Legends mode & History reveal
« on: March 31, 2017, 04:29:16 pm »

Question: is it possible to uncover full history of an already generated world without exploring everything by adventurers?

Reason is that I have an old 0.34.11 world that I'd really like to read in full glory (long-going adventure with good companions).

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

Was Legends Mode not a thing back then?

Creating a world with history reveal option turned off was a thing as well, and I've done so, expecting a fun exploration. Then, many facts about my characters got lost in history.

I never generated a world with those parameters. Perhaps try and export the legends to legends viewer?

Tried that right before asking question here. Legends viewer is amazing and it does reveal much info hidden by the game, but it does not work with structures, art, book contents, has bad time with listing HFS deaths, can't decipher weapons into proper words, has limits on events that could be listed per site... So I'm using a combination of in-game Legends and Legends Viewer and it would be much easier with fully revealed history. I guess I'll manage as is.

I suppose... if you really want to... you could translate the words yourself using the vocabulary at the wiki...

sounds like a lot of work though, but who knows, maybe you'll learn to speak fluent "dwarven" in the process :D
