The elves spend ages bioengineering while the dwarves continue to fuck the world.  It's pretty obvious.

Well...
In the dwavern attempts at screwing up the elves bio-engineering, they REALLY screwed up the world, freezing deserts warm glaciers, and crashes when saving...

Cyclical ice ages? That's either weird, or cool. I think only Toady would be able to tell us if it was HFS or not, but then again, if it were... he probably wouldn't say anything or simply be cryptic about it.

Once every 100 years?

EDIT: Of course that's what I said.

All nobles are actually mind controlled dwarves out to steal our precious precious minerals for the glory of elfdom?
no just to try to drive the dwarves to whatever drugs elves are taking.

Wow, that world is ancient. Not to mention the badessedness of ice ages, glitch or not. Now do it with Orcs and see if you can manage to get anything to survive. :P

i would but the game is REALLY glitchy, between insta-melt glaciers and frozen deserts, above all constant crashing...

can't even go without crashing long enough to make a proper fort...

Too many historical figures. You may want to cut out some sort of option in the init, that might help.  Maybe.  I think something for culling historical figures is in the init...

Yea, imagine a version of that Planepacked artifact bieng made for that world, with a recording of the entire history of the world. All 10,000 years of it. That would be one massive artifact. The creator might even need advanced technology just to put all the information on there, or one really big wall and a century or two, and then a few years documenting that last two centuries. The dwarf might even be dead before completion since dwarves are suppoused to be able to live quite a long time.

if it really happened, it'd probably crash my computer, there where over 2 million events by the year 3000...

What world size did you pick, and did you pick the generic ones labeled by size or a homebrewed world concoction?

I picked a small world and genned it to the year 5,000 and all I got was 816,157 events.

i picked medium and genned to the year 10,000, on just custom world set to gen to the year 10,000... but i stopped at 6549 because it was REALLY slow...
