Note to warn all you modders.

If you wish to generate a map fast, please refrain from creating megabeasts with a damage block greater than there are squares on your map.

Now you know.

Ok, I'm curious, what does that do?

It makes an unbeatable set of monsters that will keep the (default)woldgen going (start points based on what percentage of MBs are left alive) until it hits the end year and make innumerable amounts of deaths.

The point of giving creatures high damblock is so that they survive through worldgen to come rape you in fortress mode.

And the trick is, to reduce their damblock / size back to somewhat more beatable proportions after worldgen is done

You know, if your trying to test out a mod, then obviously you'd want to avoid things that blatantly make worldgen take longer.

And if you are testing titans, it would be more effective to stop worldgen early.
