Meh, I'll keep chugging along on mine, the demons are much friendlier in my world from the sounds of it. 30 FPS may be slow, but it somehow occupies my short attention span. :) New annex walled off and the hotel is almost completely furnished.
Hah, my hell fort gets about 10 FPS. I actually learned to play DF on an old computer and never got more than 40, and even now I have it capped at 50, anything more feels like it's giving me epilepsy.
Mac voodoo, maybe? *shrug*

Wow, neat.

I take it demons don't breed, as such, in the wild? A fully automated demonskull totem and obsidian export industry, housed within a demonsoap tower, would have to be pretty much the ultimate df achievement.

i still strongly believe that since hell is defeated that the fort is boring.  Because if you have a army that can defeat hell a stupid goblin seige can't kill.  So all will die because of boredom

Here's an idea: cap the glowing pits, dig a tunnel that goes under the ocean, and another that goes into the great magma sea.  Flood both magma and water under there until both empty out completely.  Now send a team of artisans down to start carving obsidian statues.  You never need worry about money ever again.

And a thought occurs: if you made soap out of those poison demon squirrels, wouldn't it dissolve your flesh when used?  I THINK WE HAVE OUR NEXT EXPORT TO THE ELVEN KINGDOMS, GENTLEMEN!!!

Actually you could experiment now with anmals and syndroms. Maybe you can coat some weapons in the squirreldemon blood for sage against the nxt wave f gobbos.

No. What we need to do is make a dwarven demonic space cannon. Mine out each adamantite shaft and turn one of them into a super long adamantite shaft that reaches the surface, this is the barrel. Use the demon soap to make explosives like they did in fight club, this is the propellant. Then infinitely launch demons into orbit around the planet, bonus if they land inside of a forest retreat.

*Nods in approval.*  Damn, that's impressive.  I've done all the science I can think of in Hell via short-lived expeditions, cheating, and adventurers, but a working fort is new to me.  The pits are identical to glowing pits and bottomless pits from 40d, as far as I can tell, and I have seen no evidence that anything spawns out of them.  Wall off the edges and you're invincible.
Alternatively, wandering demons won't rape your FPS like the first batch that spawns does, so if you ever wanted to build a hell-cannon that shoots demons or something...

>Hell-cannon that shoots demons.

DEAR GOD AND I THOUGHT THE GLASS-MAGMA CANNON WAS A GOOD IDEA! F*** your save, f*** my solid-gold underwater pyramid complex, f*** my solid gold archer tower! This is the best idea since... since... me!

I already have, involuntarily. When picking up weapons covered in squirrel demon blood, dwarves die. A lot.

Its too bad dwarf fortress doesn't yet have the option to make items/furniture out of multiple materials. Or at least a workshop dedicated to tipping swords and arrows with poisons.

The avatars of the two people above me look familiar...

Anyway, weapon poison would be awesome, but it's going to be a while before we get it. I think Toady has said that it's planned, but then again, what ISN'T planned in DF?

I hope the ability to ascend to the heavens and slay the gods will become possible. Then you colonize heaven, and hell. :D

Then open an inter dimensional rift, and colonize earth while you're at it. O:
