This is a pretty small thing really, but something I've always found unrealistic (if we can speak of such things in a game like this). There ought to be a morale boost, when a siege is ended or a forgotten beast rampage is ended in your fort. As it is currently, dwarves couldn't seem to care less that the hundreds of goblins who sought to kill them all are now impaled, dismembered, drowned, smashed, splattered, disemboweled, bludgeoned, arrowed, melted or otherwise made dead. All the ending of a siege brings now is the added stress of clean-up and the danger of spontaneously combusting wagons.

Bonus points (more positive thoughts) could be given for the quick ending of a siege and, if it's a matter a balance, stress levels could go up as sieges drag on and all your dwarves start to go stir-crazy. It would make waiting out a siege even more of a challenge and give some incentive against turtling.

I think that bad thoughts from prolonged sieges make sense but only after a long time and made worse by casualties even among dwarves who had no acquaintance with the dead.

As for moralle boost after the end, maybe it should also be lessened by each casualty the goblins made. It makes sense for them to be happy but less so if the cost was very high.

Now with FBs, it doesn't make as much sense for them to give bad thoughts. If you wall them off in a cavern, it shouldn't be a problem for moralle at all. A feeling of resentment and desire for revenge could develop for every casualty the FB makes though.

In any case, slaying FBs, titans, ending sieges and perhaps other events that have been suggested before such as noble weddings and so on should definitely be moralle boosters.
