every time a flying creature enters the map the FPS drops by 10 (and it isn't high to begin with).

I feel your pain. I removed [FLYING] from ravens because of this.

Ah, now I know what it was that kept nagging me unconsciously about me forgetting something after raw editing for the new version.
Right. Use the search function on all creature files to remove [FLYING] from everything except dragons and rocs.

The fortress of Bigballs has entered its second year, and a new crop of sweet pods has been sown. The outpost liaison has finally left, and the elven caravan came with a surprisingly light load. A library has been established along with paper processing, but research has to be done before we can produce written literature for our dwarves to educate themselves with.

Unfortunately, a large ducksplosion happened, and many ducks got stuck in a tree. Now, the ducklings won't stop fighting, and nor can any dwarves get them down. We also have a bag shortage, and because the expedition leader insists on making bags with dyed cloth, a serious production bottleneck has developed.

[martinuzz]

Oh, it's not [FLYING], it's [FLIER]

Does anyone know if I only need to remove those tags nowadays, or do I also need to remove [APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:STANDARD_FLYING_GAITS: ... ] ?

A visiting lady macedwarf gave birth to a baby girl at my fort: she must've been pregnant when she arrived. Since she was just a visitor, not a citizen, the baby was listed as "Friendly" in my units screen, and neither the mother nor anyone else would pick her up. This, predictably, did not end well. The baby repeatedly fell down the central staircase until she landed at the bottom, still alive but badly broken up, and vomiting profusely. Endeavoring to keep the little one safe until she grew up, I followed her until she crawled into a room, then locked the door behind her. But it was too little too late, and she died of her wounds. And, since she wasn't a member of my civilization, my dwarves refused to bury her: her remains rotted on the floor until I designated a corpse stockpile just for her.

Dwarven child-care at its finest, folks.

I picked up the game again after five or six years away, and am currently working to get a handle on all the changes.

I found the caverns a while back, and immediately walled it off to prepare a more proper entryway (namely one with a jillion cage traps).  However, I accidentally designated an ore vein on that z-level for automining, and around the time the second cage trap was finished, a flood of Monster Hunters swarmed down that vein and out into the caverns.  So now I'm scrambling to get a good enough feel for the military interface to protect the haulers who are carrying out the ever-growing piles of dismembered troglodytes and murderhobos.

Bellsrings is subject to recurring (at least once a year) forest fires, despite not having anything that actually sets them on fire.  The original fire was caused by a Brush Titan, but now it just happens every time the woods get green again.

In other news, I've finally had it with the visitors clogging my tavern, eating my FPS for breakfast.  After almost 5 years of DF, I finally built my first drowning room and designated it as the outsider tavern.  I feel dirty, but the hell with these people.

You can set maximum amount of visitors in the d_init.

[Fleeting Frames]

Most of them don't really respect it in new version.

just started a fortress with a near death civ (only has a king) and near two nations that are at war with my civ....this ought to be fun

All you need is to take off flier.

I have a abusive relationship developing in my fortress.
My expedition leader and a miner have been romantically involved for a season or two.
Expedition leader just got into an argument with her and brawled her into hospital with head wounds and ripped ankle muscles. The head wound is infected now, had no soap or well yet, late autumn year 1.

On the bright side, I haven't seen any hordes of visitors yet.

A Dark Elf ambush. Curse them!
Not enough time to get everyone inside, the only military are off questing. Bolts fly with deadly accuracy, the swordsman lays into the children with his grown-steel sword. It's a tragedy.

But wait, what's this? A merchant caravan has arrived from the mountainhomes. The Dark Elves foolishly think it's a juicy target. Two martial trances later and the last living elf is crawling his way off the map.

Outpost liasion didn't make it, but there's always more of them around.

I finally got a working magma minecart elevator up and running. I tried to idiot-proof the accesses so dwarves wouldn't have any reason to climb in randomly.

Emphasis on tried.

Spoiler: minecarts have no mercy (click to show/hide)
