I embark. It's a nice place. Cold grassland to the left, packed with sedimentary flux and holding a brook. Terrifying freezing mountain to the right, also sedimentary flux. The framerate drops from the cap of 200 as I unpause, and continues to drop until the FPS is 1 (1) and items on the wagon take several seconds to blink. What. I mess around with the settings, load up an existing fortress to check the FPS... Luckily I always keep a fresh copy of any genned world, so I load that up and set off to the same place with seven peasants and a wagon. First message of the game?

"Horrifying screams come from the darkness below!"

This time the framerate remains steady at ~200, but since there was no announcement for the original fortress it's going nowhere. So yeah, demons killed my fortress in two days through a couple of dozen layers of solid rock. I'll have one more go at proper preparation, because it is a good site, but grr.

I specifically called this fortress Drownedcaverns the Sunken Halls of Omen. I'd say that having a location where the howling of hell itself can be heard on the surface is a pretty big omen.
