I have started genning a world for comparison.

I am averaging about a year every 2 seconds. This is going to take a bit.

It's also making some other programs run slowly. So that's fun.

[KodKod]

Just started one, 28 rejections. How many rejections have others gotten?

Less than 20 each time, which seems like a standard number to me. The world rejection log is coming up with legitimate reasons so I am not worried about rejections.

Damn, now that I think about it, it has been quite a while since I've genned a world this big.   Too bad I can't embark or poke in the legends tonight; darn day job ... 

[Kofthefens]

Well, year 400, and it's been about 15 minutes.

[KodKod]

Well here it is, the next world I’m uploading for you. It has oodles of civs, sites and beasties, as well as masses of minerals for you greedy types.

This will also be the last, since plenty of other people seem to have jumped onto the bandwagon.

If you want to make a special request for me to generate a world with special parameters or using your own raws then send me a private message and I'll consider it. If you don’t want to make a request then send me a private message and I'll consider it.

[Kofthefens]

Well, mine is done now. It has been 45 minutes, but since I haven't been watching it, it could have been as few as 30.

[armeggedonCounselor]

Finished. Maybe the OP just has a not so good computer? Or maybe Toady did something that better optimized the World Gen, to limit the possibility of the game crashing during Gen.

[Vanaheimer]

Hmm, I'll give it a shot. I've done it once before on a slow ass creaky old computer, it didn't crash but it did take well over an hour.

Done, 13 rejections.

[KodKod]

Whelp, I think it's safe to say that we've conclusively proven that World Generation is working fine and doesn't slow down to unacceptable speeds or crash, so long as your computer can handle the world you're trying to generate.

Good ‼SCIENCE‼, comrades. Tequila time!

funnily enough, I have a bottle of fine tequila in my kitchen. I think I shall join you in a toast.

Kod KOd - what PC specs are you working on?

KodKod - what PC specs are you working on?

Windows 7 64bit.
Intel Core i5-2500k.
8GB RAM.

When 34. first came out there were some problems in world gen that caused crashes, most if not all seem to be fixed now, at least the more serious ones, and it seems to have been made easier on the processor. In 34.04 and earlier it took me most of 30 minutes to generate 250 years on a medium world (not an up to date computer), now it takes 10 minutes. So all the complaints still around are most likely from people who havn't updated because they would have to give up their pet fortress in an older version or who use older machines.

For experiment, I'll run a large, max history on my computer and see how long it takes. Note that I'll stop after an hour anyway if it's not past 750 years by then

I'm not sure that Armok is the sort of deity one would pray to for protection.  For the utter destruction of one's enemies?  Sure.  But for protection?

one hour, year 920, not bad, 56 rejects

57k historical figures, 37k of them dead, 500k historical events and counting

goes forward a year every 5 seconds or so. Interesting enough, in year 949 there were 500k+events, then in 950 there were 490k+

Now, first see the legends a bit, then, Strike The Earth!
