My framerate above 100.

Oh god yes.

If the game was just single, huge counter that filled the screen and never dropped below 100, I would be content.

Just to make you all jealous.

When mine drops it seems to never increase which is strange.
No matter how many dwarves I kill, no matter how many items I atomsmash it never recovers.
Maybe I just have terrible fortress layouts.
180-190

Today i caught a werechamelion who was a elf. She was captured in her elf form first, so i was already pleased to have a tree lover behind bars. When she starting turning, i couldent stop smiling. Now she sits in my mayors dining room.

human cage contains a were-sloth.


Also, I love it when my legendary siege-operator children manage to shoot a copper ballista arrow straight.  Even with legendaries and masterwork parts, its pretty rare they shoot straight.

Seeing a whole mouthful of teeth spatter everywhere.

Just today a Minotaur socked a kitten so hard in the mouth that something like 20 teeth flew out. Such a brilliant spread, all with their blood trails and decaying velocities. I giggled like an infant.

When I got sieged by a Cyclops and by Goblins at the same time. Goblins finished him off immediately.

Bronze colossus appears during goblin sieges.

It's like watching The Juggernaut beat up on a horde of kindergardeners.

Having ~200 chickens born and then designating them  to be thrown into the volcano and then watching the death count in the unit screen.

Armok is pleased.

Oh also playing on a 300 dorf fortress with 60 fps

KodKod, I cannot see your picture. It is an X.

But as it is apparantly related to the Juggernaut beating up 5 year olds, I think it's important to share.

That colossus looks more like a steampunk automaton of unusual size.

I think Toady had more of a Greek Talos in mind, personally....

Talos was basically a thin skin of cooled bronze in the shape of a man, created by Hephaistos, filled with molten bronze.  IIRC, the argonauts killed him by peircing his heel, allowing the molten bronze to gush out.

I'm going to be honest, I'm completely smitten with the idea of them being an automaton of questionable origin, killing machines crafted by unknown hands in a time before time.

It's like the pinnacle of dwarfiness.

And lo, did Urist the First create the colossus in his image. And he commanded it to go, and annihilate the ever-loving piss out everything it saw henceforth. And he saw that it was good.
