I was walking somewhere and this idea just hit me out of nowhere. Here are the steps:

1) Generate a world with advanced parameters, preferably with a long enough history to amass some heroes.
2) Look through the history for an epic unit that ended up dying at some point during worldgen.
3) Note down the name, race, and gender of the killer and what year the unit you chose died.
4) Regen an exact copy of the world up to the year when the unit you chose died, possibly 1 year before and then start a fortress to make sure you get the proper year without any chance of the unit dying.
5) Make an adventurer as close as you can get to the killer of the chosen unit. Probably just the name, race, and gender.
6) Enter into the world as the adventurer, find and kill the person you are impersonating, then kill the unit you chose earlier.
7) Report back here with either your success or failure, with the details of both the killer and the target.
Repeat with the same world, just use your base world to keep "entering the past" and replacing people.

Please leave a comment on your thoughts of this as a challenge.

That is freaky and diabolical.  I love it.  And it totally violates space time continuity, which I am a huge fan of.

the only reason that this will not work is that by changing any parameters (such as worldgen length) you change the eventual history.

for reference, see the cacame thread, and the attempts to duplicate him.

Yeah, but it's not like that matters.
