Furthermore, people have ]been begging ]for multithreading since 2006.  Don't hold your breath.  I don't think I've ever seen a quote where Toady's even considered it, no matter how many people complain about how easily it could be done, mostly because Toady's never worked with multithreading, and thinks it would be too much of a bother (would require destroying a ton of code) to try learning it.

I'm glad he doesn't. I don't think I would have gotten around to having kids if I hadn't walked away from my epic fortresses due to fps death.

I don't know if you need other ideas when you have magma.

I had success in creating mostly dwarfless worlds in past versions by limiting the amount of mountains/other hilly areas.  Not sure if this will work with the newer version, but it might be worth a shot.  Also: getting rid of caravans and migrants past the first two waves should be as simple as removing the brackets from [ACTIVE_SEASON:AUTUMN].  No caravan/trade rep means no update to whatever the game is counting as your civilization.

It's faster to write "!!science!!" than any of the synonyms: "mad science", "dwarvern science", or "crimes against the laws of god and man".
