Increase the Maximum Titan Number
« on: July 13, 2014, 05:54:42 pm »

I think it would be cool if you could have 10000 titans, just like you can have 10000 megabeasts and semimegabeasts.  I wonder why it's set to 1000 rather than 10000.

You can do this already, with advanced worldgen. See the DF wiki page here.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Even with just a thousand titans you will find that they tend to wipe out all the civilized races in the world. You have to be much more careful with cranking up the mega fauna numbers in the new version of the game.

I was talking about advanced worldgen.  The maximum in advanced worldgen is 1000 titans.  Or do you mean by modifying the .txt file you can exceed the in-game cap or something?

Oh, I see.

I'm not sure why you'd want more than a thousand, though. Even half that number would wipe out pretty much every sentient race in a few decades.

I like to have an equal number of titans and megabeasts.

But you're right in general, and on top of that it also makes worldgen very slow.

Still, it would be nice,
