+ | When a dwarf has been {{L|Thought|unhappy}} enough, he'll decide that enough is enough and he'll throw a tantrum. Tantruming dwarves will cancel any job they may be doing at the moment and will start misbehaving, which includes starting fist fights (with the possibility of severely {{L|Wound|injuring}} other dwarves), toppling and destroying buildings or hurting {{L|pet}}s. This is of course {{L|Justice|illegal}}, and they will be imprisoned or flogged for their behaviour. But even though they are punished, if their punishment is {{L|Hammerer|more harsh than usual}}, their death (or the results of their misbehaviour) can cause another wave of tantrums, and your dwarves will begin a process known as a tantrum spiral which will almost certainly destroy your fortress. | ||
− | + | ===Example 1=== | |
− | + | (This requires lots of friends, married couples, and the oh so common bad luck.) | |
− | + | * Dwarf A, a {{L|craftsdwarf}}, gets the {{L|Strange mood|urge}} to build a mysterious construction, but unfortunately there are no 'body parts' or shells to be had. | |
− | + | * A goes {{L|Insanity|berserk}}, kills dwarf B, and wounds dwarf C. A is then struck down by dwarf H, making a unhappy thought for A's friend dwarf E. | |
− | + | * B's loved one dwarf D, and friends E and F, get a strong unhappy thought. | |
− | * | + | * D, going to help C, throws a tantrum. He kills C in his rage, giving another unhappy thought to C's friend F. |

− | + | * F, now horribly unhappy from the death of two of his friends, throws a tantrum destroying E and D's beds. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | * E, now ''very unhappy'' from two of her friends dying as well as losing her bed, goes {{L|Insanity|melancholy}} and commits suicide in a murky pool, giving an unhappy thought for D and J. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | * D, despite the happy thought for fighting (and killing) C, is overwhelmed by unhappy thoughts and tantrums again. This time he destroys a bridge, drowning F in the moat (as it has no ramps), and then punches dwarf G. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | * F's friends, I and J, both get an unhappy thought. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | * E's body rots, causing J to tantrum. He punches G, hospitalizing him. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | * D once again punches someone, this time I. | |

− | + | * D, finally being overwhelmed, goes stark raving mad. | |
− | + | * I, angry about being D's punching bag, punches J, and J punches H out of anger. | |
− | + | * D dives into magma, creating a unhappy thought for D's friend, H. | |

− | + | Fortress at the start: 10 "normal" dwarves. | |
− | + | Fortress after tantrum spiral: 9 dead dwarves, 1 berserk dwarf (likely soon to die from starvation/dehydration). Causing fortress-stopping {{L|Losing|fun}}. | |
− | + | ---- | |
− | |||
− | {{ | + | As a result of not having the right 'body parts' or any shells, your fortress falls. The main thing that started this mess was Dwarf B's death. And bad luck, isn't losing {{L|Losing|fun}}? |
