Is there any difference if I have a room with doors + bed + chair + table, and then another one (identical), but set as a bedroom, and then another one identical as bedroom and dormitory YES.

The game doesn't consider it a room until you define one from a piece of furniture, so the first setup is not a room. The second setup will be treated as a private bedroom, permanently claimed by the first dwarf to sleep in it. The third setup is considered a public bedroom, so it won't be claimed and may accommodate multiple dwarves simultaneously.

Practically speaking, chairs and tables are not recommended furniture for bedrooms because dwarves will prefer to eat there, missing happy thoughts and socialization in your dining hall.

For another time...
...everything is under water 

Is there any chance to have a well, especially on lower level, without flooding rest of fortress? Is it possible to fix flooded fortress?

[Fleeting Frames]

Yeah, sure. Just use a diagonal gap to remove water pressure before the well.

And no problems, just dig in elsewhere from the surface and make a map edge (smooth map edge stone and then carve fortification in it) or cavern drain below the central staircase in fort or whatnot. Warning: This will flush objects around, maybe install a grate before letting water through.

Found this with legends-viewer:

Is this a normal Thing? 68000 horses?

[Fleeting Frames]

It is within normal limits, assuming more than that number horse-keepers died.

Though it used to be that worlds had horses outnumber humans to massive extent in early DF2014.

Thanks for the answer!
I wondered that there are so many horses, but nearly no sheeps or cows. Never seen both in Adventure mode.

Hi,

I got a dwarf who makes wine, there are plenty barrels to him, and he is thirsty (arrow down). How is it possible?

1. Have you set up a still?
2. If yes, does that still have the job set up to make booze?

Dwarves won't make things automatically, you have to make the jobs to make alcohol for them to drink.

Hope that can help you

Hi,

Yes, there is a still, which works, as there is plenty of barrels with wine and other staff. I am wondering, why this dwarf is thirsty and do not use full barrels.

[Fleeting Frames]

Does the dwarf have working hands? Dwarves without hands cannot hold a goblet to drink (though they can still drink from the barrel if you have no goblets, they'll eternally keep trying to pick up the goblet otherwise).

[vylaern]

Do you mean his hands are not cut off? Or if he is busy?

[Fleeting Frames]

I mean are his hands cut off or paralysed due nerve damage or localized permanent syndrome.

What is a difference between Meeting Area and Meeting Hall?

[Shonai_Dweller]

A meeting area can be designated as a special location (tavern, temple, library).

A meeting hall is just a hall, functions as an area for dorfs to hang out (originates from a time before we had taverns). The caravan functions as a 'meeting hall' at the beginning and I think you can designate one from a well too.
