I see what you guys mean, now. I just started a game did nothing but lick the clay ground then was maimed by a giant eagle where i bled to death.  :-\     I just had another go and was devoured by wolves within seconds (literally).

There are 2 reasons that come to mind that would explain why you became an instant murder machine:
1) If you create an adventurer from a civilization, you are made superpowerful.
2) peasants and other non-military people can't fight. I've seen large populations of people be reduced severely from mountain goat herds wandering through town.
But congratulations on joining the ranks of the criminally insane adventurers.
That about summed it up. I spent a good while murdering children and craftsmen i think i took down like 3 trained warriors but that was after I pretty much power level'd 3 skills to legendary. TIME TO PLAY PLAY NOW! Thanks!

So I'm playing my first adventure mode and instinctively stabbed the first person I saw. I'm pretty much murdering the town despite heavy resistance. I've been blocking everything and now at this point i just think there's a glitch or something -- this shouldn't be happening. What do you think?
And sorry for the picture overload.

A dwarf died today in the hospital, and another dwarf ran in and jumped in bed with his corpse.  I decided to use the hospital as a tomb too.
That made me uneasy

I find them interesting, and read them whenever I notice there is a new one.

Also, this is the section for Armok I, so this *might* be misplaced...
Awfully sorry, I had no idea.

DF General Discussion / Performance on Dwarf Fortress
« on: July 20, 2010, 04:00:05 pm »
I've never encountered any performance issues on Dwarf Fortress, however, none of my forts have ever had a high population then say... 20 total critters. (Including dwarfs, cats, dogs etc etc). Based on the specs listed below is there anyone that could gage my computers ability on handling larger forts with like 50 or so plus dwarfs?

Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 2.00GHz
Ram: 3.00GB
OS 32-bit Vista
Video Card: ATI X1250 (128MB Pixel Shader 2.0 Vertex Shader 2.0) -- integrated

I've tried doing Adventure mode where I encounter a slight lag.
