World gen taking forever?
« on: February 22, 2012, 02:10:33 pm »
Is it a known issue that world gen is taking ages to complete?

It starts off quite nicely, but by around year 100 it slows down considerably.  By year 200, it's taking minutes to do each year - mind you, I'm on an amazing computer, so it's not my comp.

If this is exponential, I can't imagine how long it would take to actually get to year 1050.  Weeks, months - maybe a year.

Same problem, And my computer is awesome too. I think it's the processor/RAM that would help that, See how good yours are.

Assuming the time complexity of the world generation is exponential I would advise against upgrading your systems right now.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Short answer, were creatures generate tons of events and multiply too fast. Read that thread for longer answers.

OI don't know what all the hassle is, I just finished genning a 1050 World on a LARGE landmass size.
Already explored it with a few random forts, has some MONSTER landscapes and over 70,000 historical people

Ask not what the Dwarfs can do for you...

Don't know what happened to yours. 70k is trivial. Smallest I've seen for a 1050/large on my system had 7x that by year 350. Default settings or did you adjust anything?
