FPS Death in fortress mode happens over time as population increases, amount of items on the map increase, and more open space gets emptied out making pathfinding more difficult. These are all very slow, cumulative effects.

In adventurer mode, none of those things happen. There are still FPS problems though, if you enter a very high population density area like a large city, dwarf fortress, or dark fortress. I've never seen an elf site large enough to slow down the game significantly, but they probably can exist.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

Was in one earlier today, in fact.

I know kinda off topic but this should probably be moved from the Modding section to the Adventure Mode section.

Yes mostly in large citys.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.
