I'm currently start&retire an adventurer to see if my retired Fortress can survive w/o me for a few years. Could be nice if there an option to fastforward world.

You could create and kill a bunch of adventurers. The world will advance two weeks each time.

It would probably be a lot easier to create a new fortress and wait for a few years, rather than create & kill hundreds of adventurers.

I do wonder one thing about active worlds. Do they build things like roads? Because I like to have start in beginning of time and get nice road into my fortress much later...

just because they share the name doesnt mean that they are the same person.

That appears to be under the summary for a single person. Was he a retired adventurer? There is a clone bug associated with that.

I retired and returned to a worldgen-ruin-reclaim fortress, only to find out that 1) the outpost liaison had turned hostile and settled in an empty bedroom, 2) the FB that had destroyed the fort was now a 'current resident' and sitting in one of the empty bedrooms, and 3) the elf zombie invasion (necrosiege) who had been milling around for two years or so had finally left...

I wonder if, in the two week meantime, the game decided that the outpost liaision was visiting the FB and not the reclaim party leader...
