Historical migrants: DANGEROUS! Dwarfs keep their bad mood after migrating to a new fort. Mine tantrummed the first day

Shit, I just abandoned a fort dying from the plague in a pocket world. Three quarters of the world's dwarven inhabitants lived there, and probably a quarter of them are infected.
So much for Ospazslozgo, the World of Fucked Embarks.

Time to break out the ol' quarantine zone system.

Same thing here, just received: a mason still angry about a cave-in; a mother miserable because of a misscarriage. Such things.

Looks like the main problem is that her baby suffocated at your fort for some reason, actually.

Yes. Well this all happened less than ten seconds after entering the map: the baby suffocated four tiles from the edge of the map with no visibile cause. It must have somehow been ill already

Also, her profile is that of a dwarf that has been at your fort for a month or more, as she's already slept once (and woken up as well). Room quality stats from their off-map dwellings are not simulated or taken into account, so it must have been at your fort.

Yeah, my previous fort, that is (The Roasted Slugs of Fire)

I have had seven dorfs migrate to my fortress and either kill themselves or kill everyone else within seconds just for this reason.

A friend of mine had the same thing happen once, his fort was spiraling in a zombie invasion. He abandoned it and started a new one in the same world, and from the second migration wave onward, he kept getting the miserable survivors of his last fort.

Protip: Don't abandon during a disaster, just let everyone die!
I guess we finally have a reason to develop doomsday devices besides dorfyness
Yeah, I abandoned a fort that had a bunch of berserking dwarves.
I didn't realize they basically act like ambushers and are invisible until they attack your dwarves.
I eventually had to reclaim with a team of soldiers with weapons and shit just to sweep through the remains of the fort and clear out the berserkers.
