Thanks, but wouldn't modifying the raws only affect a new worldgen?

I think I'm just gonna execute the poor girl.

Thanks guys!

I'm sure you can infer my question from the topic.  If I retire a fort that has become the capitol and start another fort, will that fort have the opportunity to become the capitol (assuming it's the same civilization)?  And if it does, after retiring that fort and assuming control of the old one, will the king be gone from the old one?

Cheers

I've never had any issues getting dorfs to equip flasks and backpacks.  I make them, and then they wear them.  Often my barracks are near the entrance and far from sources of food.  The shorter their time away from the barracks the better.

Very clever!  I'll have to check that out sometime.

I do love the creative solutions DF players come up with.

In my long-lived forts this has become something of a problem.  Each goblin invasion litters my entrance with enemy corpses, and their subsequent disposal brings panic and depression amongst my dwarven populace.  Half the population is stressed out, and about 5% of the population regularly throw tantrums.  The fort is utterly decadent; its residents live in abject luxury.  They don't care.  They'll never be happy.

I'm considering using burrows in future forts to dedicate a small team of unfortunate souls in charge of surface cleanup and recovery.  It's frustrating to have to micromanage something else, particularly because I doubt the new stress system is fully working as intended.

I'm always happy, smiling, laughing.  But I get frustrated or upset from time to time.  When that happens, I meditate for 10-20 minutes until I've identified what's causing my distress, and worked out an action plan to alleviate it.  Life is complicated and not all problems can be solved.  Those problems you probably just have to accept as a norm and find a way to emotionally cope with them or even laugh at their absurd triviality.  Problems that can be solved should be.  Take control of your life.  You'll feel much better just knowing that you're in the driver's seat whereas most people are napping as passengers.

Is there anything in the raws that can be tweaked to reduce this occurring?
