    unfortunately, the only ways that I know of to bring magma up are either Pump Stacks, or a Magma Piston. The Pump Stack is easier to understand, but more costly as far as materials are concerned. It is a source of potential lag, and even a small mistake (Such as forgetting to make one out of...

    It can take a couple of years before goblins will show up if your fort is far from them. The waves they send at you should become stronger and stronger, so lasting longer should mean more challenge. Or you could have had all your goblin civilizations wiped out during world generation.

    To kill a God

    It truly depends on the context. How do you kill a being that exists on pure belief? Simple. Forget about them.

    ^^^^^^^ THAT ^^^^^^^^ Or you could pot shot them with a few catapults. Or get a dwarf to roll around in one of the skin boiling syndrome FB blood pools then go and "hug" them.

    Don't worry, at this point I'm sure you've become some sort of blood magnet and bathing will only attract the blood washed off the others onto you.

    Now THATS determination. Couldn't Stinthad get a full suit of steel plate (Or better) armor to wear during her beatings? If that dosn't work maybe give her a few classes in armor wearing for "Survival's sake". If that fails you could always assign the weakest baby to do the beatings.

    I would like to note that Goden only punched her in the head. Not trying to kill her? Yeah right.

    Maybe I'm just being stupid, but you don't need to feed your entire fortress off of a small farm plot, you just need to keep them from starving to death until you bring in a harvest from a larger farm. Get down there and start turning every possible square into a farm plot! Its better then...

    You have no food, where you're growing food? Are you sure none of your crops have grown in while you have been busy with this siege?

    Well... Your in a pretty tight spot as long as your being pelted by arrows. You need to do something about that. Can you make a mad rush to the caverns? If you can get down there and dig out a temporary shelter (Which can later be turned into a farmer's burrow.), then you gain the time you need...

    Why don't you just lock a dwarf in the room with the lever to the drawbridge? Let the goblins drown in that moat you took so long to make. Same effect as a ocean flooding labyrinth with none of the effort needed.

    the resentment of gaming

    It sounds like your major problem with a gaming story is that there is a story at all. No matter how great a writing team might be, your still playing THEIR story. I end up playing Minecraft or Dwarf Fortress when I need a game that doesn't have any story or point past whatever I want it to be...
