Only the ones with poor agility will plummet the most often.
Ones with sufficient agility will probably not fall.

Yeah, strange moods aren't defined by any specific tag - they happen for your fortress members if you meet certain requirements overall. In earlier versions, it was dwarf-exclusive (I'm assuming [CREATURE:DWARF] in [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN]), but now it happens for whatever creature your fort is.
I can attest to [NOEMOTION] not preventing moods - in pre-v1.0 of Chaos Theory, Fallens (when they were the Fallen Angels) still had moods but never emoted.
Ever.
There is one advantage/disadvantage to [NOEMOTION] moods - no fell or macabre moods, which can be useful if all your sad people are in the same room with your nobility, but bad if one goes fell near your only legendary weaponsmith.

That's awesome.
I often, when adventuring, find out exactly what wiped out the dwarves - often, it's a forgotten beast SLEEPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FORT.

Dwarves can have any weapons-grade metal between copper and steel. Let's assume Fikod didn't know that silver was as dull as all heck.
He could've tried using the flat, though; he'd probably bruise the skull.

Tried to find a HFS vault, somehow a goblin maceman caused a cut with his mace, now I'm forced to crawl.
GEE THANKS MAN.
Gonna press on since I'm as tough as nails.

Change of plans:
v1.01 will be the DF2014 overhaul with v1.1 coming out afterwards, since what I already have complete must be modified, too.

At this point I don't count as "new" anymore, since I've been at this for a few months now, know tons of stuff, and even have my own mod (it's in its infancy, but still). However, I can say that the things that kept me playing?
The insanity, the difficulty, and how (relatively, compared to other games) easy it is to change things.
Yes, the modding was a hook.
Unlike most other games, where the content is closed-source, DF keeps the majority of its content outside the inner workings.

Remember - violently murdering anyone who doesn't take you to be their lord is the wisest thing to do.
