Is the TITLE entry supposed to affect the result?

No, that's just to organize your different worldgen styles when you're picking a new one to make.

Well it is, in a large region.  It didn't in a pocket region, that was why I asked.  I wonder what is going on here.   ???  Should I post it on bug tracking?

This came from a favorite world of mine, with the following populations.

   130963 Dwarves
   66407 Humans
   141128 Elves
   156821 Goblins
   2441 Kobolds

   Total: 497760

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I tried to reproduce the world from that, and what I got was one with these populations.

   151251 Dwarves
   76379 Humans
   143451 Elves
   236856 Goblins
   2301 Kobolds

   Total: 610238

But I had re-titled it as PLANE OF SOULS, so I tried changing that back to LARGE REGION.  What I got was:

   142325 Dwarves
   63612 Humans
   141294 Elves
   202481 Goblins
   2355 Kobolds

   Total: 552067

Which isn't either of the above, but the one entitled PLANE OF SOULS did generate the same world twice.

I have no idea, but history does seem to play out different at times.  I'm not sure what causes this.

History does not repeat itself.

Quote from: a Swedish electronics teacher
In Sweden, digital electronics is considered unteachable. That is why you are not being taught about it.
Most attempts of sesquipedalian loquaciousness on the internet will most likely end up in egregious delusions of eloquence. Finagle's law commands it!
