He defeats orc sieges without breaking a sweat.
He has created more wealth than the rest of his civilization combined.
He once got a yellow wound just to see how it would feel.
He is Morul, the most interesting dwarf in the world.

He once spent a week visiting a cave in which there lived seven giants.  Each day, he would come in, track down each of the giants, and beat it to the point of unconsciousness.

Have you tried lowering your GFPS cap in the init.txt? That usually helps when my FPS starts to die.

Oh, yeah.

Keep in mind the fortress is 60 years old, there are almost 800 animals (in cages and pens), 35,000 ammo, and a similar amount of stone. 6,000 thread, 7,000 bars, 15,000 blocks. A massive magma moat and now a flooding hunting area. There's a brook, an underground river, a chasm.

It all adds up.

I would personally suggest atom-smashing unwanted stone and animals, as they tend to get in the way of anything constructive.

I had a tantrum spiral and wiped out half the population. Doesn't that count for anything?

The underground hunting area is now flooded. I may have used too much water. 8 embark tiles under 3/4 water with only a 3 tile wide drain into the chasm. This might take a while...

Morul is still Talented Swordwarf. Waiting for the next siege.

Excellent. (copy/paste the link)

Yeah, Morul has never quite repeated that feat. He's gotten 40 tiles a number of times, but then he hasn't had a blunt weapon in ages.

I think it was/is linked to from the DF article. That or Memetic Badass. Or both.
