[Aqizzar]

Admini Guard Captain Aqizzar Atöldastot, Date Unknown

I do not know what has gripped the halls.  It feels as if we have drifted into another world, where the hours pass as normal, but the days stand still.  Is this a curse from the mines?  The last revenge our entombed lords?  Has our fetid abode finally descended into Hell itself?  Terror and despair lurks among us like a miasmic wraith, sapping our will to live, taunting us with a death we cannot reach.

But if will yet has meaning here, then I can truly stand no more.  I swear by the frozen air in my lungs, that the Eternal Halls will escape this mad prison.  I swear, life we go on.


Thursday is the Eternal Halls' birthday.  I can't say I'll actually have a finished save by then, but if nobody else is going to step up and continue this game, then as one of the original players, I guess I will myself.  Stay tuned.

Well, I'll continue as soon as I can find the last save anyway.

Don't forget that there's another guy before you, although he hasn't been active since May, so I doubt he'll show up.

This fort looks like absolute, chaotic hell.
Sign me up 

[Arathanar]

Do want. Sign me up.

Okay, so I downloaded the save a few days ago.  5 FPS.  And it takes nearly ten minutes to load and save.

I'm going to be honest.  I think this place is dead.  Oh, it could still keep going - I've even got some big plans.  I'll give it a shot over the weekend, but damn is it going to be slow.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Eternal Halls...

Posting so I can read Aqizzar's bluff.

Do you get better FPS if you play at the default 80x25?

Or, try turning temp/weather off. You don't really need 'em too much.

I suggest dumping all excess items into magma.

I suggest dumping all excess items into magma.

What happens if you designate a built statue for dumping?

The only problem with this is all the stone in the water system.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Kill all the animals. I did on The Turn that Never Happened, and that worked.
I got a good 5 or 6 extra fps.

[nahkh]

Destroy all the stone. That's usually my number one FPS-killer.

open up task manager, go to dwarfort.exe and right click.
Priority>AboveNormal.
If that doesn't work, set to the one above that.
No higher though, or anything else will be unbelievably slow.

That only helps if other stuff is running in the background.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Kill the children as well. It's not as if we need more dwarves.

Unless you're running in a hypothetical computational vacuum (a concept which I just made up), there will be other stuff running in the background.
