And don't forget their tower-cap allies. Can't even trust a fellow undergrounder, these days. One minute you're digging a canal, the next there's a fucking tower cap blocking the way and you starve to death because you can't get out.

You kidding? Have you not seen how much everyone wants to increase their FPS?

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Personally I voted for Raptors, but in all reality FPS drop would be my 2nd choice.

when my fps hits about 25 I call it quits and roll a new fortress.

Right now I am at 35-50, and that's through aggressive junk management, pathing optimization and making those paths wide.

Just by using 3 tile wide corridors compared to 2 made a significant difference, and also using wide staircases.  I only use narrow passages in the deeper caverns as usually I end up digging a wide stairwell only to have the next zlevel drop into empty space and i end up getting crazy corridors trying to work around it.

DF doesn't have a learning curve. It has a sheer cliff face. And you have to climb it with nothing but a keyboard.

Lots of things missing from the list I think.
Water, magma and sieges to name a few.

Still had to vote on the fps drops. Although I usually keep a quite small number of dwarfs around so it's usually not a problem. But when it happens it hurts more than anything else I can come up with now.

By the way, why are cats and fps drops two different options?  :o

Because people like me are responsible, and make their Cat's practice abstinence. I was actually thinking of combining them, but as I said. Stay safe use protection (cages).

All work and no booze make dwarves all the more fun.

My shiny fort became The Shinning. So many reclaimers lost because of a lack of booze.
