Stonetower - 1055 Early Spring by OHakubi

Map Description:

First, the good news: The fort went up to 98 people due to births and immigration. The first floor rooms were finished, so people have a place to sleep, and someone went fey and made a schist weapon rack worth 128 dense.

Now the bad news: Two successive goblin attacks and the resulting dead have plunged the fort into a deep funk. The 38a friendship change is, as near as I can tell, completely freaking brutal in this regard. Thus far five citizens - including three nobles - have gone completely insane from the pressure. Steps are being taken to stem the tides, but people are still tantruming left and right.

Only after all this happened did I notice that I called the civilization "The Boats of Murder." Truly, I have paid for my hubris. I can only pray that the Beasts Which Shall Not Be Named do not appear.

I love your residential design for a circular tower and I'll copy it as soon as I can.

Well, that's a damn shame. Is anyone at all still alive, or was it a clean sweep?

I like project MURDERHALL, by the way.

Basically a clean sweep. I say "basically" because, after the first deaths, everyone (and I mean everyone) was so upset that tantrums were happening all the time, the tantruming dwarves would break stuff/hit other dwarves, who would then tantrum in turn, keeping everyone on edge. Eventually one of them would go berserk and kill someone (or just give up on everything and starve), upsetting the people who knew the dead party and adding to the overall sense of despair.

Near as I can tell there's no way out of a death spiral like this; as long as there's dwarves and dead dwarves they're going to tantrum. I abandoned it in the middle of the thing, mostly because events spiralled out of my control extremely quickly and dwarves weren't going berserk fast enough for my tastes. Had things continued, though... yeah, they'd all probably be dead.
