And true dwarves will weep on the day we can once again say the words "The Caravan from Lancerash has arrived"

Ooh please add me to the list for a turn, and dwarf me!

Ok I checked out the new ones, with my pretty mid ageing computer, tested FPS on 4x4 standard embark, just after starting so not many dwarves, no caves etc. no flowing water on embark
Multithreading on: 20 FPS
Multithreadong off: 25 FPS sometimes dipping a bit lower but never below 20
World 2 I get about 25-30 with mutlithreading
World 3 HUGE improvement, around 40-45!

As for actual preference, I like world 1 the most, there are SOOOO many sites, which seems more exciting to me, I also like that there are a few disparate islands  but people like me would definitely be in for a bit of a FPS slog, I'm fine with that (you should see how slow playing seamenace is), but there it is for other people to consider.
I also like world 2 more than world 3, it has a more spaced out feel, a lot of plains it seems to me, overall size apart world 3 seemed a bit sparse.
All that said maybe it's better not to be so ambitious for such a project 
At any rate if we're making the decision based on FPS I think we should be going all the way down to world 3

sounds hype, i'd give it a turn.  I think steam version would be a good idea too, from what I've seen I think it runs a bit less laggy, and presumably improvements will continue in that regard.  Are you planning to wait for adventure mode patch then? thats a little bit of time away still

how do above ground plants work in 50.11? is it civ based? because I don't have many options for some reason...
Also did you disable caves you sly elf?

edit- turns out im just REALLY bad at finding caves...

so is the idea that we won't reveal our scores until the deadline? I'm still only in year 2... any advice for how to count the barrels? i can see how many barrels i have, and how many drinks I have but theres nowhere that lists both is there (in 50.11)?

Count this as my signup post.. when i get home i'm going to give it a go

Ooh very cool i'll give it a look.  For a long time i've been thinking about having a campaign set in one of my DF worlds..
