm. Once I retired and embarked on the town I retired in. I looked at my character's inventory. The bolt was now a masterwork.

The dwarfing list in the OP is reeeeeeally outdated.

You can probably do adventurer mode in an ice world with my fire imps. I only tried a hot world, though.

The night doesn't seem so scary when you can bite off the hands and feet of the dwellers of the dark, leaving them to die of bloodloss.

I've given up for a time, so I currently am doing something totally irrational - generating worlds with duplicates of raw files.
So far, my embark is at the very edge of an ocean, with beaches made from solid native silver. The soil layers are frozen disgusting goop that falls from the sky in evil biomes, and it even drops stones. So far, no unforeseen things have happened. Besides the whole "Native silver beach" thing.

Ha! Once I installed Genesis (a stand-alone mod) in with regular DF to see what would happen. Every soil tile began a rapidly altering between every material in the game. Giant bat liver tissue shoes. Civs of dragons. Total chaos.
