[Hyndis]

I had a tantrum spiral in a 210 dwarf strong fort from a single death...a baby died to goblins - the other 47 babies/children started rampaging because they are social animals and after everything settled down I was down to 106 dwarves with only 16 babies/children alive.

I do think unhappy thoughts from death are a little strong.

I had a fort with some 200 dwarves. On dwarf drowned after attempting to retrieve a poorly placed sock while I was filling up a cistern. Ever quickly draining the cistern and burying the body before it began to rot, I still had some 100+ absolutely miserable dwarves and a massive tantrum spiral that left probably around 75 dwarves dead.

Obviously you aren't providing enough happy thoughts for your dwarves then. With a legendary dining room, engraved individual bedrooms, and a "memorial hall" filled with "tastefully arranged" tombstones, I can literally lose like 40 dwarves before the other 40 will even begin to drop below ecstatic.

and don't forget the combo of decadent dishes and lower quality dishes, which stack, and boozes and being satisfied at work from those battery of repeating rock blocks jobs.

You left out the weapon traps made of pimped out mechanisms and weapons (artifact, or at least masterful)  And a mist generator can be thrown in for good measure, if your PC is strong.

And the well, now that you mention it, and the trade depot for some reason

And a masterfully designed wood furnace in the dining room.

Also, we need to get back on the topic of automatic abortion. This thread derail got derailed too early...

Edit:
I've made squads out of every married female in the fort, and created an alert set to herd all of them into a lockable area every six months (named 'Dwarven Spa'), filled with lovely statues, bedrooms, a dining room, and food (no booze), and a nearby lockable well for emergencies. Hopefully dehydration should do the trick.
