Your fortress has invaders disabled.

You have 13 hunting dogs assigned to 12 hunters, who have been rather busy killing fuzzy woodland critters.  You have lots of poultry, which have overrun your food stockpile with eggs. Your attempts ar creating cooked meals has resulted in endless solid egg roasts without any other ingredients. This is why you have such a large number for "other" in the food listing. (Either that or you are addicted to cheese.)

Your primary export is cloth, and the unprocessed pigtails and ropereeds are the bulk of the plant component listed. This is why you have so many farmers listed. (Plant processor dwarves are listed as farmers.) You may also be harvesting wool as a major industry as well.

You have had some minor trouble with wild animals, and have a single squad of marksdwarves to take care of them as they pop up. Probably turkeys and the like.

You have assigned different dwarves to every noble position, despite the possibility of double duty for more worthless nobles, such as the duke. (Eg, broker, manager, and duke can all reasonably be the same dwarf, which minimizes the trouble with keeping rooms just the right quality level to prevent bad thoughts.)

Okay, I said I wasn't sure about addressing any of these guesses, but the whole "only 10 marksdwarves" thing seems pretty popular.
Here's my answer to that:


Keep guessing!

I feel like this is one of those "can you tell what it is yet?" things, where I just keep giving you tantalizingly small pieces of information, each of which only raises more questions.
(Hoping for another picture?  NOPE!  An overused joke!)

I'm not good with FPS, but I think that you must have god's computer or something because you have over 150 dorfs and your still running at 100 FPS! Did you put them all into cryogenic sleep or something?

One other obvious thing is you must havr recruited most of those marksdwarves out of your ALARMINGLY high ranger population.

other than that? I've got nothing.

I've found that FPS tends to speed up when nothing is moving.

I leave mine uncapped in the init file.  In the menus the fps is in the thousands.

My machine is an i7 though...

I've only had to deal with FPS once, and that was from a mass of stone big enough to build the empire state building three times over.

12k export.  You clearly haven't developed a reliable way to execute the merchants yet.  Ya know, the dwarven discount...

ive gotten in the habit of replacing my chief medical dwarf as soon as he gains any notable skill in diagnosis.
It's really funny watching them do unnecessary surgery because of a wrong diagnosis.
the conditions were bad enough to turn a dwarf who didn't care about anything mad, that's pretty hardcore.

You embarked with a large force of axedwarves in mind.

You don't use blocks for your aboveground constructions.

These are... really specific.  I'm not saying they're true or false, but please explain how you figured these out.
