So since this is like, my home forum [i feel weird aorund those 'general topic' fellas.], and this is sort of a gameplay issue, I might as well break it here first. I'm going to gen a world, many civilizations, long history, many large beasts, etc etc... then, I'm going to sit down with a note pad and go through the Legends until I find a story that makes me go ''Holy shit.''  I think intend to glorify the story with as much padding as I can possibly muster, and write a story out for it. I know, right? A labor of love.

Anyways, my issue is this; I think I've been genning the world for the last 30 minutes to an hour, I don't know I've been watching 'Speed'. It's currently at year 515, so 535 ish to go or something. Why is this taking so long? Is there a way to speed it up? Cause if I get to good stories, I'm going to have to do this again, and I can only watch Keanue Reeves ride a bus for so long.



Edit; Infact, I could even make it more... interactive, per se. I could choose several stories, and have you guys pick the one you want me to write about [but I can't promise the others won't make it into story form.]. Current year: 718 and counting.

Edit2: So it finished, and I've spent like the last two hours reading through legends. It seems this world is full of dwarves who can't kill anything to save their lives [sometimes literally.] So, to keep from having to regen a world, disregard this.. I'll have to find something else to write about. ><

Edit3: Bleh. I'll probably just do a rewriting of Dragonwork's ''retaking'', albeit with a different outcome, just using that story as a base... now I feel like I'm rambling to myself, and in the completely wrong forum! Urg.

You might be able to speed it up by closing anything that uses processing power and then taking a nap. And its going to take a long time, just be patient young grasshopper.

I burned that world alive.  My sleep deprivation couldn't handle the thousands upon thousands of king/general switching and mundane, useless stuff. I generated a medium world with medium history just to make a random fortress on [or adventurer, I hadn't decided] when I got this:

The civilization is The Matched Page. There was some sort of war between them and some elves, and first the dwarves rejected their peace offering, then half a season later accepted it. Then, an offshoot of the civ was attacked by someone led by a marmot devil, and the detachment was defeated, the dwarven bodies mutilated. I only got that far before my creative senses started tingling.

You do use a legend viewer right? could be pretty hard to filter out the useless crap without it. allthough it might take another hours to load it into the viwer.
Also, there is this

Change this to make the dwarfort.exe process have a different priority.  From highest to lowest, the options are REALTIME, HIGH, ABOVE_NORMAL, NORMAL, BELOW_NORMAL and IDLE.

[PRIORITY:NORMAL]

This might increase the speed, I have no idea if it will actually work though .
Having a smaller world will also decrease generation time by a fuckton
