When I embarked look at what I got:




Really now,
Really?

the only reason I kept this world was because it was at the age of myth :/

The amount of malice in this thread is actually causing me some concern. I mean, chaining up mothers and forcing them to breed, just so we can drown their children to harvest their organs? Does this strike no one else as absolutely horrific?
You misspelled 'hilarious'

If you played a fort or an adventurer in this world before and killed some megabeasts the age will change.

Hm. How old is that world? Did you check legends? Maybe your embark saved dwarfs from extinction and tipped the megabeast/civ balance enough for an age change. Don't know if that's possible though.

Maybe it has something to do with the seven starting dwarves becoming historical figures.

This is possible, and can result in an age change.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!
