I think the specific history of the world, either through the random generation process, or by interactions from the player, would determine the fate of the world, whether it becomes a utopia or an ashen ruin. Or anything in between. Or something completely different!

Im sure it would be a nightmare for Toady to program, but it would be oh-so-cooL!

Still... were talking something more towards the scale of Spore.

You could eat fruit at the dawn of time, spit a seed into a puddle and centuries later your dwarf pauses for a rest under one of the original tree's descendants. And an apple falls on his head, which he then eats!

According to Toady keeping the entire world in memory would take up a ridiculous number of gigabites. So i wonder how the game would handle and record such a volume of information.
