New please help regarding world gen
« on: March 29, 2014, 03:35:56 pm »

hello when i use the advance world gen i cant seem to adjust the end year, well i can adjust it but it doesnt make a difference each world enddate seems to be determined by size, also on a unrelated note when i start the game it alt tabs and a command prompt appears seeming to display a few erros, is this normal or shld i be worried? thanks.

also no problems using standard world gen regarding end date, is it safe to just use it?

remember to save your changes as well, what kind of errors?. and yeah standard world gen is safe to use silly, the maps provided are for some change of pace if your used to the regular worlds from standard gen/vanilla

a) standard world gen can cause quite severe problems with Masterwork, so better use advanced worldgen with MW-maps (not the default ones)
b) worldgen may end before the set end date, when a certain percentage of megabeast have been slain or similar. In any case, it is NOT recommended to use enddates >100 due to some problems with the masterwork civs surviving worldgen and world gen often crashing on longer histories, so this should not be an issue, if you respect that advice
