Egads...  Make a dwarf friends with your noble, and only your noble,  and then kill the dwarf in way to make him pissed, and then he will kill the noble!!! I'm a genius!
They maintain the relationships they had in life.  All that would happen is that the noble would be upset by being haunted and the friend might go around scaring other dwarfs to death, or just batter them so they end up in hospital.

Alright, make him friends with everyone except the noble! Don't poke holes in this! I may have came up with a way to supernaturally kill dwarves!

My baron threw a tantrum about me not making adamantite items and pulled my death level then went about it way.

Then got gored by 5 menacing wooden spikes.

A Siege of One

The werewolves' siege took out almost the entire Ithillid siege, then died of their injuries. Almost the entire Ithillid siege. That almost is important. There is one Void Master sitting out there, mocking me. Just out of bowshot, but close enough to burninate the peasants if I let them go outside.

I killed all the normal, regular Ithillids that got stuck in my moat, but I know for a fact this Void Master is too powerful to deal with myself. After all, he's the one that gave those injuries to all the werewolves.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

Just think of all the miner volunteers you'll be having.

I just had one. Sort of...
I was having my dwarves build some walls... and I got distracted...

:facepalm:

And lo and behold... the dwarves didn't seal themselves on the wrong side of the wall.
It's kind of an anti-facepalm... but the problem was, I had a back up plan to get them out...

Turns out I wasted five minutes, setting up the alternative way out... and they did the opposite of what I expect from them.

Got another one. A female dwarf was building a wall, when her son showed up and sat down right where the wall was supposed to be built.

The little bugger wouldn't move for nothing. Eventually, I had to wait until he decided to move before I could un-suspend construction. If I did it too soon the mother would come back and the kid would continue to sit there all the longer.

Mrs. Urist: Can you move, son?
Urist Jr.  : No.
Mrs. Urist: Move now!
Urist Jr.  : ____ off, mom.

This is why after the hunters immigrate to my fort and I have enough animals, I disallow plants to be used for cooking.

Ouch. Nice idea, nice lay out, poor implementation. :P

Got another one.  Angry at the Elves (we've all been there, right?), I sent my 10-Dwarf military to wipe out the caravan and seize their assets.  Two months later, my military Dwarves were still attacking the Elves.  With -Training Sword-s.
