I can't wait to see all the glitches. Like dorfs plotting world domination because a grudge got out of hand.

Sounds like intended behavior to me. I'm more expecting people to plot their own assassination.

How about stealing their own family heirloom?

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Dwarves are likely going to be leaving on their own sooner or later, and possibly sooner in the arc (since it supports in-fort villains, and also leaving due being unhappy).

The time to start planning autoimmolation devices for them is now. Since they're going to trigger pressure plates and visitors don't, could place one in the visitor entrance. I think you might be able to make it weight-sensitive so that military don't trigger it, and order-sensitive so that incoming migrants don't immolate the one after them either.

Only issue is that it will melt any civilian going outside the walls of fortress. Maybe a holding room would be safer in case of mistakes due. e.g. dead wildlife corpse retrivial.

The mastermind dwarf who manages to steal a priceless artifact from... himself.

Because for whatever reason he keeps on assassinating his own teams of theives & assassins with even more assassins due to a breakdown after he started carrying the artifact around personally, and the old teams kept raiding his lair starting fights enraging the old dwarf in a endless cycle loop.

The arc right before the Big Wait, improves on villains.

Well, there's armies to come according to the notes (and Improved Sieges, but perhaps it'd be done at the same time).
But only if villains is completed in good time. With August skipped, looks like time might be tight.

Or Toady will just extend his deadline. He's the only one counting, after all.  :)

any group of units (including an individual unit) marching across the map is an army, and these small groups make armies, so it seems pretty army to me; the only real distinction is that every member of your own army is a hist fig, so you don't have hordes of abstract numbers following you
