[Hans Lemurson]

I just tried it out, and personalised dormitories can give very valuable rooms very cheaply. I slammed 24 beds into a fairly large clay room and simply expanded every bed's room to include the entire area, which also holds a well. That already gave 24 'modest' bedrooms. I added two electrum statues, one fine and one superior, and all rooms are now 'fine quarters', good enough for a baron or mayor. That's two statues for twenty-four rooms, they're shared by them all.

Dwarven thought clearly contains subversive communist undercurrents.  Shiny things which when SHARED WITH OTHERS bring equal happiness to all? 

My GOD.  Where will it end?  Allowing elves to stay in the fortress overnight?

(I should be partially consoled by the fact that shared things are never seen as being as valuable as privately owned things.)

20 beds, 144 beds, 196 beds...11x11,12x12,14x14 it doesn't really matter that much.  Point is: royal quality for everyone doesn't require that you carve up the entire embark.  11x11 designates easily.

On my next fort I'm going to make a line of 2x1 cells with each having a bed, a door, and a glass window in the wall in between. Then designate each bedroom as having their own door and window. This way you would have the best of both worlds - personal bedrooms with happy thoughts from their own doors and windows, and being able to see any vampire attacks in the dead of night. At least I hope they will see the attacks - they can see enemies through windows so it should work.
