Tomb design

OK - being pretty minimalist at the moment - my tomb looks like this:

Any problems with this? I know nobles eventually will want a smoothed room with platinum statues and gee-gaws to pretty the place up but I'm not getting to that yet. Is it easy enough to relocate an occupied coffin to somewhere out of the way, so that it is easier to bury freshly dead?

Yeah, just dismantle the coffin, and rebuild somewhere else. By the way, only use tombs for the nobles. Use an above-ground graveyard for everyone else. Trust me, you'll get bogged down by corpses in year 10+ if you don't. --AlexFili 05:23, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

Verify request

I have 200+ dwarfs, all with their own tombs. None of them get a bonus for having one. Can anyone verify for 40d that the happiness bonus exists?
By the way, I've a fortress with 10+ years and not had the problem AlexFili noted. I do agree, though, that without a happiness bonus, it doesn't really make sense to make individual tombs.--Kwieland 11:42, 10 March 2009 (EDT)

Upon checking, I'm not seeing any such thoughts on any dwarves, and since I usually give my soldiers their own burial receptical (for sentimental reasons), I have checked quite a few. It holds true for both nobles and non-nobles, even when the nobles' tomb is above their required level. So I'm going ahead and taking it out. --LegacyCWAL 12:54, 10 March 2009 (EDT)
