There seriously needs to be drills in Dwarf Fortress. Take one mechanism and one drill head and you should be able to make a hand drill, right?

Add a metal that pulses with an eerie, yet oddly comforting green light and we'd be all set.

You fools! Dwarf heaven is the glowing pits! The demons are the foul spirits of the overworld, denied the dwarven birthright of the blissful abyss, coveting the sacred pillars in their jealousy! But we must go forth, defeat these tortured souls of elves and men who bring nothing but ash and filth to form their bodies, and claim our eternal reward!

I can imagine all those dwarves I killed with magma coming back to kill me... *Shudders* But then again it would be pretty awesome to kill a god with your legendary adventurer.

Actually drills were literally two pieces of wood held together by a string until a few centuries ago.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_drill

Though I don't see why we have to include these, at least until reactions are made a little bit more complex, like sword needs handle, blade, and pommel in order to be constructed.

Unless your talking about large drills that dwarves can ride into the center of the earth. In that case no, it's to steampunk for dwarf fortress.

Build a tower to the heavens, mine out the silver lining, try to survive the world gen gods themselves attacking your dwarves to make them pay for their insolence.

I like the idea that a secret mountain exists among the clouds.

When temples enter the game, perhaps mirror images of your own temples exist in the heavens.

Kill the gods and take their place! But it shouldn't be easy, this should be the hardest thing to do in the game yet.

These forums seem to have a lot of TTGL things around here.  Not that I'm complaining, it's just curious.

Its a game that focuses a lot on digging...and wherein extremely unethical population-control measures are often taken to prevent dire time-dialation related consequences...so what do you expect

You people are all missing the most /horrible/ possibility: Piercing the clouds, only to realise that every one of those annoying migrants you offed is back and un-get-riddable-of.

Once tried to conquer Earth, and succeeded! Too bad it got really, really boring, really, really fast.

One day, we shall all look back on this, and laugh. Sorry about the face, by the way, and the legs, and the eyes, and the arms. In fact, sorry 'bout the whole body.

Just had a same idea.

A God-City would be awesome. It would be sitting on top of the highest mountain(Olymp), populated by gods.
Every god would have its own house made of his prefered material, shops would only sell artifact-like goods.
Rivers of booze(I realy like that idea), golden apples on trees and a big dininghall where all the soldiers go that died in battle. They would have forgotten beasts as pets, and Dragons in the sewer :o
Maybe there could be aligned Cities so that evil gods and good gods would live in different cities.

It is a world built on pillars that descend into hell itself, yet there is no heaven above to look to. A world where pain and death await all, with little to no salvation from the horrors of the world. There is no true peace, no true saviour. Dwarf fortress is a game about an eternal struggle that you can never, ever win.

Also, valkyries are cooler then angels...

I am confused, I thought this was the whole point to the game? Why else would I be embarking in a desert?

I second this demand. A squad of Kaminadwarves would strike terror into the hearts of the goblinoids!
