World Activation
« on: November 22, 2015, 02:31:59 pm »

As you all likely know, version 40.xx was the world activation release which moved a lot of history gen activities into gameplay.

World activation:
All hist figs in the world now get married have children and do their various jobs, outside your fortress. And all their children do the same. (people are continuously simulated while you play your fortress all over the world)
Kings and other nobel positions of all civs properly shift when old nobels die and people can rebel, assassinate, among other things to shift politics to their agendas.
NPC Sites are built, conquered , and destroyed, and reclaimed while playing.
Armies actually move around the map while playing, and they all do this, not just the armies attacking your fortress.
Bandits actually harass towns people.
Civs need a strategic reason to attack you, gone are the days of invasions every year, now if you get the attention of a hostile civ and they have the resources to attack you and they have an agenda, that makes them want to attack you, they will then attack.
Many many other processes from history gen have been brought into gameplay as-well.

I suggest someone (not me as I do not have the time) create a wiki article about this important mechanic as a lot of people don't understand what this term means let alone the effects it has on gameplay.

No one?

Why is no one replying to this, why no desire to add this page to the wiki with the other game-changing mechanics?

I'd reply because I completely agree with you. But then someone might say 'well go ahead and update the wiki then' and I'd have to mutter some excuses about overtime and late reports and slink away quietly.
No, I'll just applaud your stance quietly from the sidelines thanks.

Wait, did I just say all that out loud? Doh!

It takes 5 seconds to make a wiki article. Doesn't matter how good it is, as long as it's there it'll be edited.

Here's the basic version. Edit it as you fee fit.

Should just be a blank page with a link to this thread.  :P
