I'm at 60 FPS with 15 dwarves.

[Jacob/Lee]

I'm at 60 with 170 dwarves.


Also: I've noticed that Dwarf Fortress gets a considerable FPS increase on Windows 7 from Windows XP. Roughly 40-45 FPS at 150 dwarves.

I have a 10 GB HDD and 1 GB ram.
'99 IBM fuck yeah.

[Lamphare]

if DF could somehow support multicore....
then i suppose i could run 300, or even 400 dwarfs at 60, though i capped it to be 30.

After the goblins got thwarted and some minor skirmishs in the forums the dwarves now fight the strangler as a desert. However, an army of frogmen pikemen showed up and joined the fray. Come to think of it, I need to buff pikes soonish. During the confusion, the 2nd military captain's mandate of coffins have been missed. The chief engineer, also second-in-command has been imprisoned for failure to delivery o.O

An elephant aggroed one of my hauler and started strangling his neck. I immediately send an another hauler like 10 tiles away to help, This guy is a novice axeman with a plain copper axe. And despite 7 pages of axing axtion, he still couldnt manage to kill it and his friend was suffocated.

Don't you mean his friend was axphyxiated?

I just swapped out the bronze/black bronze/iron crap I got from various goblins and kobolds for steel weapons. A shame, a bunch of them had less notable but amusing kills, like random cats that were outside.

My militia commander hurt her right hand fighting a Gorlak. She is now weilding a bronze shield and a bronze battle axe in her left hand. I am eager to see if she is still effective like this.

A flying, feathered, firebreathing tapeworm forgotten beast attacked my fort and somehow got through my walls. Here is the result of the attack.

Is it bad that I think a parent not being able to hold their child due to having no arms is funny?

[Jacob/Lee]

In real life it would be; but this is Dwarf Fortress so it isn't.

My fort has been going for about a two years, but I've only gotten a handful of migrants, totaling to 15 dwarves. I built much bigger in anticipation, but now I'm stuck with a fort that barely has enough hands to run itself. I'm trying to mass produce wealth in order attract some more dwarves, so hopefully I'll have more dwarves before invaders knock on my door.

check your civ. It's probably dead.

Crazy badass militia commander is dead  . She was killed by a forgotten beast, so I guess it's an honourable death. I also just bought everything the humans had, selling them only things left lying around the Depot after the Elves were murdered. The economic system works!

It is a great day for counsiledmines the metropolis of the north. the ice moat will soon be bubbling with good molten magma, preventing any would be attackers in their tracks should they attempt to threaten the obsidian walls. the only entrance now is through the drawbridges and hall way of slicey doom.

Buzzards stole my food. Foraged to not die until the caravan came. Overdid irrigation a bit, but it ended well.

Kinda low on booze, but it's a succession game and my turn is over.
