Has anyone used the entire embark screen. Not the 4*4, but the entire thing.

Edit: Crashed my computer.

I always embark on 16x16 sites. My current fortress on such a site has a population of over 100 and I still get over 40FPS.

I embarked with 120 dwarves and on a chasm. The 40 pages of creatures can really crash DF.

There was a time when cocksuits would have offended me. It's kind of bad that the time has passed.

How in Armok's name? I'm lucky if I get ~20 FPS on a normal sized, featureless, no megaproject, 100-ish dwarf map.

Yikes, the Orcs have a nasty language.  Traditional foreplay would be right out for them; how would they ever "say my name" for one another?  No wonder Ocrs are always so bloodthirsty and violent, they're getting sub-par action.

I tried it; I got it to load, but even with my monster, I get ~15 FPS.

Then again, I was also trying an island nation out. Of course, damn aquifers held me back from doing anything serious, as well as annoying framerate.
