The problem I've had with dwarves claiming rooms is that they had a tendancy to sleep on the nearest bed, regardless of who(if anyone) owned it, whether or not they had one themselves, which prevented them from claiming a room. This might have been an older version, and it might have been fixed for .18, but I've been assigning each room individually(and they've been sleeping in their assigned rooms).

This bug has been fixed. :)

Additional note: if you put chairs and tables in the bedrooms, dwarves will use them instead of your main dining room. If you've put a lot of effort into making a legendary dining room and you want the dwarves to get the related happy thoughts, don't put chairs and tables in their rooms.

Obviously, nobels are the exception since they require individual rooms.
This also has the effect of making your dwarves very unlikely to make friends.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

Friends + Partial Fun = Tantrum Spiral = Total FUN

I'm giving every single dwarf their own personal legendary dining room. Just to avoid nobles tantrumming with the ‼☼not-bluemetal-hammer☼‼'s, nobles get legendaryer dining rooms.

Burning platinum warhammers.  The world cannot survive.  Speaking of flaming weapons, I've been debating the combat effectiveness of making dwarves fireproof and making their weapons burn.  Perhaps turn that into a "fire incubus" race though...

I'm getting off-topic though.
