Resume world generation
« on: July 20, 2008, 08:59:03 pm »

I'd like to be able to resume world generation once playing in the world a bit.
Now that I can spark wars in adventure mode (and in fortress mode as well?), I'd like to be able to let it run for awhile on its own. Let the war simmer a bit, then jump back in at later point.

Or come back to an abandoned fort once it's been occupied & re-cleansed several times. Or when it's implemented, leave the fortress running for some time and come back later (after starting a war  8)).

Even if you can't resume worlds after you make a fort... still, being able to resume them after you run around in adventure mode killing things would be -awesome-.

Truly awesome.

This is asked for quite a bit but is usually called things like "Fast forwarding"

However yeah I agree there needs to be an option somewhere in the future though not immediately as many of the options and abilities that make it worthwhile arn't in play.

Well, I think just about no matter what happens this feature will be necessary eventually.  However, right now there wouldn't really be much to see in the future as a result of your actions.  Forts die out as soon as you leave them and the actions of adventurers cannot start wars or anything.  However, this would be a very good idea for later in the army arc.

Make an uber-legendary adventurer with legendary in as many stats as possible.

Become an enemy of every civ and group but one.

Retire in only friendly town.

Resume world generation.

Profit.
