World Gen

What are the consequences of halting World Gen before full history generation?

Is it like a baby with not enough oxygen at birth?

Nothing.  You get a younger world, maybe less population, but maybe a more diverse group of civs, more embark sites that haven't been populated by a civ, etc...

World gen used to stop automatically when certain conditions were met, but those conditions are generally un-meetable now, so it just goes until whatever hard stop date you've specified.
