[heyguys]

despite having a pretty kickin-rad comp i get like a few FPS too, i was hoping you guys would get a workaround.

No worries 123big, just post in the thread when you get one of the later saves to work at speeds acceptable you you, and then let us know you want to take that turn.

[Robocorn]

Maybe oglokoog will do better.
we'll see if he can do it, if not we'll have to see who has high enough fps to get through a whole year.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I'll try when I get home on Sunday.

[Robocorn]

good on ya. We skipped your turn a while back. Was never quite sure why.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Same reason I'm waiting until I get home: The computer I'm on now is shit.

[Oglokoog]

I'll try when I get home on Sunday.

Please do, I'm not quite sure I'm ready to take my turn yet.

[Robocorn]

I can't wait for you guys to start tomorrow, It's gonna be sweet.

[Quatch]

Looks like we're about to get 31.04! with the merge! That could help your framerate problems.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Opening save now.

5 minutes later...

8 fps. Wow. I'm just gonna throw a kitten into the volcano and call it a turn.

5 more minutes later...

It dropped to 7. 

Yeah. This fort may as well be dead due to FPS. I'm releasing the forgotten beast and digging deeper.
TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!!

After getting rid of the current inhabitants:

Spoiler: Roll Call! (click to show/hide)

14 Snow Haunts: A huge spider composed of snow. It has three stubby horns and it undulates rythmically. Beware its poisonus bite!

11 Ribbon Worm Monsters: A towering scaly ribbon worm. It has thin wings of stretched skin and it appears to be emaciated. Its pumpkin scales are blocky and set far apart. Beware its poisonous bite!

11 Haunts of Salt: A great sparrow composed of salt. It has a stubby horn and it has a gaunt appearance.

18 Chicken Fiends: A great eyeless chicken. It has large mandibles and it undulates rythmically. Its beige feathers are long and sparse. Beware its fire!

9 Snow Devils: A great humanoid composed of snow. It has wings and it has a bloated body. Beware its poisonous sting!

11 Devils of Flame: A towering spider composed of flame. It has a short trunk and it has a gaunt appearance. Beware its poisonous bite!

8 Steam Brutes: A great quadruped composed of steam. It has a broad shell and it undulates rythmically.

11 Phantoms of Snow: A great monkey twisted into humanoid form composed of snow. It has a bloated body. Beware its poisonous sting!

9 Snow Devils: A great turkey composed of snow. It has large mandibles and it undulates rythmically.

2 Red Phantoms: A gigantic tarantula composed of flame. It has a stubby horn and it has a gaunt appearance. Beware its poisonous bite!

104 demons.
eep.

"Goldanguishes: Succession Glacier Volcano Fort with Antmen and DOOM" is right.

EDIT: 48 demons dead. Four dead of our military (assuming zero casualties before now), with another two resting and constantly being interrupted. I'm not checking the civilian deaths, because I didn't bother to see how many dead there were before breach.

[Oglokoog]

I downloaded the save (not sure if it's the latest one, it was from page 12 or 13 I think) and the FPS was at exactly 7 too. My limit of playability is somewhere around 15, so I guess unless we figure out what is causing this (the fortress is not THAT massive, is it?), there's really nothing we can do. It's a shame.
Maybe we could start over?

NO. I conquered Hell. It was an hour and a half at 3 fps, but the rest of the demons are content to slaughter crundles in the caverns. WE DO THIS. Just leave it running in the background or somesuch.

Spoiler: Proof (click to show/hide)

This would be caused by a chicken fiend, for those who are curious.

EDIT: They stopped pathing to my dwarves. Back up to 7. I can deal with this kind of framerate because my netbook got 25-30 fps on embark in 40d. This is normal for me.

EDIT2: These crundles are badass. They're zerg rushing the demons. Twenty or so of them are dead, but they took out two demons.

[Robocorn]

I always knew crundles loved us.
They love us enough to make the ultimate sacrifice for us for no reason other than love. I take off my crundleskin cap to you crundles.

14th Opal

Two more military dwarves died recently. All our miners have been drafted. The demons seem to have decided to attack us again. Currently, nobody important has died (OOC: Ast'Risk is still the only dead named dwarf), but HeyGuys is wounded and resting(lower body, liver, left false rib). Interestingly, his last diagnosis was on the "2rd Slate." I'll have to have a word with our doctor about his abbreviations. Grammar is important in health records!

Oddly, I don't see a tantrum spiral in our future. There are two unhappy dwarves, both unconscious in the hospital. This is the best possible outcome and the least awesome way for the HFS to be cracked.

[Robocorn]

How'd he only get injured by the demons? don't they throw blasts of fire and spit poison? It looks like he just got punched by something. At least our doctor is getting practice. Remember to floor over that hole we dropped the water down to the magma sea from (near the farm plots) the demons love going up there. (I just know)

[Urist Imiknorris]

Now you tell me. Four Haunts of Salt just flew up out of it chasing a cat.I retract my statement about this being the least awesome way to breach HFS. Somebody should have floored and walled it off long ago, before now, back when the magma had just been stopped. There could have been giant cave swallows or forgotten beasts. Or Haunts of Salt.

EDIT: Also, an unconscious metalcrafter just went fey.

EDIT2: My military got there "just in time." We're walling off the offending areas now.
