Penguin breeding program.

[Chevaleresse]

Capture a breeding pair of every megabeast that is currently capable of breeding and raise a generation to adulthood. This doesn't qualify as a stupid dwarf trick because TAME WAR ROCS. (If you add [TRAINABLE], but simple "tame" rocs should suffice.)

Fortress Mode
- Keep finding new ways to find ways to challenge myself until i get bored and have to move on
Adventure Mode
- Wait until it gets developed because I still don't understand it and it feels like im just a spotlight running around a castle

[Drecon]

Fortress mode:
- have a fortress layout that I'm happy with
- survive a goblin siege (currently working on that)
- have a complete metal industry
- have a complete glass industry
- have a king
- defeat a forgotten beast

[Agent_Irons]

* Craft a bucket
* Build a bucket into a construction (well, dyer's workshop, etc.)
* Craft a bucket from materials you produced on-site
* Sell a locally-crafted, locally-sourced bucket to a trader
* Fill a pond using buckets
* Save an injured dwarf using buckets (providing water or washing infection)
* Have a multi-bucket order via the Manager fulfilled
* Craft a magma-safe bucket
* Kill a thief or invader using buckets
* Craft a Masterwork bucket
* Craft a legendary "Faberge bucket" carved out of precious gemstone (value modifier x40 or better), with only precious gems and valuable metals (x20+) used in the decorations (requires a fantastically unlikely combination of Strange Mood rolls if you don't cheat or mod, and is still difficult even with aggressive "mood management")
* Build a Masterwork (or better) bucket out of (Spoiler) material, and then build it into a well over a (Spoiler) Pit in the floor of (Spoiler).  Not because it has any use, but because you *can*.
** Create a meeting zone from that well, and have your highest-ranked dwarf get a happy thought from admiring your audacious, over-the-top mastery of buckets

Optional, for those using mods where these are possible:
* Craft a Fell Bucket out of one of your dwarves (requires leather or bone buckets being possible, and some unlikely rolls in a Strange Mood)
** Build it into a well in an important place in your fortress as a reminder

It took me so long to get this, but I love this list.

[The Bastard of France]

Fortress mode-
Have a nudist fort
Set up a Dwarven day care centre
Release the hounds
Perform !Science!
Breed an army of war grizzly bears and watch them kill some elves
Play the game seriously

Adventure mode-
Have a conversation about the weather
Try to talk to animals
Become a necromancer and raise an army of undead
Become a were-rabbit
Live in a cave and pretend to be a crazy hermit

[escondida]

Replace your imported livestock with a fully-tame second generation of captured animals.
Capture sea creatures.

Really learn to use burrows. Fill your fort with unnecessary burrows. Call it Interzone.

Make a forgotten beat silk farm and a giant cave spider silk farm.

Bring magma to the surface without a volcano. Discover a mostly-foolproof method of tapping a volcano.

Create vaulted halls of some sort.

Use any excuse to generate cave-ins. Use cave-ins for excavation, weapons, mist generators, "accidents"...

Suck it up and befriend the elves...until they bring you a breeding pair of something gigantic, vicious and trainable for war.

Water features everywhere.

Contribute to dwarven science.

Hot and cold running liquids ready to pour into any given dwarven bedroom on demand.

Use semi-realistic building practices such as support pillars, though technically unnecessary beyond a single tile of support.

Really get to know your dwarves, or at least some of them. Try to let them lead happy, fulfilling lives. Be a little sad when your more interesting ones die.

[Musashi]

- Lose a fortress to a self-designed megaproject. It's not DF until you grossly neglect the well-being of your dwarves because you're building a penis-shaped elf-shooting megaweapon made out of soap.
- Actually finish building that damn megaproject without killing your fortress first.

- Have a noble have an "unfortunate incident". (Don't worry, her tomb is full of buckets. So is the rest of the fort. She likes buckets. A lot.)

So you want her to kick the bucket?
*adds this one to the ever-growing list of word plays she's not allowed to make anymore.*

[Aristion]

And the ultimate challenge...
Play Dwarf Fortress without ANY Tilesets or Mod packs (Like Dwarf Therapist, etc.), and survive to year 10.

I am about half way there plus prepping for a HFS assult since the spot where I mined candy out was hollow and was hollow well into the 3rd cavern's magma tube 15 or so z levels above.
