Make DF entirely headless (as in it doesn’t display anything to the user).

All gameplay must be done by echoing to stdin and reading from stderr.

...surely

Elf blood rain should be the only kind of evil rain that gives dwarves a happy rather than unhappy thought, to the point that they'll cancel their jobs in order to run outside and dance in it.

If dwarves dance outside in the elf blood rain long enough they will eventually turn into elves themselves.

Every December the game has only glacier embarks available and the only crafts you can make are toys. Also, dwarves are called elves and they wear tights and pointed hats with jingly bells during this period.

They are still contractually obligated to celebrate the winter psst time of burning elves for warmth, causing them to set each other on fire.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Don't forget that the only livestock you can embark with are reindeer.

Lavish meals are replaced with elvish meals, made from sapients.

If they can't find any sapients in the stock piles they will use any adjacent dwarves elves to create them.

A cook struck with a fell mood should bake their victim into a masterful roast instead of making an artifact from their bones.

Rename & reflavor all humans in Fort mode as Terrans, all elves as Protoss, and all goblins as Zerg.
Rename all gemstones in the game as just "minerals".
Make all things military--from making an armor stand to setting up a squad to forging a weapon--have a material cost solely in minerals and a new resource, "Vespene gas".
Do not implement Vespene gas, but mention your intention to do so, several years down the road.

Dwarf Fortress -- kind of like Minecraft, but for people who hate themselves.

Fez hats.

Not that bad of an idea.

There’s indication that fez hats may date back to Ancient Greece (and therefore would fall before the 14th century cutoff).  Also, felt-making (and felt products) are probably something that should make it into the game.

This is a good idea and there for doesn't belong unless we make it bad, so I say that the felt should burst into flames the moment it's made.
