Okay, so here's my dilemma (some SECRET FUN STUFF ahead). First year, I was digging out my fortress, preparing rooms for future immigrants and workshop spaces, when I hit adamantine. Since I've read the wiki and the forums pretty regularly, I knew that I would get a king in my next migrant wave. So, I sped up fortress production a bit, but at the time I only had 16 dwarves, so I couldn't really accomplish much.

The migrants come, with the king as expected, and I assign them all rooms, and everything's fine for a few seasons. Later on, my fisherdwarf got attacked by a giant cave swallow (along with his adopted kittens   ). This isn't much of an issue, untill I bury the unfortunate dwarf. As it turns out, the king didn't like that this "nobody" fisherdwarf got his own private coffin, and he hadn't been assigned one yet! The king gets mad, throws something, and punches someone before calming down. Next, he discovers that my clerk has an office all to himself! Cue tantrum #2, no major damage (partially because it happens while the king is asleep). Now his bedroom is sub-standard, and he destroys my main bridge on tantrum 3.

Is there any way I can temporarily placate my king while I build a more royal bedroom, throne room, and crypt for him, before he destroys anything else?

edit: Never mind, the king just went melancholy.   :confused:

The way I dealt with my adamantine king was to make him a nice bedroom and coffin inside the adamantine pit and then lock him inside. Once he starved to death I buried him in there and sealed it up.

I didn't see if a replacement would eventually come or not, but I played for about another year and a half without one before I stopped playing the fort due to a recurring crash which was probably fixed in a later version, but I never went back.
