No, by his maths SPEED:1 would result in a speed of 101. This is still ludicrously fast.

Accually, speed is EXTREMELY powerful when vamped up to speed:1 or even speed:0.
speed:1 gives you (I'm assuming) 700 attacks per ONE of the other entities attacks, because the default its 700 right?
That gives you 7 HUNDRED chances to get a lucky hit. Versus ONE attack from the enemy.
Fat chance. Actual speed is 100+[SPEED] and [SPEED] never go under 0. That's why default [SPEED] is 900, so actual default speed is 1000.

I don't think so. SPEED:1 is way faster than [SPEED:900], but by your math speed:1 would only give you 901, which is less than 1000. In the early years of my forts, I like to cheat up the speed of my dwarves to get things started. (I'm impatient)

Also, I'm fairly sure you can set speed to zero, and things basically go lightspeed, though I've never done it.
this is true, they streak to their destinations, or just teleport depends on how good your computer is.
on the subject of over powered domestic animals try this:

put in creature_domestic or creature_standard
have yet to see one die, ever... extensive testing in arena mode

It's a long way to the top if you want dank memes.

If we're talking about self-modded pets, might just try this:

Remove megabeast, frequency and sphere-tags, add [COMMON_DOMESTIC] and your dwarves are going to have this nice,flying pet that passes time strangulating goblins while breathing fire to their faces.

Yes, mother ****ing walruses stormed in through my well room, fatally gored my expedition leader, and danced off into the frosty tundra to sing happy walrus songs about oysters.

Ok just a random question. Why the hell do you put those quotes in such small boxes? It's hard to navigate them!

Common convention with code is to use a fix width font.
