We should be able to set them up around the fortress like statues. Elephant skull totems are aesthetically pleasing. Enough said.

Do dwarves get nice thoughts when they see their friend's murderer murdered?

I know that my hunter dwarf is ALWAYS ecstatic for participating in the slaughter. Im sure he'd also very much enjoy decorating his room with grisly grizzly skulls. lol

I've seen the bodies of my old adventurers impaled on spikes outside goblin fortresses. I want their skinny green asses on gibbets outside every human town from here to Armok.  :)

When religions come into play, I'd like to see more love for totems and idols  :)

Spikes can be any size. Obviously the leather spikes that a rope reed mitten menaces with are going to be several sizes smaller than the iron spikes that a fortress menaces with.

I don't know about you guys, but with goblins around, I'd want my fortress menacing with spikes of iron...

A moat lined with hudreds of bone spikes and piles of lye dipped heads to hurl at the approaching foeman, (the brits apparently used to do it, and we already have lye) Being able to make skull mugs for the old soldiers drinking hall would be great. That and inlaying all your engraveings with polished bone
