Most of the time my forts fail due to my sheer stupidity and mostly giving up because more important things had to be done.

Fort 1: Oh man this is confusing how do things work? - Necromancer ambush
Fort 2: Hey I understand workshops and farms now! - Goblins plus goblins, then more goblins plus me not knowning about drawbridges
Fort 3: Still going. Proper military and defense design make sieges a non-issue. Almost got wiped out a couple times by nasty syndromes. Probably would get wiped out if the spoilers get unleashed. Sloooooooooooooowly dying by attrition because of lack of new migrants in about 10 years. Also heading for FPS death.

My last three fortresses have crumbled because of outdoor weather and lack of plentiful booze, beds and dining room space. It gets to the point where a single dwarf dying topples my entire population like a collapsing Jenga tower.

Then it happened. Then I cringed. Then I picked it up and beat him to death with it, and then his buddies, too.
You beat a man to death with his dick?
