Unknown creatures...
« on: February 10, 2010, 05:54:31 pm »
Modding: am I doing it wrong?

When looking at the history of a freshly genned world, I saw that several people had killed, or in some cases MARRIED unknown creatures. Am I doing something wrong?

Not if you have historical figure culling on in your world settings.

Sometimes unremarkable(those who did nothing noteworthy) entities get removed from history, meaning the game has no idea who this creature that the king/queen/other entity is.

Actually, unknown creatures will appear regardless of your worldgen parameters.

Unless your worldgen parameters FORBID LIFE.

Actually, it's more like if you have the option enabled to cull unimportant historical figures.

Biag is correct - unknown creatures will show up even if figure culling is off, but only vary rarely, and for reasons I don't understand.

Still, it's not a problem either way.
