I'm thinking of editing the raws so I can get a monarch at a lower population cap (to stall the inevitable FPS death)

But looking at the d-init files, it says that I need a population of at least 100 to get current game features.

What are these features, exactly? And does anybody have any tips to improve FPS without taking away anything? I don't care much about world size, so long as there's enough to explore in adventure mode and plenty of !!FUN!! for fort mode, along with normal fun.

PS. I run DF on Toshiba Satelite laptop, so I don't have much power to work with.

Over 100 (isn't it 130?) is for the king.
Over 80 for goblin invasions unless you tweak their siege triggers slightly.
Titans at...60? I think (altered in advanced worldgen options).

That's most of what you need I think.

You'll need at least 140 dwarves for a king.
This is because you have to be a metropolis in order to become the mountainhome, which requires 140 dwarves in addition to the production requirements.

Therefore to get all features you'd need to reduce the population requirements for sieges and metropolis classification. Megabeasts might also need editing? I'm not certain.
Barony/County/Duchy only needs 20 dwarves so they're fine.

As Pirate Santa said, the monarch arrival requires a metropolis plus some stuff.

Apart from that, Titans are allowed to arrive at a pop of 80 (can be changed: it's one of the advanced world gen parameters). Other races are allowed to invade you once you get a pop of 80 (can be changed in entity_default.txt: [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POP_SIEGE:3] for a race means 80, 2 = 50, 1 = 20, 0 = Disable the trigger (i.e. this condition will not trigger sieges, so you'd need to enable another trigger to get them). There is one such parameter for each race).

Hm.. This has me curious, could you set the siege trigger to be the value of your fort? That would (to me) make more sense.

[PatrikLundell]

In addition to the pop trigger, there are also wealth and export triggers for sieges, so yes, that's possible. You have to look up what the values mean on the wiki, though, as I just set all three of them to 1 for all races.
