What do you even DO on a site that big!?

True, but at a certain velocity the resulting explosion expels invader-bits at fatal speeds. You don't want to be dropping trogdolyte-shaped shrapnel bombs into your boneworks.
Only in Dwarf Fortress...

I always embark on 16x16 sites. My current fortress on such a site has a population of over 100 and I still get over 40FPS.
What is this i don't even

Ooh, 3 dimensional recursive tantrum spiral as dorfs lose their 'accounts' in the nested games.  I can see it now... but what would you call it?  Tantrum N-ary Tree?  Tantrum Wavefront?  Tantrum Fractal?

I think we've just developed z-levels for tantrum spirals...  :o

Speaking of which, how is fire in the new version?
out of personal experience, where a dwarf was set alight by a magmaman, ran up 150 flights of stairs, and divebombed into the booze stockpile, I'd have to say fire is the same as always.

Netbook here, I get 70FPS after the first migrants.
And this is with pretty much no animals in the units list.
Once I hit 50 dwarves or so I'm down to like 20 FPS
