[PTTG??]

I'm trying to make a convincing Generational fort without sacrificing, um, decades of my life. So, I gave Dwarves and goblins shorter lifespans, and then I divided all the lifespans and child-ages in Creatures_standard by 4, bringing the maximum age for Dwarves down to 25-30 "years", with each season being the lifespan-equivalent of a year.

But now a dog will live almost as long as a Dwarf! So I went through common_domestic and /4 all the ages, so things are ok. This still leaves a large number of biome-based creatures, but that's not a big deal for me. I'm wondering if there's interest in making a finished version; anybody else want fast-aging dwarves?

Don't you have problems with world gen if you shorten lifespan? I remember I created a creature once that was supposed to breed like crazy but have a short lifespan, and the problem was that because it only lived 30 years almost every one would die before giving birth. It was only until I raised the minimum lifespan to 35 that it actually started to work.

Modding it in after world gen should be fine though.

World gen seems to work fine. 300 years = 1200 "years".
