Well, there's really not much more to add to that question - do the players achievements already get calculated into the Legend archive or is this feature still to be added? I really would like to end the "Age of the Demon"...

Dunno, but you're lucky.  All of my worlds have gone Age of Myth, Age of Legends, and then Age of Heroes.

A bit off topic, but do we have a list of the different ages attainable?

Hm... My pocket world was the home of the Age of Strapclimax. After a few tries, I managed to kill the titular megabeast with a bowman. All that's left is to wait a year I suppose, but that will have to be on hold until dwarves can survive their sleep patterns.

I suppose that you could give Dwarves Nosleep, and then just have to deal without the annoyance of it.

I guess being able to "Fast-Forward" time should be on the "features wanted" list!  ;D

I suppose the old statement "Only time will tell." applies well enough to this situation...
Slightly offtopic:
I have never heard the word "eponymous" used in any way before.
Never.
And I'm almost 30 years old.

Yes, indeed, time will tell.. For the moment, I am pretty happy with being able to meet the fisherman (!) who ended the "Age of the Demon and Hydra" by obviously taking out the name-giving Hydra..

Concerning that word:
Ah. Well. Umm.
Well, I got it from somewhere *scratches head* - and I found it to be the most fitting word here. [While I am not doubting anyone's education / ability to check Wikipedia or any dictionary themselves, I shall allow myself to add this excerpt:]
Quote from: Wikipedia
An eponym is the name of a person, whether real or fictitious, which has (or is thought to have) given rise to the name of a particular place, tribe, era, discovery, or other item. An eponymous person is the person referred to by the eponym. In contemporary English, the term eponymous is often used to mean self-titled[...]

It's probably a combination of "epoch" and "nym", which means "name".  So it would make sense as the name of an era/age/so on.

I've heard it before. It's quite often used when talking about characters who share the books name (like Tom Sawyer, Dracula or Podkayne). at least by people who want to seem overcultured.  ;)

Hi!

Dunno, but you're lucky.  All of my worlds have gone Age of Myth, Age of Legends, and then Age of Heroes.

Same.

Well, I have had "Age of Twilight" in a few worlds now. But no monster named ages (given how quickly megabeasts get extinct at the moment, I am not really surprised (^_^;; ).

I've managed to get an Age of Elves, a Dwarven Age, several Golden Ages, a couple Second Golden Ages and one Age of Sam in addition to the myth, legends, heroes and twilight. Not all in the same world of course.

Oh, Sam was a Titan btw.

I have found that the ages with interesting names seem to be more likely in smaller worlds. When there are only a few megabeasts/demons, you can get names like 'The Age of the Demon and Hydra' etc, but I think this is less likely to happen in the larger worlds where there are a larger variety of megabeasts.

I have also come across 'The Age of Two Demons' and 'The Age of Three Powers' both in small worlds.
