I find with each upgrade world gen has been getting slower as it gets more feature packed, I usually play with a 50 year history for fear of waiting a year for each year of simulation


I've decided to be more patient with the game. If I'm genning a world, I set the parametres to exactly what I know I will give me a workable world, let it do its thing. Grab a coffee, read, hop on to another computer or something for 10-15 minutes.
good luck with that. RNG guarantees anomalies such as dead dwarven civ, missing civs, overpowered/underpowered civs/ridiculously stupid world name, etc

i usually gen about 20 worlds before i get a perfect one, where every civ is more or less balanced and there arent any elf dark fortresses. of course, if you fancy of playing those kinds of games, i guess nobody can tell you otherwise  :P

i also see no point in playing huge worlds. i usually play with only 5 civs (one for each race) so that it gets very streamlined and not confusing. i also make words that attempt to prevent the "a great beast has been harassing our people! go to the other side of the world, across the ocean through impassible mountains to get there!" type of annoyances. when everyone is accessible and connected, adventure mode is so much more fun. i suppose when it  gets more commute features then we could be arguing the efficiency of this

RNG doenst govern how dead a civ is, its based on the simulation (which admittedly has some rng in it, but it isn't just random :P)

From the player's perspective, it's random.
