A glorious red dragon appears. It has made a name for itself, and has no wounds. I send the dwarves all inside, expecting perhaps to catch it within my weapon traps. Sadly, this is in vain.

Everyone gets inside safely, and the dragon makes a beeline for my chained dogs. So far, pretty predictable. What happens next, however, defies beleif. After incinerating the dogs, the first thing the dragon does is destroy the screw pump I had used to fill my moat with magma.

That I might have expected, even. Stupid, but it makes sense with a building destroyer.

What happens next, however, does not make sense. After destroying the pump, the dragon enthusiastically charges right into the magma... deliberately sprinting into it until he's swimming in 7/7 magma, which then kills him. Now I don't even get to collect his bones or his body, or attempt to fight him  :-[

Mister dragon, you are a retard, and I hate you.

I would suggest modding the raws to make dragons totally immune to all kinds of fire. In fact, make them immune to heat up to the point that HFS metal boils.
....

You are playing with powerful forces here, mister Burke. Never, EVER suggest that again.

Dragon number three arrived, and I decided to let my lonely watch-tower Marksdwarf drop him. What better way to cheer the poor guy up than to let him be a dragon-slayer, after all.

The dragon was subsequently butchered. Dragon goods are as expensive as I'd have expected.

My dwarves feast on dragon meat and wash with dragon soap.

I love this fortress (It's 22 years old now, by the way)

What makes it even cooler is that the symbol of the fortress' civilization is two titans. I'm thinking of chaining them up atop the highest tower and using them as a living figurehead.

Now all you need is a Bronze Collossus to put in the Barons room for a living statue.

Just don't pull that lever that lets him out, killing the baron, eh? *cough*

I'll document the process, surely. Pictures of the preparation, and I'll make a video of the transfer to the chains, just in case one gets loose and there's carnage that deserves recording.

Wow, I finally get around to continuing my idea.

I forge a couple exceptional steel chains, emplace them atop the tower, build the cages 2 squares away, and tell the dwarves to chain the titans.

The second the first one is uncaged it sucker-punches a carpenter who then tumbles down the tower stairs to his death. Awesome.

I'm going to scum and try moving the cages closer.

I drew you a picture to celebrate your troubles!

He just wanted to relax some.

 :D

Actually, that would make sense. Someone told the megabeasts I have a hot-spring resort. That's why they kept showing up.
