I kinda just look at people talking about killing whole forts in this thread then I go and look at the adventure forum where they have topics on killing the whole worlds sentient population and I laugh a little.
Yeah, I think we'll just stay Stalin here and they can have the Mao-class.

Also, for some weird reason I can not seem to upload my fort...

There is fish in our pond.

Tiny little bastards but still.

I CAUGHT ONE WITH MY BARE HANDS.

(By trapping it in ice but STILL)
Why do I have a feeling liquid nitrogen was used in the process?

Nope, Our pond is mostly froze over from winter.
0_o... And a fish got caught in that?

Nah, Native 64 bit support isn't going to do much.

Multithreading, however, would kick-ass.

Still, in the end, the pathfinding code is just going to need to be improved upon, Bottom Line.
Heh, maybe those two can go hand in hand?

I'm going to bed, see ya all later :)

Ok, recap:

So if I double [trade_capacity] of (What do dwarves use, wagons also?) I'll get double the amount of trade goods?

Sounds perfect for my mini-fortress I'm planning! It will need many, many external ores to be brought in!

^^ Would be great though, once that all happens DF may finally speed up once again :D

Can't wait for dualcore/64bit support, although both will probably never be XD

40d19.2's shader mode offloads alot of the graphical calculations to the GPU.
I've heard so, but also that it would not work on ATI-cards.
I was not attacking you :)
Well i didn't know you had an ATI card at first.

Also, in order to gain some fps, you pulled the lever. The lever that floods the fortress.

Glad I wasn't the only one to catch that. So, how're your FPS what with all the fluid dynamics, and the pathing through mountains of water?

Also, lack of magma is ruining this thread.

MAGMA or GTFO!
Well, actually a bit above the 20. Probably the dwarves not working anymore has something to do with it :D

Magma would ruin it, due to its slow movement. Water is quick and just as deadly.

They dead yet?
I stopped it to make a uploadable .7z file, but I can't upload it for some reason (My connection seems to falter). I'll upload it as soon as I can later this week. (*Growl* Stupid provider...)

Hitler attempted genocide of specific kinds of people.

Stalin killed everyone. (In fact, I've been told Stalin managed to kill more people than Hitler overall.)

So, yeah, Stalin's a better comparison.

Hitler was insane. We're completely stable. Which makes it so much worse on a moral scale.
Ok... I feel like Stalin now. Is that better?

Better yet, use an open floorplan and not have any corridors at all, except perhaps those needed for a chokepoint defense.
I like this plan. Only a wall is a necessity.

I have no DirectX10 compatible card, sadly.
It is an 256mb x600 ATI card (Hypersomething)

So, I just killed nearly 150 dwarves, of which 1/5'th were children and babies. Due to my fps getting under 20.

This was on a 6x6 map.

What should I change in my next start to make sure this won't happen again?

- max dwarves lower? how low?
- map size down? how much?
- I do not want to change temperature and such, they are very much loved.
- A river will not be missing, since I need plenty of water to make weird things.

-- Last map had nearly 150 dwarves on a 6x6 location with a river crossing the entire map. Any needed further information will be given when requested :)

 WIDE CORRIDORS!

 They make a massive difference. Atomsmash your stone too. Can you pass us your old save, so we can see what you're doing? Also, I'll tell you the FPS that I get. : )
I am currently compressing my complete DF map, it has auto-backupsaves so you can look back as far as you want to :D
Currently my dwarves are not really happy as you might have noticed in the first post :D

Will upload and share as soon as compressed (right now at 31% ETA 5 min, then upload. It is a .7z file)

EDIT: Another baby...

The Terror of drowning has caused many mothers to give birth during this event.

Alternatively, "QUICK, BUILD A WALL OF BABIES!!!"
Somehow I feel like you have had an unpleasant event in your life concerning babies...

Fun thing:

They are currently in the only part of the fortress above the water, they refuse to drink the water and as such are busy dehydrating.
They are all standing next to my fields with many, MANY plumpy's.

:D Wonder what happens here ^^

EDIT: Another baby...

EDIT2: Mosus the baby has drowned...
