I will report what has happened tomorro.

(I have no idea how much you know about computers)

It might LOOK like it froze, but if you go to Ctrl-Alt-Del, proccesses tab, and find the Dwarf Fortress process running with a >0 CPU then it's still doing something.  Let it keep running unless that drops to zero.

It didint freeze or crash it just became too slow one year took 2 minutes do play trough so i decided do stop the worldgen.

When doing super-long world gens, it's usually a good idea to turn history culling on, otherwise you end up with a save file that is 1.12 gigabytes.

I've found that on my super-chaotic-epic maps with 100x the population figures, it can sometimes spend 40-90 minutes working on a single year, then start going through the rest at 1 every two or three seconds.

I left it on overnight and someone in my household exited df. If you are doing this turn priority to high. Im just cruising the forums while my world gens.

 :-[What is history culling? It's not on the wiki.

[Deon]

Set "cull unimportant historical figures" on, it's in the world gen settings (e).

By the way, I can't link you to the thread right now, but there were people who made their DF to crash with a very long worldgen, so beware.

i find that after the first 300 years or so a long dull "golden age" dawns.
higher civ, pop and site numbers help to make fun.
