Those who have trouble running DF, I'm curious what kind of CPUs you have.
I've been debating getting an eee pc, probably one of the new atom models. Then I started worrying: what if it won't play dwarf fortress?

This may be of use to you. On an Eee PC 4G, with 512MB RAM, you can expect pretty poor performance. Depends on how much better the Atom model is. I have a 4 x 3.1GHz Pentium, with 4GB of RAM, so I'll be interested to see how it copes when I have a lot of dwarves.

My backup plan is to run DF on my home computer and tunnel it to the laptop.

Has anyone has any terrible encounters with unicorns yet? I have a great location I found, a nice brook running through the middle, huge magma vent visible from the surface, native aluminum visible from the surface just waiting to be mined, and I just discovered ore I can make into iron. But, hordes and hordes of unicorns wandering around my borders. How vicious are they? I've heard they're becoming as bad as elephants, and from my reading of boatmurder I know how bad that can be.

I wish I could run into some vicious unicorns, I'm having trouble finding things to fight.

Thanks, I was worried for a moment that I would have to flood the entire world boatmurder style around all sides of my fortress. I certainly have enough magma to do it.

I thought I was the only one who didn't found things to kill but goblins and kobolds. Just draft all your dudes, 7 wrestlers can take 'em down easy. I saw a goblin tower destroyed that way, so... In the worst and most likely case you have loads of fun.  |

Surprisingly, the unicorns haven't given me any trouble yet. I got a ranger in my first immigration, and he went right out and started killing unicorns. Strangely, he's had great success, and even weirder, the butcher is for some reason able to turn the unicorn corpses into delicious unicorn patties. It's either a bug or the ez-install version I'm using edited them to be edible. I'm not complaining, its just means more unicorn meat for all my dwarfs.

With every new release the game runs slower for me and yet I still play it.
The lag is intolerable and it takes forever to do anything, but I still love it.
Dwarf Fortress: It's that good!

Because with every version DF gets more ridiculously complex.
And that's pretty much what it thrives on.

I've noticed the exact opposite for me: The first version is incredibly slow, but the later releases load and generate faster. But yes the complexity is ridiculous.

I haven't suffered any lag. And Dwarf Fortress isn't that complicated. I find it easier to understand and play than SimCity 4. It just takes verything to a level that most game don't dare. Everywhere you can simualte making civilization, cities, wathever, and everything looks simple. Creating cities ain't simple stuff.

I mean complexity more in the underlying structures. Like the world building. I'm pretty sure DF has the most advanced world generation of any game ever. Though people are free to prove me wrong.
