Legends, demographics.
« on: April 14, 2010, 03:11:42 am »

I've been experimenting with extinctions, the destruction of civilizations and, other world gen catastrophes. While doing this I realized that it would be a nice addition if legends mode would output the demographics of currently living sentients. It would be useful to know how many elves are members of a particular civ or how many dwarves are alive overall. As it stands it is fairly difficult to extract such information. It doesn't seem like this would be too difficult to add.

Legends mode definitely needs a few overhauls (and that's a nice information to have - maybe someone should start a thread on legends mode display in general if one doesn't exist yet), though until then this specific information can be gleaned by using the text export (p) and the Parselog utility. It mostly works for the newest version, and does provide the information you want.

I wasn't aware of that utility; I should have searched more. Thank you.
