I semi-consistently keep getting worlds which are overrun by necromancers. All civilised sites fall in the first 300 years, then the rest of 750 years whizz by in 5 seconds with little to no activity. It is because my worldgen settings, I know; I turn the civs and sites all the way down and increase savagery and beasts, and always generate very long histories.

At least I get to have the monarch since the civs never truly die, and stay struggling.

Yeah, they just make disconnected camps. All over. They never truly die off. When they do, it is rare and it is usualy the kobolds.

Some very strange shit is happening in my world. As I saw in Legends viewer, the queen of my civilization seems to have recently participated in a goblin attack on one of my civilization's holdings, on the side of goblins (in an aptly named Outrageous War). She also dreams of becoming immortal, and is listed as former member of my civ, and present member of a goblin civ.

Is it a bug? Should I assassinate my own queen, just out of caution?

Interesting.  Does she have an alternate identity?

Damn, the queen went undercover.

One of the dwarf barons evidently threw one of their illegitimate heirs, as an infant, into a pit full of nondescript beasts. Its pretty weird stuff, as this is a vanilla DF install!

I'm still trying to figure out how this happened exactly. The baron participated in a military raid on a nearby goblin pit controlled by the baron's lover at the time, who was the lady of the local goblin government. Her mother / the infant's grandmother moved to the goblin pit "to be with the master" as opposed to being kidnapped. I dunno. Is there like some hard-coded thing where barons will throw their unwanted illegitimate heirs into a feral moose pit, as long as its during a military campaign?

Like this whole save file is completely cursed. Two of my adventurer's initial spawns involved the surrounding terrain collapsing around them and nearly knocking them out. And one human civ has had like 125 lawgivers by year 253. And one of those law-givers was apparently kidnapped by kobolds? Pfft, like how in the hell does that happen? What did they even want with him? They apparently just put him in a cave for 49 years, and he died of old age, and like, thats it.

Kobold: "Flabin flabidabis! Grabidlabaldis?!"
Human Law-Giver: "I'm irritable. I slept on the ground again."

It's a cursed save.

Lmao that is absolutely cursed. I have no idea if that's a bug or a feature, as is customary for much of DF - emergent story telling is born from such blursed moments

Yeah, it turns out the baby tossing has nothing to do with a quirk of temporarily inherited goblin ethics. Like most other problems in this game, the elves are, of course, to blame. Elven ethics, specifically. I mean obviously, why wouldn't the elves be at fault?

The goblin pit, Dungssteal, was also raided by a human civ and an elf civ during the same month of Sandstone in the year 52 (mid-autumn). The Dwarf baron's baby tossing is listed as occurring during the elven raid, even though the baron only participated in the dwarf raid. Due to the lack of date exactness in legends, stuff got screwy.

I just think this is neat

[Loud Whispers]

It's a Kobold world. You're just living in it

The worldgen ticker is a fun way to pass time while a big world is brewing up.

What do we have, hmm. Fox man necromancer, sparrow man necromancer, usual stuff. And then just as you're losing focus, someone kills and devours a hydra. Ha ha.
