Just for fun, to see what would happen, I turned Temperature off.
FPS DOUBLED
EDIT: Hey, orcs have wargs! That's pretty awesome.
EDIT2: Ambushed by the KOBOLDS???
Someone just killed half an orc siege single-handed. I have dubbed him Orc Slayer. Also, I now understand why we were making copper bolts.
However, they messed up a trade caravan in the process. A dwarven trade caravan.
We are down to 25 dwarves, no children, and DS is still a cripple.
Migrants refuse to replenish our numbers.
I dicked around with the magma trying to cut a passageway down to the flooded fortress. No dice. Hmmm. There might be another way...
EDIT3: hahaha I tried the same tactic Tack did. Down to breaching the aquifer. Maybe I can save it.
EDIT 4: I had to resort to magma. Father Zulban caught fire, so I've locked him into a flooded room on the top flooded level hoping that he'll cool off. I admit, just to see what would happen, I scummed someone pulling him to dry ground, where he promptly started smoking and caught fire, and five dwarves died. It might be best to leave him inside that locked room as long as possible.
There is a note marking his location.
EDIT 5: Otherwise, I've sealed off the breach Barbarossa made into the failed Spark Gate's aquifer and started the drainage process. The rest is up to the next guy. There are two levers next to each other, near the pumps and the floodgates that unleash magma. The one on the left controls the pumps and should be labeled. The other controls the magma floodgates and may not be labeled.
Our mayor the Mad Architect wants chrome items. If you melt down the kobold crap, you might get some chrome. Otherwise, I have no clue how to get it.
*Just as the previous overseer finishes writing, he catches fire from a magma golem's fireball and dies horribly, with his beer-soaked beard ablaze and his skin melting off.*

http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1441I've done all I care to do; it was horribly disheartening seeing not one, but two of the children I picked as my player avatars killed by fire. It is said that after Ragnarok, the humans hidden by Vidarr repopulated the world anew; the siblings I chose have led the dwarves of SG to do so, but at a high cost: there are 25 dwarves left, one burning, one crippled, and 11 military.
If there is still time left in my turn, however, whoever wants it can have it.
