I just had my first fortress destruction with the Steam version, had some fun features.  A demon popped out to attack a careless miner. Both the miner and the demon were killed quickly, no biggie, happens all the time.  But shortly afterward, I started getting reports of mass deaths.  I couldn't figure out quite what was going on but the deaths were clustering around the dining hall.  I then noticed a puddle of "demon goo" in the mist generator, presumably washed off the axedwarfs who killed the fiend.  Other dwarfs then walked through the puddle (or it was spread by the mist?), caught the syndrome and died horribly.  Interestingly, some dwarfs tried to go the well to wash the goo off.  Inevitably, some died while doing so...and the visiting poet hanging out there turned out to be a necromancer, who then animated the corpses, who then killed any other dwarfs trying to wash the goo off.  Population dropped from 120 to 20 within one season, and the miasma from the corpses drove the rest insane. I haven't had a fort collapse so suddenly in years. Good fun!

Oh, very nice. I remember the last time I had a full collapse was a were-animal-caused loyalty cascade.

It is good to know the syndromes form the goo and such still work. All the forgotten beasts I have faced with deadly spittle and deadly dust and deadly blood that didn't seem to do anything to my dwarves had me worried it was bugged out of existence.
