The Number of Ages
« on: September 24, 2022, 03:22:49 pm »

I would be very interested to know how many ages your world went through as you played it and if the world went through multiple ages of heroes or even multiple ages of Myths.

Let me rephrase. I would be very interested in knowing how many Ages people went through as they played their games, and how it happened. My hope is that we can compile a number of stories detailing the many ways ages can start, end or even restart.

Yes just like that. I wish to know which age the world started it, how it progressed beyond that, which Ages it went through, how THOSE ages began and ended, if any ages restarted etc.

For example, World generation starts and upon embarking the world is still in the Age Of Myth. A certain amount of demons are killed which leads to the game announcing the Age of Legends and eventually the Age of Heroes. Then lets say something happens, someone somewhere finds a tome of necromancy and becomes a necromancer or Vampires start repopulating, or you were very lucky and your world started out with a breeding pair of dragons/rocs eventually leading to the Age of Legends again. I want to know all the details of how each age began and how or why it ended or restarted.

Since Toady will start revamping and expanding how magic works, what living gods/megabeasts/semi-megabeasts can do, I also want to compare how the Ages progress before and after Myth And Magic Update.

Well, it is rare so you might just be better off skimming that wiki article since it details fairly clearly how and why ages start / relapse.

I recall the one time I affected a change was through the killing of a bronze colossus, resulting in a shift from the Age of Myth to the Age of Legends

The wiki is scant on details when it comes to Ages. Besides I want player experience on how their actions or the actions of others led to the shifting of ages.
