Terrifying / reanimating fort, 2 years old. Been rough times, lost the surface to undead before the first Mountainhome caravan. Got through that first winter by the skin of our teeth. We've never had much, and moods are beginning to fray. The majority of the dwarves are extremely stressed out, a few have been throwing tantrums, and at least two have lapsed into depression or melancholy. Nearly every single dwarf in the fort has multiple undead kills, many of them having slain the same undead dwarf corpse multiple times. It's the undead fighting that stresses them the most.
Needless to say I have not been overly careful with my wrangling of the little alcoholic buggers during the occasions they are, by necessity, outside. I'm sure that several of them have needed to kill the reanimated corpse of a (former) loved one. Naturally these things do not sit well.
The citizenry has grown to around 80 now, with quite a few visitors petitioning for residency.
Also a dragon showed up a few months ago and started melting anyone that arrived on-map, which was something in the neighborhood of 500+ individuals by the time the thing went down to accumulated bleeding. They just kept arriving, I think the game was trying to meet some "visitor" quota, and kept spawning new guests when the old ones died. It was particularly funny when an entire dance troupe would arrive, and then a few seconds later I'd read "Urist McBumblefeet, dancer, has been found melted".
Half the map is carnage and ashes.
Also the dragon carcass arose as an undead dragon, which is much less horrifying given that its breath weapon is gone. It's still wandering around up there, though - I'll have to deal with it somehow.
The more immediate problem, however, is the brewing tantrum spiral.
Thanks for listening!
